Nobody plays for the name on the front anymore. It's all about the name on the back.Transfer Portal, recruiting and NIL all rolled into one. From ESPN:
Miami Hurricanes guard Isaiah Wong will enter the transfer portal on Friday if his name, image and likeness (NIL) compensation isn't increased, his NIL agent, Adam Papas of NEXT Sports Agency, told ESPN on Thursday.
"If Isaiah and his family don't feel that the NIL number meets their expectations they will be entering the transfer portal tomorrow, while maintaining his eligibility in the NBA draft and going through the draft process," Papas said.

I don't know that NIL really changes the pecking order much. At the end of the day, there are only so many spots. The bigger problem for mids is the immediate eligibility. One good season and you look for a better spot. I suppose NIL increases the incentive to move up, so there is that.

I think it's the combo - you can be the star at a Mid Major, but if you transfer, not only can you play right away.. you know the downside risk of being relegated to the bench will at least get you some coin in your pocket, not too bad of a fallback even if it doesn't work out too well basketball wise.
Playing for the name in the front is what allowed student athletes to be profited off of while getting little in return for decades. That system is gone, and that’s okay. Can’t hate on kids for looking out for their best interest, that what the pros would do too.

I love the Illini, but I didn't go to school there. I attended multiple schools while serving in the military. Always kept rooting for the Illini, and there are some legends that I'll never forget. That said, I attended multiple schools so I could get a piece of paper and a good paying job. While I didn't get the traditional college experience, I did achieve the end goal- I got a job.

At least until another school offers them more NIL money I suppose.
Right?? I'd love to add a player like him but with all the stirring up of TSJ and Nance, I do no think my brain can handle any more players until we get clarity from those two
just imagine how blown away we would have been with the #8 class alone 4 years ago. Now we're coming off a B10 championship and have that class.
I'm curious what this means. What was overdue and why?

I see Antonio Reeves of ISU landed in Kentucky. I'm not surprised that he found a spot in an elite program..that's how good he is.
We have time to start saving.
