Who are they even playing against and don’t they still have to get accredited to give the players a high school diploma? I would like to see who they are playing against because it could end up showing more weaknesses in their games then helping them. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.[/url]
I’m pretty disappointed in Kevin Ollie for agreeing to be the “coach.” It’s somewhat similar to what IMG Academy has done but IMG doesn’t come straight out and publicly pay players. When you see articles from IMG grads who were athletes, they basically say you spend 80-85% of your time training, practicing, and playing football or basketball.
Another group tried doing something that was a hybrid of IMG and this Overtime Elite setup and made the mistake of originally hiring Rush Propst to coach their football team.
IMO, Kevin Ollie is doing himself and any kids that go this route a disservice by allowing them to use him and his name/coaching history to give this thing some credibility. With NIL getting ready to be put into place nationally, it will be curious to see if the G League is the group that loses out on talent or this new upstart group.
