What's up with Ramel Lloyd?

It’s quite puzzling. If Minnesota could keep the best players in just the twin cities, nevermind the rest of the state, they’d finish in the top 1/4 of the new Big Ten most years. Before NIL they were a coach that could recruit away from being a top tier Big Ten program. I don’t know what their NIL is like but it seems to be making it harder for them to keep local talent, so it must not be great. 

According to Patrick Reusse, Payne got North of 500K to go to A&M. Ben’s ENTIRE NIL Budget for the rest of the Roster is in the 340-350 neighborhood.

Boosters aren't going to pay up now because they don't have faith in Johnson. The question is if they'll get involved if Minnesota decides to get serious and hire a big time coach who demands NIL big bucks. 

 

St. John's boosters did and they got Pitino. Now they're going after big portal names.

I'd be fine never seeing another Pee-Pee Pitino....... wieners. Or, as the great @Kent Pavelka would say, JACK WAGON!

Ramel just might not have returned his car, and just maybe hasn’t made his whereabouts known, and  just maybe his dad isn’t cooperating either.  It’s a seedy world these days.

This is upsetting. Hopefully it gets sorted out soon.

For those who have seen the movie Moving, maybe there is some kidding going on.

Has this thread set a record for longest thread for a Nebraska basketball player who never played a minute? Does Roburt Sallie count as a Nebraska basketball player?

Maybe those big names St. John's bought the last season and this season will pan out.

On the other hand, during this past season those big name buys got St. John's,

• fifth place in an eleven team league,
• a rejected offer to the NIT, and
• public criticism by the coach of the players he chose and bought (i.e., the lest-than-stellar results are their fault, not his).
