Individual NIL payment amounts are not disclosed to the public or even the NCAA. You guys who love to throw these numbers around and making assumptions or building narratives off of them might as well be imagining them in a dream.

You can choose to believe what you want, but there have been lots of reports. It’s common sense that the internationals will make much more than they could make as pros, and more than other schools offered.
Per AI: While individual NIL contracts are heavily guarded, recent leaks, reports, and player value trackers show how head coach Will Wade is distributing LSU's $12.5 million roster budget. The current breakdown features historic payouts for international stars, alongside standardized tiers for domestic transfers and high school recruits.

You’re upside down here, you’re the one choosing to believe something. Thats what having faith in unverified things is, belief.
I’ll just give you a couple examples of “reports”. Last season LSU and Duke were reported to have spent the same on NIL for their basketball programs. DJ Thomas’ “reported” NIL deal was bigger than Cam Boozer’s, the #3 pick in the NBA draft. You believe that’s true because it was reported? You believe Michigan paid Underwood $13 million dollars? You believe Yaxel Lendeborg turned down $9 million dollar offers while at UAB to take $3-5 million at Michigan? I’ll give you one more, year before last it was reported by LSU’s biggest media personality that Vanderbilt spent more on NIL than Kansas did for basketball even though national publications had Kansas as the #2 spender in the country. Do you think MM’s reporting was accurate? I’m not saying it isn’t tempting to try and put these puzzle pieces together but it’s futile because we just don’t know the facts.

Yes sir.

Mk your opinion on Reece, please.
Posted on 7/25/26 at 10:52 pm to slutiger5
Has good potential. Speed, mid range and attack ability. Defended well in short spans. Hard to tell if there was more to his game because of the poor coaching.

He got thrown to the wolves and gave lsu a chance more than they should.
Gonna be the only Tex an and m player ever I ever root for. He will be extremely efficient this year. He will attack the paint and dish.
Next topic.
Can cww deal with the sec his first year?

Deal with? Can he compete you mean? Yes, unless we get blindsided by some players being taken away but if we go in with the guys we’re supposed to have we’re going to be in the Tourney and wouldn’t be surprised with a top 5 SEC finish.

I’m rooting for the Kansas state kid. I’m worried he will be defended whole court. He can run off screens but… right now has to run offense. Ugo and santos are perfect but one has to come off the bench.
Expect uk kid and dessert bully once passed half court.

I only worry about his health. If he’s healthy you’re gonna love him. He’s so creative and can score so many different ways. Gym rat type guy. I think Ugo might start, he and Nunez will have to duke it out for the spot but Ugo is bigger and fits Wade’s style a little more. I agree Santos will come off the bench, Niang and Dioubate will be the forwards and they’ll also be fan favorites. I think Bashir, Diou and Niang will be the heartbeat of this team.

Ugo is guard that come sec play might have to be Patrick Beverly on a guard. He strong and fast. Based off film, impossibly to define as a specific guard.
Also… have you seen ar Kansas lol.
Who cares I played against stacked teams too and survived

Yep, big, strong, athletic. Can hit the spot up 3 for sure, can finish. Ball handling is the key for him. Yea, I think Arky is #2 right behind Florida but Cal always has loaded teams, he just isn’t as scary since his recruiting and style have become more guard oriented.

Aight correct me if needed.
Cal has the best or top5 pg in the nation… too fast. 3 big men that are also fast and can shoot. Then my fav player of 25/26 Billy Richmond, also likes ward from UConn. But Billy can play 1-5 if needed. Late 2nd pick both years.

you claimed many times to know mcmahon had adequate funding and that you had posted the numbers here but even after about 8 requests you refused to provide the numbers, eventually conceding they didn't exist.

Just saw a clip a few days ago with CWW saying most of the spots are accounted for and most of the guys are here.

The topic is basketball not you making things up about other posters. Please don’t ruin every thread like this,
Posted on 7/26/26 at 2:22 pm to slutiger5
Nothing to correct you are right. The bigs are Maper Maker, Thon Makers cousin and Makur Maker’s little brother. Mikka Muurinen and Cooper Bowser are the other 2. All have offensive skill. Not sure any of them are physical interior guys though.
