I was under the impression that once you get into the mid to late first round, NIL can start to become competitive with NBA money.

But don't forget the value of potentially getting to that 2nd contract a year sooner because that's where the real money is.

Ok... so are we talking about Dix or Sarr? Or we are losing both to Kansas?

Everyone just posting stuff with no links, source, etc?
They are separate things, Dix is getting a huge offer from Kansas and apparently Duke is getting involved with Sarr.
 
#734      
Other boards saying that Sarr is back to “negotiation” stage, while Dix was offered 2mil from Kansas.

Reading is fundamental. 🫤

EDIT: LMAO you got me you guys

According to Derek Piper it is

Insider face-off!!!!

Is Derek just parroting the rumor? What did he say? Link?

EDIT: Not finding anything about this via any of Piper's outlets... nothing on X even

Is the rumor that Duke is just showing interest? If Sarr is as good as we think he is, that should not be a surprise in the slightest.

I dunno.... having one player pulling in 2mil in NIL, while the other top players on the team are getting maybe 15-20% of that may not be the best route to a happy locker room.
I mean if they were PTOY candidates they could also command that type of money

It’s because OP ripped it off their paid site… pretty poor taste and against this boards rules IIRC.

piper/the entire inquirer crew is extremely solid and rarely substantiates rumors that don’t have some weight behind them.

A and B are correct! Good on ya.

Player C is a P4 guy and was our starting 2 for an entire offseason.
Player D plays for the beloved.

All look like they could be seen at the same family reunion.
Player C - Luke Goode
Player D - Jake Davis

They would fit the same family reunion comment. Wow - the per 100 can really be deceiving given it doesn’t have usage baked in, but Goode had a highly efficient year at IU

You have to love fan forums. Especially in the new NIL and transfer portal world. One second we are bringing everybody back and getting everybody and the next second Sarr is now going to the highest bidder and we have no shot at Dix. And we might get Bryce Hopkins. It's gold Jerry.
