Not even remotely an insider, but maybe one can subtly confirm this take: I don't think Storr's rumored KU price request would consume the lion's share of our NIL. I think it would be 20-30% of the total, and that's just fine for the top slot.

That's a good one. I've always been a "Pepe" man.

Where do we stand with Robbie Avila is the real question. Need some Larry Nerd on my team.

Even if they don't bring luck you should buy them because those are some sweet kicks.

Agreed. We don't have access to actual numbers, but we have heard from reliable sources that the NIL numbers tossed around the last year or so are exaggerated, sometimes grossly. In Storr's case, TSJ's slot + inflation + exaggerated demand + BS = 1 mil, that's plausible.

When the insiders are asking the questions we expected them to be answering.
He was joking because of how many times the same question has been asked lately…
I love how some on this board are saying we don't need/want AJ Storr, while moaning about a player of Goode's caliber possibly leaving, all the while hoping we win a National Championship.
I was listening to Piper on his radio show and he was saying he had heard our NIL was around 2.5 mil, and Indiana was closer to 5 mil. I thought I had heard from the insiders here we were at the top or close to it for the BIG. Not sure where the truth lies on all these NIL numbers that get thrown around, but trust the staff to maximize what we have.

Cream Abdul-Jabbar would look great in a Flying Illini uniform
We have it if we want it.
What would he look like after 6-8 months with our strength training guys?

WHAT... ABOUT... AJ!?
Last year this thread was all about Bryce Hopkins. This year it’s all about AJ Storr! I’m already envious of this guy and he hasn’t even collected his money bags yet….
