This NIL stuff is gonna go so far off the rails this off-season. Out of control.
It's not like Gilbert & Lipsey weren't a 2 PG tandem. IMO TJ would probably prefer 2 elite ball handlers on the court. With what we are trying to do on offense, seems like we need 2 guards who can distribute, get downhill to the bucket and make 3's.
Part of positional-less basketball we see today. Some players are:
- 1/2's (Lipsey & Gilbert)
- Others 2/3's (Jones & Heise)
- Others 3/4's. (Momcilovic & Watson)
- Others 4/5's (Jefferson)
Who? Stirtz? Yeah…he won’t be “under recruited” going forward. He’s become a household name this year.
it'll be interesting.
do you follow the coach you've been with since day 1 or do you go and take your $$ for a contender, probably.
For sure. I’d lean toward him staying with McCollum though.
That was quick. Wonder if paring down quickly is a further indicator the part NIL plays in schools a kid looks at.
- Show me the money
- Get to know the coaches
- Get to know the hoops program needs/potential/teammates
- Get to know the school
I am actually really surprised by that list based on his actual bball skills.
Is this surprising when we hear football programs are spending $20M plus on NIL.
It is a messed up system and it's tough to put the toothpaste back in the tube. But I feel like there needs to be guard rails like in professional sport. Does that mean athletes are employees, does that mean a CBA, does that mean sport specific NIL caps or does that mean two student-athlete paths a school can choose from.
It's all about what a coach's system is. Harding gets put down a lot on this board. But for the right system, he's a solid P5 PG. His biggest deficiency to this point is on the defensive end. But that can be said of most Hawkeye players.
My guess is there are a lot of coaches that figure they can get more out of Harding on defense. At worst, he's a solid bench player.
Do we have a lot more basketball NIL than what’s being reported at Iowa? Never really seen any numbers on what we have to spend
Blum’s comment with CW on their blog this week: “I expect Iowa State to be very active in the portal this off-season.” Worth following, and this from the keeper of our NIL funding! Will be interesting to follow.
Iowa will get stupid with NIL this spring as soon as they sign a new coach and will try to make a big splash, just watch.
Maybe but Harding not a difference maker for a legit ncaa type team . Just look at his time on a bottom feeder team in pretty weak conference after the top 4 teams….. which dominated him .
I certainly paused when he said that. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s a good thing or not.
