He has improved his body. He’s gotten better every year. “Last year, he suffered from the 3-point line (19.5 percent), but who on our team didn’t? He’s a guy who needs to make more than one a game at a good rate to get into the NBA conversation. But I think he can do that.”

Well, I've heard different.Not sure what would have changed Nike's mind over the past three years that would change their bid from sub-one million a year to 7 or 8 million a year. I've heard that Mr. Eichorst is shooting for Wisconsin's new UA contract type numbers. Both of these statements are probably accurate...they don't necessarily contradict each other.

I'm betting he is the best athlete to come from Gothenburg since the Novacek boys

I've heard that Mr. Eichorst is shooting for Wisconsin's new UA contract type numbers. for starters, nike's stock price has doubled since they made the previous offer.also, having a niketown a block away from the stadium might be an incentive for Nike to pony up the $. Well if I recall from you're previous posts you're not a fan of the brand with three stripes. So, I think you're really hoping for that company to move along from the university. Which, to each their own, but I just don't think Nike is interested. From what I've been hearing the three stripes has some fun things planned for the prolific basketeers this season. But to some people it doesn't matter. If there's not a swoosh, it's not cool.
