$7 million for dUKe recruit
- Thread starter mdluk1
- Start date
**** him, we are incorporating and using analytics, we don’t need him, we have a dude rated #357, raw numbers show he will have the same impact.
Man that is a crazy number if true. Sorry way overpriced imo.
Duke is loaded again. Scheyer already has the most talented team in the nation going in to next season. Let's see if he can make it through next season without choking. I have my doubts.
How do people have access to these numbers that aren’t public?
I didn't want him anyway. Would rather take a chance on barrel scrapers with heart.
You know I hate Duke with a passion I really do but at least they have a shot every season something we haven't had in years thanks to that talent they bring in every year...
They're gonna buy every top player with their secret NIL hedge fund. If you like how the Dodgers are ruining baseball, you're gonna love Duke basketball.
The NBA median salary is 5.7m

Yeah choked with Flagg, Boozer and the gang the last few years so I'm totally optimistic he can choke it away again.
And still choke every year
Plus they practice intensely and play over 80 games
Not sure why people have issues with these numbers being reported.
College sports is professional league now (a version) and supply/demand will drive market value.
I say we accept this fact, raise $100M annually and buy the best team available regardless of source whether from Europe, high school or transfers.
The new UK GM should mainly be a capital raise role to fund the “recruiting” engine.
Do I like the above, of course not.
But the professional train has left the station and fighting “player value” in the open market system is a waste of time.

Ill say it again.
Why would any top player, if not projected to be a lottery pick, why would you leave college.
That's top 6-7 pick money next season. If you're projected 8th-10th, you're losing money if that's the going rate for John Greenwell

Not only do they get their pick of recruits they now get their pick of transfer portal players..... We are ****** until we make a coaching change and get serious about basketball again...
He's down to Duke and Illinois but I think this is fake. Can't find anything from a legit source.
It’s obviously fake. A SG that’s not even on draft boards isn’t getting 7M lol
Agents want players to know they got their guy max money. I would do the same if that was my business.
I'm hearing from super secret sources that Duke offered him $7 to $9 million and he took $7 million. Not smart but smarter than Yaxel.
It IS very obviously fake. There are hundreds of these threads.
Bring? BOUGHT. And then they'll cry when the whole thing implodes.
This is what it looks like when you REALLY have $22 million to spend on roster construction 
He was #1 in my portal wish list.
Knew we were a long shot, but still had some hope.

Most of them are garbage but in this case, the OP is a very decent man. He just made a mistake. I doubt he has twitter or he would have seen that it came from a Wisconsin fan with a low follower count.

We need players who play for the name on the front of the jersey. I'd like us to just sign the starting 5 from Paintsville High. They understand the tradition
I think Bobby Bonilla is his financial advisor.
I heard the deal is actually closer to $15 mil per year paid out in bitcoin.
No one is going to out recruit Duke.
It is what it is.
Let’s just hope Scheyer keeps choking.
I’m afraid he’s going to get over the hump though and go on a tear.

If true i think this era of college basketball will be like the steroid era of baseball
Yeah, Mike’s a good dude that has been around forever on the UK boards. Myself, I’d never believe any of the numbers without seeing a check or a contract.
