I mean holding on to matas is what you need to do in order to build a program like Gerry is saying miller wants to do! You can’t not pay up if u want to build a program that has no foundations to go with if u don’t retain the players. Thomas haugh was developed by Florida but bet he was asking for more money last year so don’t get why we even mention him as an example if we aren’t willing to spend on players we need to build around. If you can’t do that you’ll have nothing to build around is my point. I know players cost money 😂 

 

anyways I’m hearing we have money so I’m not too worried just excited for portal

Wow you were right on the money literally

Texas has money, but there are levels to it. 

Texas doesn't have close to what tier 1's have. Just reality. 

Matas will be double to be here year two. 

"IF" Swain were to come back, he would be dang near double. 

Goosby wasn't cheap out of HS (even though he turned down double+ from BYU and double from Duke)

In a scenario Swain came back (which I am not predicting), that's A LOT tied up by potentially your three best players. 55-60%

I think that's the main difference in tier 1 NIL programs ... that's 33'ish%.
