That's not at all the narrative on Scoop.  But hey, you do you.

I seem to remember a narrative in Kolek and Oso's senior year about no agents, and everyones paid the same. Pretty much tracks to what Wades just said.

Also I wouldnt believe those numbers.  This is the time of year agents can try and sell anything.

What? C'mon! I heard the offer was $10 million.

It's not?  It's been a huge talking point since the staff (publicly) stated that they'd be going into the transfer portal and changing how they're building their roster.

Are you guys kidding me? Everyone knew for sure Kolek was getting more.  Maybe you guys are just reading what you want to?  See here: https://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=67674.msg1794318#msg1794318

The narrative existed Rocky. No one said myself or Wades believed it.

There is a reason Kolek did those law commercials, Kam did the orange soda commercials, and Oso had the food truck. That was additional NIL revenue above what the collective pay was.

Duke did not pay Cooper Flagg all that money he got directly - but Duke had the connections to get Cooper Flagg ATT commercials and other endorsements.

Hah, well it is a narrative, but not THE narrative.  Shaka quitting after this year...everyone but James, Stevens, and Parham leaving are narratives too.  lol

Fair point.

So you're claiming Duke violated rules? hmmm

What rules are there actually if they can't be enforced? The NCAA is powerless, and they know it.

Many posters here think everyone in the same class get the same $, sort of like elections are rigged narrative

They were out all night!! No wonder they can't play for 40 minutes

Agree just providing the Scoop at Hanging at The Al. However have heard Jordan would stay out late Game nights and granted it was football but Max McGee won a Super Bowl staying out all night. Have witnessed the 49ers staying out late and winning and the 49ers won 5 Super Bowls.

Is MUMike HermanCain re-reincarnate?  Guy is everywhere with everyone.

Am real life Jason Bourne reincarnate. Have been in Gun fights chrome bar fights and knife fights. Have made Jason Bourne look like a sissy many times.

You may think you know me. Was very lucky.
But no big deal it is just a part of me 😉

No way keefe would quote himself so much.  He'd create 2 or 3 more identities to prop up the one he liked the best.

This was shared this morning from a ON3 Article regarding the transfer portal.

"An assistant coach in the Big East told ON3 there is a player within this league that is being offered $2 million to return to his current school. Another program in the conference is offering the player $4 million to transfer to their program.

This is just a single example of what is happening behind closed doors as we lead up to the portal."

There are maybe 2 or 3 guys that this could be about in our league, but the obvious one is the guy who will be starting at PG for us tonight.

I'd like to get back to this (because it's interesting to me).  It seems obvious Pitino (Sr) would be the poacher.   Freshman potential to be paid/poached:  Acaden Lewis, Najai Hines, Jamier Jones, Nigel James Jr., even Stefan Vaaks

But maybe I'm wrong and Shaka is trying to get Najai Hines and Stefan Vaaks.

Could definitely see Willard playing that game.
