Later Coleman

You're preaching to the choir brother.
Seton Hall has been losing out on recruits because of money for 2 decades now. We were better off with it happening under the table. Now it's out in the open for everyone to see how the sausage is made and it's disgusting.
just funny how what Duke and UNC was doing forever with "good players" is now coming to fruition with players who aren't all that .....again RU Derkack NEC player of the year moved up in competittion and no bueno wasn't good enough but took a good paycheck ..... I miss the NCAA not this NBA NCAA
No one here is saying Coleman is a #1 but if the market is determining that as a #2 or #3 he can get 1+ mil that's what he will get no matter how much our staff, admin, or board scoffs.
eh we did well I believe haha, players didn't transfer when their mother woke up with a cold like they do know ..
a shame because someone like "John Allen" or "Andre Sweet" who played well for us stayed on our team didn't even contemplate leaving and ended up Seton Hall University Alumni
The amount of money being thrown at these college players is insane. I have pretty much come to grips that we might never be competitive again. I am still hoping but really having hard time envisioning it. Will be happy to be proven completely wrong. Too many schools out there willing to pay top dollars for average to slightly above average players. Don’t see how we keep up even with increased NIL. Others are still much higher. Even the average players might be so much we can only get a few. Crazy how fast this got out of control.

Can't give too much info. But a highly recruited former BB athlete that has a ND degree who is basically a clean cut white dude like me who is very friendly and well spoken, and many years later has a low paying job with state issued Medicaid insurance. 10k people have walked thru the doors of my business and I honestly have not seen a correlation between your alma mater and financial success.
Personally I feel like 4 yrs at same school gives you the greatest chance of long term success on the court and off the court.
Tae transferred for all the right reasons and I hope he gets that degree.

While I’d like to keep Coleman at a reasonable percentage of our NIL, if he doesn’t return I wouldn’t shed any tears.
As SPK has said, do we want good players from awful teams (like ours last year) or decent players from winning programs?
I would like to have Coleman, but I’d want him to have to work hard to earn his keep. Would he have the passion coming back and could he come to the season with a fresh outlook?
Or is he tainted from the past year?
I sorta got the feeling he coasted the last half of this past season and his heart was somewhere else.

It will be interesting to see how many of these pros (formerly known as student athletes) actually earn a degree when they run out of eligibility.
Note to Agents: include clause in pro’s final contract that he will receive a diploma. (Whether he can put it to good use may be another story).

I’ll bet you miss it, when top ten programs only had to spend $50,000 to $75,000 a year to solve their problems. That doesn’t buy you the tenth guy on the bench anymore.
To me “studs” are very very high level/potential 1st team conference players. I don’t see him ever approaching that level. Guess we’ll see in a few years.
So you think that’s going to be easy to replace a 15 point per game BE scorer? And he’s only a sophomore. We need at least three BE starters. If he stays then you only need two. It’s going to be incredibly difficult to get those two/three guys.
Echoing your point, isn’t it funny that the Fab Five is often cited as a reason why NIL was necessary, yet the Fab Five could never happen today because no single school could afford to pay all of them?
Of course, but it’s all relative. How much are front line PGs and centers getting?
there’s absolutely no chance keeping the program at the high D-1 level is worth it.
We’re talking a 4-5 million dollar payroll just to players in a few years. Another million or two in assistants and staff. Travel costs, arena rents, support staff.
At what point do students and faculty revolt as tuition climbs and climbs out of control.

Don’t understand all the bashing of Coleman . As a freshman he was the 6th man on the NIT. Champions. He will only get better and I feel we will regret not keeping him for many ressons
Not that it matters but Coleman didn’t play in the NIT
I think it's the system that has everyone upset & they re taking their frustration out on Coleman because he's asking for a lot of $.
Is he worth it? I have no idea but why wouldn't he want to try & maximize his earnings. What I do know is that he is a highly skilled player who plays extremely hard & seems very likeable.

cooper flagg is worth more than lots of nba players so are a nunber of college players
You’re worth whatever anyone is willing to pay you. Sometimes we might scratch our heads, but if someone wants to pay Player X $2 million, then Player X is worth $2 million. After the labor is exchanged, we can decide whether that was a good value or not.
Cooper Flagg is worth a gold mine. I imagine his base salary was astronomical and then he’s got such high actual NIL value. The kid is in every commercial, and is the face of college hoops this year. He’s as bankable as Eddie Murphy was in 1980s movies.

Not really he has not proven himself to be a great or even good NBA player yet. There are a lot of kids coming to the NBA with great college credentials and they never ever translate to the NBA. Yes the potential is there. In the NBA it is a business and you get paid on your results and not your college stats.
lofl like guys who skate thru life on their daddys dime ever paid a nickel lofl
You get paid in college for what you do in college or what college coaches think your potential is as a college player. NBA has nothing to do with what a college player is paid.
