Transfer Kerr Kriisa -> West Virginia

[49r]

Probably gonna be a lot of competition for Kerr, I'd still have WVU as the hands-down favorite to keep him tho.

[fr8-train]

According to Robin Washut, Kerr's NIL deal at WVU is around $600K.  I'm assuming that's over his 2 years of remaining eligibility, but don't know for sure.  Seems like more than we'd have available for him given rumors about our NIL funding challenges.

If those incompetent idiots at the lottery commission would just draw the right numbers sometime, this wouldn't be a problem.  They have to know that I'm supposed to win, but yet they never get it right.   I just can't figure it out.

I really hope so. Pick this kid up now?!? With the team we have constructed?!? Pfft, I will be unable to control the amount Kool aid I will be GUZZLING. 600K seems like a steal for possibly 2 years.

so are we to assume that Joe Toussiant will follow suit then?

Not necessarily if half the reason Toussiant would transfer might be Kriisa taking his minutes.

Josh is one of my best friends here in Nebraska step brother. He is a great guy I dont suspect anyone actually leaves the team. I think the assistants did a lot of the heavy lifting as far as recruiting to come play for Huggins. I am guessing most recruits and transfers will still want to play for the assistants even with Huggins gone. I was secretly hoping Josh would get the interim job and hopefully become the Head Coach later.

And what college kid would abandon a $600,000 NIL for anything substantially less?

Presumably, all the other players have NILs that are correspondingly high too.

. . . and here's guessing that entering the portal may have resulted in a portal-exit NIL bonus on top of what already existed.

By any chance, does Josh have as close of a relationship with his liver as Bob Huggins had?  If so, could you shoot me his address so I can send him an Instacart order for a few cases of beer and a box of garbage bags?

Do you prorate NIL deals when something like this happens? 

[hskr4life]

What kind of benefits are impermissible in the NIL era?

No shit. That was my question. LOL

Possibly because he's an international student

This would completely make sense.

Soooo, if we'd gotten Krissa, we'd have a PG suspended for 9 games, but instead we have Uhlis, who may be suspended for half a season. Is that about it?

That's very optimistic. 

[49r]

Yeah Uhlis may never play another game in the NCAA IMO.  Dunno if NAIA would be an option for him but I would think it's unlikely he'll get cleared by the NCAA.
