Offseason thread: recruiting, transfer portal schedule, general discussion

The possible silver lining is that developing Abson and Wilson into P4 NIL contracts and sending Huntley to the NBA should be a good recruiting tool to get some young bigs to come to App. There's got to be one or two DII, DIII or JUCO's that we can propel to P4.

Really strange business model to pay backups at a college that most likely won't make the NBA. Where is all of this extra money coming from, who has millions sitting around to give to NIL?

The United States holds the world's largest population of millionaires, with approximately 23.8 million people possessing a net worth of
million or more in 2024, representing about 10% of American adults. The number of high-net-worth individuals (million) grew by 5.2% in 2024, driven by a strong stock

A million ain’t what it used to be.

It’s a nice write off now that you can donate to NIL through the schools.

High worth individuals got bored with buying homes and cars and now brag about buying players for their alma mater. That is now considered a currency in some "circles" (this word was chosen as the most appropriate for App State). ;)

[biggie]

Some bragging rights have to be part of it for some of the big schools I assume.

Trillion has leaked its way into economic circles. Trillion used to be reserved for the science communities.

A million ain’t what it used to be.

Agreed

Solid post player with 12.3 ppg, 8 rpg, but shooting only 61.3% at the stripe. Only 6’6 but could be a Spillers type player.

Athlete . Raw , huge potential.

[BambooRdApp]

At the current moment, do we have any players that are over 6 ft 8 inches?

[biggie]

[Stonewall]

We are looking for another inside presence, however so is about everyone else. In our tier that’s 6’6 and above.

[WASU 93]

Splitting hairs, but the word "Committed" needs to go away. The new word should be "Aligned". Because, that is the new reality.

The college isn't listed in the 247 database, like our first two commits. I will request it be added along with those two and will list them as soon as I can.
