The question then becomes can Illinois offer the highest NIL $$$ to land Holmes? Every blue blood, whether real (Duke, UNC, Kentucky, Kansas) or imagined (Indiana, MSU, UCLA, etc.), will be after him.

Probably not, but if one of those programs pours all of their NIL into Holmes, there’s that much less ammo out there in the landscape for the players we want. The better and more varied options in the portal, the better.

Players will follow the money.

What college basketball now needs is for the money to follow player retention across seasons, so programs are built over time with team narratives and fan familiarity with their players back into the system.

This can either be the best thing to ever happen to the sport, or its imminent implosion. Thoughtful and brave leadership is the difference between those two outcomes.

Like I mentioned earlier ... Some of these programs are gonna be wishing they didn't take guys as early as they did ...

Some of those schools listed have already spent their NIL budget ... So unless they get rid of a guy ... They couldn't afford Holmes ...

Was wondering about this the other day. Kind of like with free agency...you don't want to set the market. Patience.

COTTAGE CHEESE FRIES​

Written By Bradley Bohn

INGREDIENTS
  • 8 Servings of Crinkle Cut Fries (I used Kroger Brand)
  • 2 Cups of 4% Cottage Cheese Blended
  • 4 Tablespoons of Hoosier Hill Farm Big Daddy Mac Mix Cheese Powder (You can use any cheese powder of your preference)
  • 1 Cup of Private Selection Alpine Blend Cheese (White Cheddar would be a good substitute)
  • 4 tsp Siracha Hot Chili Sauce
  • 6-8 Green Onions
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ tsp Kimchi Seasoning (Optional or sub with a light dusting of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes)
Preparation:
1. I chose to air fry my French Fries at 380 Degrees for roughly 16-18 Minutes vs bake or deep fry. They turned out very crispy and golden brown; however, follow the package directions for whichever cooking method you 5.

About 3 Minutes before your Fries are done cooking prepare the cheese sauce.
2. Blend Cottage Cheese until very smooth
a. Next add in Cheese Powder to the blended cottage cheese and stir
b. Measure out a cup of shredded cheese in a bowl and rinse it off and drain the water off and combine with cottage cheese mixture in a Microwave Safe bowl
  • This will help it melt better
  • If you freshly grate your cheese, skip this step.
3. Place the Cottage Cheese Mixture in the microwave for 30-60 Seconds and then stir. It will likely only need 1 minute to 90 seconds total to become warm and pourable.
  • NOTE: this will set up very quickly! Do Not microwave it until right before you are ready to pour it over your French Fries!!!
4. If you timed this step appropriately, your fries should have just finished cooking in the air fryer. Place the cooked French fries in a bowl and toss with salt and Kimchi seasoning
5. Place fries on a serving plate/platter from the bowl
6. Pour Melted Cheese Mixture over the french fries

[I'd have just linked it, other than the steps were interleaved with another recipe that they were preparing at the same time.]

How does IL have a realistic shot when Kentucky has plenty more NIL to spend and has no roster?
