With Spears Jr. ... he is making a fair # in year one from what I hear. This wasn't a bargain recruitment for Texas. That was Austin Goosby who took half of what BYU was offering to be at Texas. But t

Seems like we have good reason to have a thread to chat on all summer and through the season.    Team workouts begin June 1, I believe

Hey @Gerry Hamilton. Kobe Bryant is widely considered the best point-of-attack and perimeter defender in NBA history, earning 9 NBA All-Defensive First Team selections and 3 Second Team selections (12 total) for his elite defense. He locked down players as diverse as Allen Iverson and Jason Kidd to Tracy McCrady and LeBron James.

Gerry it feels like a lot of the HS recruiting now is much more focused on NIL & early PT. I know you’ve outlined some of the OVers this fall but given this team has a lot of potential for returning guys after the season do you think there’s a specific position or type of guy they’re looking to get locked in from HS or is it still very fluid?

We shall see ... he appeared on an NBA summer league roster for the Nuggets, and played.

What will the SEC say on that 

That gets back to the argument about the NCAA telling the seniors they would not get the fifth year. What is a player supposed to do? He's going to look into the pros, not sit back and think, hey, maybe the NCAA might change its mind.

It's also murky because players used to not get paid, and now they do. What is a pro? In college, it's certainly not a player getting a rev share, right? But *now* the SEC/B1G would crack down on players who got paid by NBA teams in the summer, or expenses?  

I don't think the details have been worked out on this at all.

It's quite amusing to watch various fan bases come up with reasons why the contract their guy signed or the roster list he appeared on aren't really contracts or real roster lists.
