Mikey 16,466 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 "People are going to be shocked when July 1st hits and they hear about the numbers that are being thrown around for All-American type players from the biggest schools in college basketball. I'm hearing these deals will rival Overtime/G League Ignite type money for top guys." Gee, ya' think? It's a foregone conclusion that top-level football and basketball recruits will be the subject of bidding wars by rich alumni. I know AU will pay for football guys. Not as much as UAT, Texas A&M and so forth, but we can out-bid the Mississippi schools, FSU and similar. I'm just concerned that our big money folks won't pony up what it will take to land a 5* basketball prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll be okay... Seriously though, there is plenty of money, not involved with football, that wants AU basketball to be successful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a moving target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,574 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I'm just glad we're starting to do this stuff on the surface and the excuses/blind eyes stop (hopefully here before anywhere). It's just a slap in the face to our collective intelligence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even think about Apple/Tim Cook. Man, we could really ball if we can figure out how to pivot this to them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
