HoosierPal Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 No one on this forum knows the real numbers but our NIL pot has taken a hit with Jimerson, Avila and Swope signings. How many big ticket players can we afford? With the names of two potential recruits floating around this board, it appears we are working on the edges of the pot. Players not high in their previous school's rotations, or not in the rotation at all, won't command six figure NIL packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Speaking of the NIL money: In todays article about Missouri looking at the Memphis AD they mentioned that Fed Ex has given their NIL 25 million. Sure would be nice if one of our corporate giants would step up with anything close to this. Quote pakapablo likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However much money the programs highest givers want to funnel to key players. The only pot is the BVF but the impact players are going to be guys funded directly by names like Chaifetz, Novelly, Bommarito etc. JohnnyJumpUp and thetorch like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOne was on here saying 3-4 Indiana State starters plus Jimerson. We only landed 2 Indiana State guys, so I take that as meaning we'd still have potential NIL funds for the right starting caliber players that the big fish are on board with.

Also, was it a yearly donation of $25m or a one time donation that will have to be spread over several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's announcement of Dotzler kind of goes with the flow of what I am saying. He won't break the bank. Sure there is BVF left but the % already spent on the big three is unknown, except to a very small number of people. NIL has expanded to several facets. You have the Pay for Play pot (pretty much BVF), the Billiken Exchange where you can pretty much do what you want (and which can have a NIL piece in it) and then somewhat associated with that, individual NIL deals such as Jimerson's clothing deal last season and Avila's Chicago White Sox deal, plus the expected googles deal he is reportedly working on. This has been an expensive year for Billiken Sports. You have the Ford and staff buyouts, the salary for Schertz plus his expanded staff, and then the BVF. Individual sponsors going heavy into the Exchange or other avenues are certainly there also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care how the SLU AD budget is being balanced. That is someone else's problem. I want to see fast-paced, team-oriented, winning basketball, and I think that is exactly what we will get.

CenHudDude Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Getting back to transfers: I know nothing about him, but 6’10” forward Yacine Toumi, has entered the portal as a grad transfer from Evansville (is Turnbull his replacement?). I’m sure Coach Schertz is already on him if he thinks this is someone he needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to be efficient on a terrible team. He seems like exactly the type of player HCJS has turned into a stud in the past. Again, big guards that can score, rebound, and pass don’t grow on trees. If Schertz wants him I’m all in. The Valley Sucks and Aquinas like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
