Watch him commit to us after getting paid a ton in NIL and be terrible for us.

There's no outcome that would allow me to love NIL. This whole situation.... there's nothing good about it, whether he comes here or not. This was not the intent of NIL, but it's what college basketball has grown into. It's sad, but it's how the game is played now, I suppose.

I agree.

As much as I am attracted to IL FB/BB, I am equally repulsed because of NIL stories.

The data points are too small, but reactions from a few other B10 alums I am in touch with, are the same.

To be fair, with this recruitment, you can't rule anything out.

Like how do we know if the staff isn't getting played again like before?
Yeah, but this was just commenting on the "be terrible for us" part of the post. But heck, IF getting RayJ helps get Shannon and Hawkins back, we can sort all of it out later.

EDIT: And can't forget.......

The money is one thing but add in the change in the transfer rules and it all really sucks. College players have more freedom than the pros.

Just out of curiosity, do any of the insiders know if TSJ or Hawk have a preference of which point guard the staff brings in? It has been well stated if Ray J goes elsewhere that there are backup plans in place that both have approved. Maybe this explains the heavy push for Ray J.
