What’s a pound of bofa worth?

No idea what bofa is, but if it is traded in the market all you have to do is to do a google search for "current spot price for bofa."

Much to my surprise I made a search on bofa and it came up with Bank of America. BofA credit card points are worth $0.01 each. The shares are $40.01 each. 

Need to check the urban dictionary.  (and yes that is where this unhip 55 year old had to find it.)

Interesting that he thanked Coach Schertz and the university. I think a more generic reply of a player with little interest would just be: blessed to receive  an offer from X university.

The description above, states that he efficiently spaces the floor. Akbar is a coaches kid and the spacing  comment makes it sound like he is a coaches kid. It might also be a reason that Schertz gets a hard look by Akbar and his dad. If they appreciate Schertz and his offensive, and think that Akbar will flourish here, then maybe he will give that more weight to that, than other offers he has.

Waheed thanked every head coach and university that he received an offer from.

Good job researching that. I just hope father and son are Schertz fans.

Curious if Bradley has a large NIL stash.  They always seem to be decent, not great but they are the only game in a decent sized town.   

Interesting.  They're after Christian "Mouse" Williams down at Vashon as well.

Trey Williams had his offer refreshed by the new staff, but I haven't seen them do that for Mouse yet.

Edit: This was about SLU, not Bradley.

Zobrist is a legacy at Bradley. His pops played there in the early 90s. The anti-Tatum.

They have a couple really smart guys running it, for sure.

Wardle loves really undersized PGs. Keifer Sykes, Darrell Brown, Duke Deen over the last 12 years or so had great success.

Akbar Waheed, is a nice classic Arabic name, presumably a Wahabi name. The Wahabis were the tribe that supported Ibn Saud in his fight to become the first king of Saudi Arabia after WWI. I was surprised by his name.

Did he even visit?

SLU, Iowa, and FSU offered at the beginning of July. Xavier and BC offered last summer. I believe the earlier offers have the inside track here.
