Sure, makeup whatever number you feel diminishes him to your liking

LSU will have to pay a fee to his current team Hapoel Tel Aviv. So all of that information you're giving does not apply. This information is being reported by the Euro Media, as well as in the States.

The other players that have been rumored "silent", the money would be somewhat justifiable.
This one, is definitely not.

What part are you refuting, the coach’s statements which aren’t mine or the facts about NIL disclosure? Those are totally separate discussion than the one you presented as a rebuttal.

I find it hard to believe 5 mil on a player like this. Seems bullshite to me
"Madar concluded the EuroLeague season with appearances in 16 games. He recorded averages of 3.1 points, 1.4 assists, and 1.1 rebounds per game."
I realize that those numbers are low since he didn't play that much, so I hope these averages are not a reflection of what we are getting. He did remind me of Dedan Thomas in the game against France, but I don't think Thomas is worth $5M. If we paid him $5M, I think he is stealing.

The facts about NIL disclosure don't apply outside of the US, which means "numbers" like this can be reported by the Euro Media because the school has to buyout a current contract. This is more like soccer than it is football. How the logistics work and the money would be associated is one thing, but this $5 million dollar tag looks to be legit from every source possible.
There's no source on either side that has said it's not true outside of TD.

His actual stats
LINK
The 3.1 points, 1.4 assists, and 1.1 rebounds per game was for the Euroleague in 2025-2026. He also averaged 18% from 3. He did much better in the Israeli league, but that league isn't nearly as good. In the Israeli league last year, he averaged 11.1 points, 3.9 assists, and 3.0 rebounds and 34% from 3. That's comparable to Ron Zipper, who averaged 11.1 points, 0.8 assists, and 2.0 rebounds, and 38% from 3 in 2024 IBSL.

He's a 1 dimensional player. Very creative, knows how to play pick and roll very well, but can't shoot off of the dribble very well at all which limits him, and isn't laterally quick enough to defend most, if not, any SEC guard. He's not explosive at all, and not athletic.
Very mid signing. I really hope it falls through as suspected and we don't pay him. He was drafted by Boston as a project, and he never materialized. Which is why he's stuck in Israel.

You have to remember that programs are not required to disclose NIL to the public or precisely to the NCAA.
Sooo...is your point that people shouldn't overreact to the reported offer even though you don't know if it's true or not?

Overreacting over an unknown is pretty silly

After eye-balling some numbers based on some reports and others are just pure speculation. It looks like we could be sitting around 20-25 million on the roster just based on the ones that have been reported to have an agreement in place or have signed with LSU.
*Some of these have been reported and others are just a rough estimate based on what the other players are getting. Very few have been reported.
Brice Dessert - C 5-7 million
Marcio Santos - C/PF - 1 million?
Mo Dioubate - SF/PF? 1-2 million?
Saliou Niang - SF 7 Million
Abdi Bashir - SG 1-2 million?
Divine Ugochukwu - CG 600k?
Yam Madar - PG 5 million
Oops I forgot it was "reported" on here yesterday we are after Matthew Strazel for 5 million also. Now I'm not sure if that's contingent upon getting Madar or not. The person that said LSU was in on him said Wade wanted someone next to Madar. So, is that for SG or two PGs at 5 million each? Who knows at this point. I do like him, but he is small and thin so I don't know how he would fair.

Especially if it makes Will Wade look silly.
Posted on 5/18/26 at 6:13 pm to tygerphan
Remember the “we’re not going to have anybody on the roster” concern over that unknown. Who’d that make look silly? We’re not the same, I’ve highlighted this fact since NIL started, check the receipts and get some better material.

If he is only avg. 3 points a game, his highlights must be for 50 games. Looks like a pretty good three point player.

I agree that these numbers are most likely inflated, or possibly as another poster said, includes ALL.the money involved; paying the player, paying off the team, etc..
I don't think I'm terribly off base with my speculation that along with firing Woodturd, and hiring every Wade ally known to man to attract him here, that boosters were lined up to sweeten the deal and provide Wade with WHATEVER he needed financially to put a winner on the floor.
Whatever that number may be. 15, 20, 30 million dollars.
I think he's basically said this when asked about how much NIL he's got to work with.

Wasn’t attacking your post just pointing out that’s it’s all speculation for us.
Posted on 5/18/26 at 7:29 pm to Madking
I knew your meaning. I just think it's common sense that along with all the moves made to attract Wade, they also lined up NIL MEGABUCKS to close the deal on his hiring.
The actual amount is unknown.

No doubt there’s a real investment and a plan. He’s got support to execute his vision this time around. Like he said in the interview two weeks ago there are actually basketball people in administrative positions now and it makes a huge difference.
