And this is why you have players staying in school for ever. RJ davis will never see that type of bread again.




Basketball players continue to dominate name, image and likeness deals, with North Carolina's RJ Davis and USC's JuJu Watkins leading all male and female athletes in endorsements over the past 12 months, according to a new report from sponsorship data company SponsorUnited.

Davis leads all male athletes with 25 NIL deals, while Arizona punter Cash Peterman has 21, followed by 2024 Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter with 19. Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers and LSU basketball player Trace Young have 17 deals each.

Among female athletes, Watkins has 20 NIL deals, according to the report. The University of Miami's Haley and Hanna Cavinder have 18 combined, while UConn's Paige Bueckers and Oregon's Deja Kelly have 16 deals each. LSU's Flau'jae Johnson has 15 deals.

I think we're out on Yaxel with getting Hall. Not sure how we can afford to throw big money at Flory AND Yaxel, and I'm not sure how you make Denver, CBM, Yaxel, and Hall work in your 2-4. Sucks but the kid probably will test well in the Combine and end up leaving for the draft for whoever gets him anyway. It's always hard to know how much to put in those transfer guys that are fringe first round talents and are only looking at a school as insurance in case things fall apart

Scheyer proving it now that nobody really hated Duke. They hated K. The hate for the kids came later with abundant success but the Blue Devil himself was the real target all along.

They really need to keep the portal closed til after the championship game.

It's a guarantee that some of the F4 teams will lose players to the portal, and they're at a disadvantage b/c teams that lost weeks ago are already out signing players.

How Nike let cooper Flagg slip out their grasp? To new balance of all spots damn Nike really don’t got it no more
New Balance is legit more popular with the youth rn than nike. Plus NB probably offered more.

Also:

"Flagg joins a New Balance brand tied closely to his home state, including a Skowhegan, Maine, manufacturing factory that is 25 miles from his childhood home in Newport.

"The connection with New Balance as a family company and a company with Maine roots means a lot to me," Flagg told ESPN. "That makes this really different and special. My mom used to go to the tent sale for back-to-school shopping there when we were kids. That really aligns the brand with my roots. It's a perfect fit.""

fukk this guy

I liked his game at WI but he's regressed. This will be his 8th school in 8 years going back to HS if I'm not mistaken

I'll say it again, KU will be better next year with cancers like Storr and Hunter fakkitsin off the team. Storr has gotten worse and Hunter is an empty stats non-winner
