Fland will be drafted in the first round. He’s not going anywhere other than the NBA.
They didn't want to pay Aberdeen, but they are willing to give Boogie 7 mil. I'm not believing this one.
The word is if Fland doesnt stay in the Draft and many think even as a second rounder, Fland will stay in the draft because there will still be some guarantee for a player with that much potential.
7 million is nuts but wouldn’t surprise me if he did end up going back to college for that if true
We all know who is putting out the amount info. It is the agents. They are driving up the prices. Maybe not directly but they have a network of people that are giving out the money info (true or false) to drive up what the player gets. If your job is to represent these kids you are going to make sure they get theirs so you get yours. It has nothing to do with what is deserved or warranted. It has everything to do with get yours before they change the rules. That is all. I would say the best lies are the ones that have 80% proof in them. So if you hear a player like Boogie is getting 7 mil or wants 7 mil, he is probably looking at 5.5 mil or something like that.
No one is paying Fland 7 million to play in college. I can guarantee you that no college player is making that much money.
Fland is staying in the draft. Maybe Florida is pretending like they're willing to pay players after the Abedreen fiasco.
I know what the article says but I honestly still don’t believe he’s making that much money. Since the NIL started a couple years ago no one has provided any proof of what none of these players make. A lot of these stories are put out by players agents. I don’t see how AJ is making that much with Nike and Red Bull then why wouldn’t Phil Knight pay every Oregon player close to that much a year. Or for that matter why isn’t AJ playing for Oregon since that’s Nike’s headquarters. Or heck the way Nike pushes players to Duke why isn’t he playing for Duke and making that much something just doesn’t add up here.
From the mock drafts from 19th to 40.
7M for a 37% FG shooter no way.
Probably 2 players making that or more but both signed a true NIL deal with Reebok.
Acuff and Ament.

$7 mill to play football at QB? Because he won’t sniff half that much money to play CBB ANYWHERE!
I am assuming you didn't read the article because it didn't say Nike and Red Bull paid him that much. It said he made 5 million guaranteed base deal from the NIL collective plus his deals from Nike and Red Bull for a total near 7 million.
I mean, they were willing to pay Aberdeen just not more than they were paying Walter Clayton last year. Can't say I blame them.
