At some point, you probably need to start buying players with NIL money but I feel like we are not quite there yet in terms of paying top NIL dollars for recruitment. Therefore I am not optimistic about Mayer recruitment.So if Mayer is just looking for max NIL, not a Brad Every Day Guy no?
Not how I'd look at it.So if Mayer is just looking for max NIL, not a Brad Every Day Guy no?
It is possible for someone to want maximum benefit while also playing at maximum effort. These are not mutually exclusive.So if Mayer is just looking for max NIL, not a Brad Every Day Guy no?

Is there a reason why? We’ve shown Whitman’s athletic department isn’t exactly small time with its willingness to spend. I’d bet we have as much as anyone not named Duke/Kentucky/UNC/etc., which admittedly would be a factor against us with Meyer.At some point, you probably need to start buying players with NIL money but I feel like we are not quite there yet in terms of paying top NIL dollars for recruitment.

It's the businesses that you have to get to pony up the money, not the athletic department.Is there a reason why?

Flip Hawkins and Nance, I also still think Dain would start with Nance playing the 4.....I get the sense that positionless basketball is what Brad is going for. I think the last thread kinda brought up the point about who would start and I think if you bring in Mayer and Nance...
(and side note -Mayer looking for a bag of money is not a bad thing. kid didn't get invited to either camp so this will probably be his best shot at making the most money in his career. the fact that brad is still interested in him tells us he's a good fit)
... that you have 6 players that need/really want to start.
Clark (1,2)
RJ (2,3,4)
TSJ (2,3,4)
Mayer (3,4)
Hawkins (4,5)
Nance (4,5)
Now I know that no one in this thread has the balls to put out a projected lineup but I do.
Clark
TSJ
Mayer
Nance
Hawkins
RJ is a stud but at the beginning of the season, I think Brad will START the more senior members of the team. I still think RJ will end up with 25 minutes.
I think Hawkins will start the 5 because if Nance is to come here, he will want to up his draft stock. Playing the 4 will offer that to him more than the 5 (although I do think we will play pretty positionless basketball.)
Bold predictions:
I think Nance will lead the team in minutes played with about 30.
