Kansas State went 16-17 last season, and was 9-11 in the Big 12. It was reported that Kansas was interested in getting Bashir as well.
OT: Monmouth's Bashir to K-State
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
Kansas State went 16-17 last season, and was 9-11 in the Big 12. It was reported that Kansas was interested in getting Bashir as well.
Kansas State finished 16-17 last year with a top 5 portal spend
Where are the rankings for portal spend? If there's no way of knowing what players are getting, how can we know what schools are paying?
I have a neighbor who goes to most of the Monmouth games and he told me the kids asking price was 750k to 1 million.
just from various articles and podcasts...they spent $2 million alone on Coleman Hawkins and that was put out by multiple sources
likely close to a miillion on former Michigan player Dug McDaniel
Indiana also among top 5 that didnt make tourney

quite honestly if we have the so called 4 million they say we have then we should be offering him and going with a 11 man roster
Most of the reports I've seen have all used nonspecific language like "upwards of", "around", "reportedly", etc. I'd assume it was generally around that figure, especially given his comments, but it's not like an exact figure was ever confirmed.
But extrapolating that out to the whole team spend... and further to how they rank among 300+ schools... is just idle guesswork.
Doesn't matter what last year's record is. Jerome Tang is throwing bags at players to come to K-State.
That doesn’t sound right at all…
Is the stuff published on ON3 complete BS? They list out some of the top NIL valuations that you can see for free and he’s not on there.
There are no real numbers anywhere, agents are leaking phony amounts that are usually much higher then reality hoping to cash in on future signings & coaches are whispering much lower levels trying to keep the market as low as possible. Any numbers you read, regardless of from where, are BS
ON3’s numbers are based on an algorithm that they want you to believe can accurately predict what’s happening in reality. I wouldn’t rely on anything they publish for NIL.
there are literally articles written about it and Hawkins is lamenting it got out
its as if people in this thread want to make up their own narratives instead of what is being reported by top tier multiple basketball sources
i still want to know why posters are arguing that Kansas State was not top 5 in nil last year despite Norlander, Goodman and a host of others staying they were and instead want to argue for the sake of arguing with zero facts of their own to dispute it
its his valuation I believe not including the deal...even though it says its 800K..no he turned down 1.5 million offers...sources confirmed to cbs and fox sports so I will take their word there..there is no reason they would inflate the number after the fact
if it was 800k he would have stayed at illinois
Because it is also based on zero facts.
There are zero official facts about actual nil deals. There are scant news reports about individual player leaks and "a source close to..." or whatever. But nothing anywhere close to approaching a full picture where a ranking of spend could happen.
There are literally hundreds of articles
Then nothing is ever believable
Indiana and Kansas State were 2 of top spends..if you dont believe it its on you
We don't even know officially how much Harper or Bailey got, and they are on our team. And how much of that was Rutgers spending on them, and how much came from other sources.
There is zero way to make an argument about "top 5" in spend with the scarcity of information we have.
The information is out there and there are things such as college hoops reporters who report on this
The plural of anecdote is not data.
There is a small percentage of players out there where a "close to real" number has been reported with some level of validation, and that's usually for big name transfers.
We're guessing at even our own team. Let alone the other 360+
You mentioned Norlander, who here reports on a survey of coaches re: NIL situations... and clearly indicates no one knows and reports shouldn't be trusted
JT Toppin is expected to be paid ~$4 million in NIL earnings at Texas Tech next season, a source tells CBS Sports.
Who are the so called sources????? Anyone can make up a number & be a source, since there is no way to dispute the number, since no one knows
Yup and that one makes complete sense. Total difference maker.
$2M for the 4th scoring option on a K-State team that didn’t make the NCAA tournament does not.
im pretty sure that Norlander and Goodman and Fanta who are players in college sports reporting have good intel
Right sorry. I was pulling up this years stats but even at Illinois he was not worth that. His stats that year offer a glimmer of hope that maybe some of our guys can have one year of good shooting for us like JY did.
Thats all it really was - in 3 of 4 years Hawkins was a terrible FT shooter and bad from 3. Just that one junior year. Shooting is volatile.
