Know several kids of divorced parents and the parents figured out that If they just lived with their fiancé and not married that the kids get to count whichever parent they choose for things like reduced lunches, health care, FAFSA filings and such and typically max out government payments.

Don't forget child tax credits, that's real money in your pocket. Unless you make maybe $200-300k+ combined, you are WAY better off not being married in terms of benefits payments. Once you get up to that high range though, then the tax savings outweigh the benefits.

And now back to our regularly scheduled NIL apocalypse coverage...

Seems like he'd announce he was going pro by now?

He's already announced he's going through the draft process while maintaining eligibility. That was right after the season in March. He's not a kid that's going to post some long drawn out Twitter graphic. It's just not who he is.

I agree with this. Maybe Hunter didn't think TJ's offensive system enabled him to work enough on that part of his game. Maybe he wanted a whole different style of play to grow his talents.

Like stated by confirmed ISU sources (CW, Stans, Etc.) Tyrese was perfectly happy/fine with being at Iowa State after the season was over.

What I think caused all of this was the fact that Tyrese stayed in Wisconsin after the Sweet 16, working out with a trainer there, and being around all those he knew before Iowa State (friends/past coaches/"handlers"). After having such a successful season at ISU I am sure he was influenced by those "back home" to go test and "max out" the NIL market. (One of his close HS friends did just that, by transferring to Wisconsin from a smaller school).

I also find it hard to believe (after the season he had) he would not get at least some NIL deals/money from here at ISU. Outside of people buying his shirts/doing cameo small things like that I really do think there would be some Ames/Iowa business that would want to have him and compensate him. That being said I just really hope the information he was given by other on the fact that the "grass is greener" really does pan out for him. I guess we will see.

Ordinarily, yes.
But MechCounty was bragging about the number one basketball board 'on the planet'. Surely, one or two of these college basketball experts would have heard something about the best frosh player in the top league in the country.

Yep - initial post by that NC fan was reasonable, in context of UNC being fairly loaded at guard ... but then re-posted it numerous times each time nastier, went on to call Hunter "mediocre" and acting as if he's some unknown afterthought.

Related, for what it's worth, Hunter is 4th on CBS Sports "Top 20 transfers" list (which is updated as portal evolves). As much as I hate him entering portal, he's an attractive option.

The problem is or was that up until this recent collective grouping that the players had to basically do all the grunt work themselves. Most prefer to just say have somebody come up and do this commercial will pay you five grand you don’t have to go route that stuff out yourself

Don’t forget that Campbell nearly left us too. Had ND offered him, he would have left us in a heartbeat.

Nobody is truly loyal anymore.

Campbell would have taken ND job. And I would not have blamed him.

Hunter had a helluva game against LSU. 7 3-pointers. That game is what is driving this. Plus he is a Freshman. Potential. We don’t know if he will be consistent shooting in the future. We do know he is extremely quick and talented. His size will be an issue going forward. IMO the publicity from that breakout game is what is driving this. Craig Brackens rode his big Kansas game into being a pretty high NBA pick.

Teams like the K states and Oklahoma States of the world will surely put NIL deals in place. These schools aren't blue bloods but they have solid athletic programs. If ISU doesn't play NIL ball these are the programs that will remain competitive and ISU will become a power 5/6 bottom feeder. Might as well join the MAC in that scenario.

JFC what part of CWs tweet about ISU putting together a group for NIL before this all happened did you not read?

Tyrese Hunter - Prohm guy. How many of them are left one year on?
Click to expand...
You’re such a child.

I think it’s been pretty obvious that Hunter was a prohm guy. Luckily TJ was able to keep him for a year before for whatever reason that we don’t know Hunter decides to leave. But at least we got him for a year. It’s funny how you’re trying to make Hunter toxic or something, but he most certainly wasn’t and was a great player on last year‘s team.

Lol, you're the one melting down in every game thread when the other team scores a basket. I rarely even post here anymore.

Took you a day to come up with that? Regardless, I think we’re all thrilled to have you back. it wouldn’t have been the same without you.
