Edey is Canadian. Don't think he can make NIL.
Apparently Purdue will play a game in Toronto next season to give Edey a chance to make something.
I am assuming no news is good news about Ray J's visit to Baylor?

I believe he was born with clubfoot- most people with that condition do not play sports at all, let alone reach an elite level of athletic competition
Correct. It’s quite the story of overcoming obstacles.

Purdue will have anyone shooting for a law degree working on that scenario
Could he work on his right hand, sure, but how many players have we ever had or have you seen in college basketball that had nothing to work on. I know, I know…your son DGL will be that player.
100%. Damone wouldn’t even take himself over Frank.

They're all average to above average 3 pt shooters.
Also both Domask and Harmon were the top option and shooting off the dribble 3s. I think the thought process is that both could end up shooting better getting more shots in rhythm versus having to create their own because they are "the guy".
Even if they don't improve just shooting what they did last year is a huge improvement. Goode shot 42% in limited action but Domask would have been 2nd, Quincy 3rd, and Harmon 4th at 3 pt shooting. If RayJ comes he would slot in ahead of Domask.
It would be adding a bunch of guys that are capable of shooting even if they aren't standouts.
Good points. When you look at the scoring from last year, losing that team-leading 17+ ppg is very painful and hard to replace. Absolutely a baller.

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
Just got a couple bits of info from a group text I have with James Naismith and John Wooden. They said everything is looking good and to expect the Illinois roster to shape up nicely real soon.
Let’s figure 2 years and be happy with 1 year...
Okay, I believe in our Insiders and that they via staff are supremely confident in RayJ. So I will be too.
I still have a question though. If I read Indy correctly, Self & KU got burned and actually creaned somebody for a player who ended up not going there. What do you do if Muck or another school offers a BIGGER BAG? This is the wild west now. You can't complain to the NCAA, there really aren't really any rules anymore. I realize promises have been made, but these are still kids with hangers on and the BIGGEST BAG is usually going to win. Do we have unlimited NIL $$$?

Didn’t see this posted here, nothing new, just confirming what we’ve been told here.
RayJ’s visits feel like speed dating.
Almost done….Coming back for one more visit and we should know soon after.
My first thought on this was it was perfunctory. But with NIL maybe the "experience " of the campus is a minor factor now.
"There also doesn't appear to be a real backup plan should Illinois' top point guard priority wind up in Bloomington, Ind., Waco, Texas, or some other corner of the college basketball world instead."
