Carino: Wake-Up Call

[ivyhillparkk1963]

Sure the $$$. He had 2 points versus Alabama, a road win. But if you watch Ole Miss games you see Davis is playing 29-30 minutes. He’s probably the fourth option on offense. He’s in there for defense, hustle plays, keep the ball moving and some rebounding. He’s on the court late. And he’s playing on a top 20 team. Was never going to be a pro. He’s doing very well for himself and his family.

Listen we can argue all day whether he's a pro or not . I'm just saying when you standout with stats you get the attention.
Let me ask before the ncaa tournament in 89 was John Morton even on the NBA draft boards. He played his way to a top 15 pick because he was the man with the stats..

Yup. Wild the takes people have on this stuff. Last I looked, his numbers were still 10/5 and he is getting good minutes, on a good team, for a good coach and at a great place to be a college athlete. Can you imagine what it must be like to be an athlete at a high major sport at a place like Ole Miss?

You also standout by being part of a good team, in a good league, playing in a pro system, doing things you will be asked to do as a pro.

The NBA and other professional organizations aren't stupid. They find kids who have talent. Everywhere. They aren't looking purely at stat lines. Some of the best college basketball players who put up gigantic college stats were blips on the pro radar, and some kids who played roles on good teams end up with good professional options or even in the league.

Bottom line, it’s all about the $: the SEC has the FBall $. They put a QR Code on a scoreboard viewed by 100,000 people, say 20% donate $100 each game over 6 - 7 home games and they have a nice NIL fund. Outside of the SEC/B10/B12 most of the other programs are similarly situated. We just are behind the 8 Ball due to mismanagement.

We’re getting absolutely humiliated..

Pitino is such Slime -he (his lackeys) were negotiating with KR (his Family ) during the Season last Year.

It’s almost like texting a player on another team’s mom and family 100+ times in season to get him to leave…..

Bottom three NIL power conference programs, per Trilly:

Seton Hall, Minnesota, Boston College

We are the worst in the Big East.

At least SH is best at something, even if it’s not good. 😵‍💫

Do we have 1000 who would donate? Doubt it. Alligator arms and caustic tongues are what are here.

Dre could have been a standout here (although not having someone who could reliably get him the ball where he likes it would have been a problem) but few would have cared if we were a 10 or 11 win team that went out on Wednesday in the Big East Tournament.

At Mississippi, he moved down a peg or two in the pecking order but he has a chance to play in the second weekend of the NCAAs.

BTW, remember all of this next year when Coleman is elsewhere and his numbers drop because he's no longer the best player on a bad team.

That was not the message I am trying to communicate. Those schools promote their NIL. We need to do better. An obvious understatement.

Look at the Onward committee, most have other employment commitments and, while doing their best, and not as a criticism, are essentially volunteering toward an effort that should have a fully funded and dedicated staff. The school can and must do more. Every game should be an opportunity to pick up money, create a data base and cultivate potential NIL donors.

how would you monetize every game this season?

Didn't you so the same with TT?

And probably with KR the first time, too. Just didn’t get caught like we did with TT.

Pretty good chance every school does this.
