These kids are being paid for doing NOTHING. They are being paid just to sign with a school/ months before they ever set foot on campus.
I agree it bothers me to. I think the UCAA should take away restrictions on the number of practices that a ambitious coach can have. Put them to work as soon as they get on campus.
Sorry if I sounded like a smarta$$. Wasn't my intent @winin11 . It wasn't that long ago it meant a good deal to me when a kid had 3 years to play two. It was a sign that a kid could be utilized to build the future of the program. But now?
Not here to pick a side but I will add that my frustration with NIL/portal is that it kills a huge % of fandom which comes from off season anticipation. Having Oats is huge IMO because I believe he has the ability to take 8 new kids every year and go get 22 wins. However, if you're a basketball fan can you really get excited outside of Nov-March?
i think these guys are leaning to kansas state.
Yes sir it takes a little getting used to learning who all the players are and what their abilities are every year. l THINK we had 4 players on last years team who played the year before and 1 that was on the team and did not play because of injuries. l think just 3 back that played last year.
Still going on. He just got in last night
Wague is reportedly on campus after a Zoom meeting with Oats. I think there's a high probability we land him now.
He was looking at K State, not the Jayhawks. But you are correct on the possible rationale: we run an NBA-style offense and Oats has a history of developing highly regarded NBA draft choices.
Yea, if you want to make it to the NBA with out waiting three year then Alabama is the place to be. Adding more NBA coaches to the staff should help in future recruiting.
