I like James Brown, but I don't see how he is ranked higher than Morez.

To me, I still see Morez as fairly raw. But in terms of ceiling, no way he is not a 5 star guy.
I think that it is that national profile. Didnt Brown play on one of the National Teams? 16 & Under maybe? I dont remember, but those rankings are wrong. St. Rita seems to agree with me. Morez is always the last name called during introductions and he gets the biggest applause.

I'd be surprised if most players didn't understand their friends and peers trying to get what they feel they're owed.
Hopefully he buys everyone some donuts to smooth things over. Solid gold donuts

It's all NIL - and when people over promise, the elite athletes are going to transfer or force the bag to drop.

Exactly. It's imperative that we maintain a perfect record on delivering what was promised. We need to be the gold standard on that front.

Just to be clear, am not stating that we need to be the top NIL payer.

I think that’s the biggest deal right there. I think a lot of times people just get caught up in the number itself.

If TT tells somebody 500k, but only delivers 300k, but we tell somebody 250k, and deliver all 250, people at least know they’re gonna get what they’ve been told.

Right. Blowing smoke is gonna catch up with schools. We don't want to be smoke blowers.

do we have systems in place at UIUC to guide players through the tax filing process in the setting of NIL?

could see the government going after NIL athletes as easy targets for tax purposes
