It?s been one of those two since the get go. Once he entered it was over (for state), regardless of what some would say. Is what it is.

Then we have a good chunk of money for someone else. I hate losing him, but we can't do anything about it.

What's our big board look like?

One of either Melvin Council Jr or Tayton Connerway, Maliq Ewin, Corey Washington, and Sam Walters. Everyone else we're mentioned with are below those 5 guys

The average salary for year one in the NBA is about $1.6 million. NFL for year one is $795K. This is insane with NIL and especially the portal. They are in no way "student athletes". Family bought 8 FB season tickets for consecutive 58th year. If there is not contracts and a salary cap soon, 59 is seriously in doubt.

795k was the minimum salary for a rookie in the nfl in 2024, not the average.

Keyshawn Murphy to Auburn. He will be good for Bruce Pearl and I hate it!

The Iamaleava stuff was the first public crack in the dam for the players. These schools, and donors who are giving the big time money, are about to start realizing they are the ones with all the power in these situations. They are the ones just handing over money with no guarantees. I have a feeling we will look back in 5-10 years at this saga and see that it was the first step towards players being under contract.

Nico put himself in a dumb position by not fulfilling his NIL obligations and UT called him on it. But they only get to look like innocents for a minute. It?s already being floated around that they are willing to pay $4 mill next year to poach someone else?s QB with names on their wishlist like Haynes King and Sam Leavitt being floated around

You think we have a shot at any of these guys?

Yep. Sucks.

[PGHBulldogBG]

I am definitely a bit concerned about next years team now that Murphy is gone. Hubbard, Jones and Warren seem to be the only 3 returning with Kugel, Murphy and Nwoko all gone. I see we have 4 freshman commits in which 3 of them are 4 start players, but it will be tough starting a lot of freshmen. Anyone have a good link where we can see who we landed in the portal?

Has it went up that much since Dak was a rookie? I think his 4th round contract was worth $3 Mil total so that would be more than that for an undrafted free agent.

We'll get one of Council or Connerway. I feel pretty confident that if we pushed Washington he would commit. No clue on the other two.

Yes, it goes up a good bit every year. 2025 minimum is 840k. It's expected to be over a million minimum by 2029.

Murphy to Auburn

I posted earlier..... sucks. Watch him go average 18 and 10 for Pearl.

[NCMSTFAN]

Speaking of that, how do we feel about Jans player development for the next level? Ultimately every College kid wants to play in the NBA. Tolu is our only NBA guy right now (he had 14 points and 8 rebounds the other night with the Pistons) But Tolu was a Howland recruit.

Honestly, Jans's style isn't very conducive to producing NBA players. It appears that his approach this year is to go back to what he's more comfortable with, which is a defense first team that is more opportunistic on offense than prolific.

He won't. He's not going to get a whole lot of touches in their offense. They need a traditional post and he's not that. Which is so funny because him being asked to play the 5 here was one of the reasons he said he was going to get in the portal.

I agree and this can hurt us in recruiting. Every kid wants to play for a coach who puts players in the NBA. Im not sure if Jans has any NBA guys as a Head Coach. He is more of a system coach, not a player development coach. And if he does revert back to defensive first type coach, it's hard to convince top talent to come in and play tough nosed defense as a recruiting pitch. Throwing NIL money at them does help but that money only goes so far and their agents are letting them know that.

[NCMSTFAN]

He won't. He's not going to get a whole lot of touches in their offense. They need a traditional post and he's not that. Which is so funny because him being asked to play the 5 here was one of the reasons he said he was going to get in the portal.

Yea I was a little sarcastic when I said that but I do think Pearl can get more out of Murphy than Jans did if given the minutes.

[EdwardDrayton]

Well we don't ever have to discuss whether Purcell or Jans can get more out of someone else's players. *****

[maroonmania]

Murphy to Auburn

Yep, for apparently north of 2.5 mil. We just can't compete when it's an all out bidding war and that's what football and basketball has become to get top.quality players.
