Two chances, Slim and none, and Slim now lives in Dusseldorf. Old guy likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreign players can’t earn NIL money. They are here on student visas. If they started collecting NIL money they could be deported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The American kids making big money while the foreigners not being allowed to make any sounds like a recipe for an unhappy locker room.

First one being a company in their native country paying them - obviously a bit hard to figure out logistically. The other is through the coach's camps. Those qualify as on campus work and the hour limits of F1 visas aren't there during the summer time. brianstl likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUBillsFan Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 This rando Southern Miss fan seems to think Haase is headed there: Absolutely zero buzz around Haase outside of this. If it is true he is heading to So. Miss that's pretty disappointing. So. Miss has been terrible the past couple years and is projected to be really bad again. They are in C-USA which is worse than the A-10. Their frontcourt is bit more crowded with Guitian and a couple 6-8 forwards returning, but Haase would pretty easily be their best player & get major minutes. The only clear advantage So. Miss has is fellow Mercer transfer Alvarez will be there. Otherwise it is a backwards or sideways at best move from Mercer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today it is much more than just what conference the school is in or how good/bad they will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
