Robbie Avila and Isaiah Swope commit to St. Louis

[yoda]

All the early predictions were that he'd go straight to Saint Louis & follow his coach, but no confirmation yet.
But Saint Louis cannot possibly tempt Avila with the kind of money/NIL that some other schools can.
Just Google or do a Twitter search & Avila is already linked to several top schools, some of which have the potential
to throw $1 million or more NIL money at desirable players.
He's rumored to already have gotten contacted by Butler, Texas, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois and also rumored to be the perfect foundation
to build upon at Louisville, Arkansas, Kentucky, and even UNC & Duke.
I think the best bet is still SLU but once the real money offers start flowing, I think he might choose IU or U of I.

Yeah, when I saw that $250k number presented, it made me re-think how I feel about kids that leave. If that kind of money is being tossed around, you can't blame a kid for taking it, let alone $1M. That's crazy money for a college kid to be making.

Does he not have a "do not contact" flag on his transfer profile (or whatever it's called)?

When has that ever stopped a P5 school?
They do whatever they want.

Absolutely. They will do whatever they want and whatever they can.

Just a few years ago, you would’ve never believed this was going to happen

Seems like a reasonable fee for Enright.

Not to be that guy...but I certainly would have.

Drake fans sure think so. :roll:

$1 per flop.

 

[basketball nut]

$1 per flop.

Enright thinks he's worth $1000 per flop.
When he gets to the big boys he might get called for flopping on the bench.

 

[bradleyfan124]

$1 per flop.

Lol!!

 

[yoda]

if you google Enright and check all the photos on the internet, you'll see that he seems to spend a whole lot
of time doing this - the guy's gonna dislocate his mandible some day

The top rated player in the portal was Oumar Ballo of Arizona, a skilled 7-footer.
He just committed to Indiana. - https://twitter.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1780301279417237713
College basketball writer Jeff Goodman reports that the asking price in NIL money for Ballo was $1.2 million, though he might have gotten a little less at Indiana - https://twitter.com/GoodmanHoops/status/1780320410065645909

Indiana now ranked the #2 team in landing portal transfers - https://247sports.com/Season/2024-Basketball/TransferTeamRankings/

This is how crazy the NIL/portal connection has become... When Indiana fans heard they could land Oumar Ballo, they were sending direct cash transfers to him through Venmo. Apparently it worked. He committed to Indiana a couple hours ago. - https://twitter.com/CBBcontent/status/1780287499270545516

Yeah this has become a true circus. HOTB should set up live venmo donations from fans, when we get posts about a recruit possibly interested we can all throw money in lol.
