I would also think Gibson would be a huge get for the right team. I don’t know how much money we will have, but Troy did state that BVF would have all the money they need in less than a month now. I just take his word for it it, assume that is why they don’t have a website we’re regular fans can just click a link and donate to the cause like Dayton does. Guess they don’t need that money.

He works for a guy that can change his professional life post basketball. His pay next year may not be as much as a power 5 could offer, but it’s one year. Stay at SLU and break the NCAA assist record in front of your family and your boss. Then go play pro ball with a career waiting at Chaifetz Group. Leave for another school and that all goes away. Maybe it was a multi year deal he negotiated… Billiken Rich likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlarry Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 If they can pay Jimerson and Collins enough to come back I hope they have plenty more to bring in some newcomers. I don’t want them coming back for an NIT run I want them coming back for a sweet 16 run. Don’t spend like the Cardinals spend like the Mets!

HoosierPal Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 The VCU Roster page has direct links to each player through the INFLCR website. This is the site to direct NIL opportunities ($$) towards an individual player. Troy R mentioned this on his interviews that SLU has this also. I don't know how to get there. I assume that will be standard for each roster page moving forward. https://vcuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect him to go somewhere that he expects to make the tournament. That is not the Billikens next year. Jimerson can be kept, he has time still. Yuri is out of time. Jimerson is going to have more P5 interest due to his height and shooting ability. Someone mention THJ and THJ would only leave here to go to SIUE or Lindenwood, where the road games are closer and thus his mom could be at more games. Basically THJ ain't leaving his friends & family. Expect him back until he finishes out. Hargrove is the type of guy I could see "post-basketball" as he may take a day job due to not wanting to move overseas. The rest is ludicrous and these guys not only want but need tournament appearances to increase their stock and possibly hit the G LEAGUE rosters a la Goodwin.

Taj79 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Well, someone got their hands slapped for a NIL violation. The Miami women are 18 and 11 this year and the one twin, Haley is their leading scorer at 12.8 ppg. Hannah, the other twin, has played in 28 of 29 games and averages 4.1 ppg. Miami got slapped because it "urged a meeting between a wealthy alum (Ruiz) and tweo players who transferred to the school (the Cavinders)." https://www.espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/35727606/ncaa-sanctions-miami-women-hoop-nil-related-infraction Isn't this the same thing that's happening across the country? Didn't Ruiz give Nigel Pack $200k to transfer from KState to Miami? Was Kendric Davis 'enticed' to move from SMU to Memphis? Council at Arkansas? The Mitchell twins also at Arkansas? Shannon at Illinois? Smith at Gonzaga? Don't know --- just asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy II Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 -if a player is choosing to be honored at Senior Night I will stay and applaud to thank them for their contribution -as to who is on the roster in the fall, these players are in a different place than JPerk was a year ago, I'm guessing they are gone but 'stuff' happens all of the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you talking about? Collins and Jimerson are in the same class, but one of them is out of time? Jimerson has more upside because he’s taller? Plenty of players in the league never played in the tournament. Nobody knows what Hargrove is going to do yet, but hey, I do agree our players want to play in the ncaa tournament. But they don’t “need to” for their pro prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it would raise his awareness among the public - but that has nothing to do with his pro prospects. After all this time, scouts have a good idea of whether or not they project him as an NBA player. I don't expect him to return, but if he goes to another school, I think it will be more about getting a more lucrative NIL deal combined with feedback he's getting from scouts that he is not NBA material. Because IF he is a potential NBA player, he would likely take his shot after this year. He doesn't need another year of college for that.

What’s more interesting is where the booster, Ruiz said he’s not going to change what he does and doesn’t believe that anything the NCAA might try to do to him in the future will stand up against the lawsuit he would bring down on them in response. Begging them to try if they dare. Doesn’t sound like the new NCAA enforcement policy is generating any fear, does it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
