NIL tweet for JQ

Damn going from $500k to $1.5 million. JQ must love the fact that Cal left, looks like it'll get him a huge payday.
Give me more Amari Williams types, and that's good.
I doubt anyone 2 years from now will be willing to pay an incoming freshmen anything near what veteran portal transfers will command.
Pay for performance, not play
Pay for performance, not play
I wonder if that bidding is for the 2-years he has. If so, for someone like him, I'd say "1 mil this year, 1 mil next, you're not getting this upfront just so you can bolt after a season".
that wasnt his 500K upfront, it was 500K of the NIL upfront so it was like at least 1 million for him
I must have missed something. Thought it was announced JQ was going to Louisville?
Hard to believe that kids demanding that much and even harder to believe the schools are willing to pay that much. I hope this NIL comes crashing down one of these days.
Someone tell Jerry we want him so Arkansas can waste 3m on a 12 year old
Just FYI, but he’s a 2 year freshman…..He won’t be 18 by the draft deadline next year.
I'm not paying some unproven in the college game 16 year old a million and a half. That's the case I'm glad we got out of that.
Money best spent somewhere else

And there's a 99.999% chance he will enter the portal after year 1 regardless
He can still transfer out after his first year like everyone else. Likely he does that to restart the bidding.
Wow. That sounds more like real NIL. Would that day truly come?
JQ will have a typical big man athlete first year. He would be worth something his sophomore or junior years, most likely. But, he will jump to the NBA, regardless of his draft position and that money will not have bought much.
The transfers and NIL situation are already out of control and the NCAA has already rolled over and surrendered. It's going to be the wild west and some schools will have to drop sports all together because of all this silly sh--, that's only going to get worse. It's highest bidder wins, no cap, just like musical chairs for players changing schools with no penalties. Ticket prices will be going up and all of this will lead to coaches being replaced every two or three years and the spoiled rotten players will be calling all the shots, it's a sad day for college basketball.
It's a pretty tough pill to swallow, paying an unknown freshman $1,000,000.. without knowing if they will suck or not. Yeah, I'd like to get away from this also. It's one thing to pay for transfers.. but unproven freshman? I'd make a system where if you get x amount of wins and stats, you get y amount of money.. and they'd probably never go for that,
Any school foolish enough to pay that much for a 16-year-old who has never played a second of college basketball deserves whatever crap flows from that.
Even when he was coming to UK I was skeptical of a 16-yr old big man playing in the SEC. I mean Bradshaw and Z got pushed around like rag dolls. If a freshman big is going to have an impact they need a physique like Demarcus Cousins or Bam.
If it was $500k up front then who knows from there. If you get 500 up front and 10k per game that’s up to 900k. So a 1.5 mil deal could be 750k up front (then pay back 500k to “La Familia”) then about 20k per game.
I'd tell the kid and his handlers to go kick rocks.
The kids should get money because they make these schools millions, but idk how you can justify the way things are going right now ... if they want that type of money they need to sign a contract for a certain amount of time and also now since you want grown folk money you have grown folk expectations, if you fail to produce and you dont play well, you ain't getting all that money.
Yeah, I already saw that one. This is a rerun
If JQ goes with Kal, then Z will look even dumber for his decision to follow the guy that already misused him. We already know that Kal will showcase the guys he made promises to.
if Cal was here, we'd be that school
Players now getting paid. Open market bidding. Yet we'll still hear 'student athletes' at times.
I wonder...when these players get into college, which is quite a leap from H.S., and don't perform nearly as expected....how quickly will the fan base (ours and others) turn on them?
Paying for a 'college' player is totally different than the pros. Or is it?

If it's going to be the wild west, it should be the wild west for everyone. Multi-year contracts, big buyouts, incentive based premiums, penalties for early withdrawal. You want big money, you gotta give up more than a promise of your presence for 1 year.
What I saw in the all-star game did not impress me. He will get abused and schooled by older centers and his best days will be like the typical Cal recruits, a few years after leaving for the NBA. I would not pay that kind of $$$ for him at all.
Even further evidence of why coaches like Saban, Wright and K got out.
Dont say freshman, say unproven 16 year old. Can he even drive?
He's been buying players that went nowhere for a long time.
