On what basis are you implying there are smooth seas ahead? Last year's (very) late season blossoming and catching fire? Wong and Miller were critical for that; just saying it's going to be a real challenge in my opinion for Coach L to duplicate that magic with this sometimes-sluggish crew...

If you don't think Coach L has some challenges, you are unrealistic. Fortunately, he is up to those tasks and maybe our "talent" can get NIL and NBA off their mind and get with the program sooner rather than later. So far, its been a NO, which doesn't bear huge promise or expectations for some...

There is hope, but besides lack of height and lateral quickness for many, we seem selfish and lazy on defense and rebounds. Too many heroes and too much dribbling/driving on offense contrasts with (Wong&Miller) play-making and teamwork. There IS a reason we are almost 70th in NET, not ranked...

What makes you think there is NIL money for the taking; the football retention situation should be proof of continuing issues. Ever since Ruiz downsized the basketball pot, there hasn't been a lot to compete with the big-pocketed schools as most of our invigorated financial support seems...

Any grads entering portal now are likely looking for substantial playing time and substantial NIL. Neither of those seem to be in huge abundance in current state of Miami affairs.

Hoping hard for Chris Johnson now. Some say shooting guard many say combo guard, on3 says point guard... which we still seem to need... might entice him to choose Miami (I hope)

Trilly is reporting grad students (and late paperwork) are still showing up in portal for awhile, and: also, without NIL-agent or attorney, hearing the NIL payment landscape is a mess. Hunter ****inson is claiming he got less than 100,000 for last season at Michigan. I think we were quite...

Probably an issue for many teams, but y'all remember the whiteboard "Share the Ball" last season. Always annoys me a bit when they say "xyz" led the way with 13 points when he was 4 for 14. For Pack to be a viable PG he's gonna have to share the ball more than he likes, but, eh, I won't mind...

Several usually reliable folks on Twitter late Saturday are saying "expect cool Cane news on Sunday and not just football". I guess being cryptic is part of the landscape. Anyway, sounds a lot like Cleveland for Miami even though a couple say there's still a battle... I guess a last minute...

and the answer is:

Yes, indeed. But other than a couple weeks back saying he "hears Auburn is out of it", what about this post suggests we over Missouri?

There is significant chatter today that for whatever reason, Caleb Love may be revising his commit a month ago to Michigan. Missouri is one of the top schools mentioned, so much so that the chatter is about (their) NIL money, in that it can pay Caleb Love or Cleveland, but not both. If the...

While doing some additional research on NIL-budgets, news and developments, I came across (my 1 free article) at law.com; interesting (LIFW) excerpt: Of course, there was the often repeated LIFW woes, but this right before the Final 4 game was rather complimentary. One surprise to me was that...

Hearing he went Kansas because our own AmherstCane assured him it was a sure-bet there.

Not saying you are wrong (abt Kansas) but I heard the top programs basketball NIL budget was average 2.4 million. And then there's this from April 2023 to put in more perspective.

Seems to be the Wild wild NIL west out there still. I guess no difference than bag days except you have to pay taxes on what you get, since cant hide it. Thinking abt how hiring an agent can affect "testing NBA draft then return" matters. As per above, let's say Player X wants to test Miami...

Auburn ( 1 of 3 "finalists") got a good wing (from UAH) on Friday, and at least a Missouri analyst thinks that leaves just themselves and Miami now, and a decision this coming week. Makes sense, and haven't seen anything more definitive here. Sidenote: said analyst thinks its coming down to...

i meant buzz "before" he signed, but anyway, all good points. Hope things come to fruition again.
