He has heard the reports about Kon Knueppel from Duke practices and realizes his playing time and touches would be limited next year.

Not seeing Arkansas make Dybantsa's list is sort of surprising. As is his cutting U.Conn given that he's originally from Brockton, Mass. and was previously linked with them -- I guess Danny Hurley is walking-the-walk re: not wanting guys who are too focused on NIL.
 
I remember talk of $5M team NIL budgets. Isn't this what the AR boosters promised Calipari?

So then you get into the very practical question of do you want to spend half your budget on one player? Or 30% if budgets double YOY to $10M.. Then the closely related question, how does this make everyone else on the team feel?

I'm 100% ok with not being in the mix for a player with that priority. Have no problem with those players in general, just don't want them at Duke.

I think players like that are also focused on their draft stock so much that they usually end up not being team first players. And if a yet unproven-in-college player wants/gets $3M but top college players that proved themselves gets $1m, the choice is pretty simple.

Including those players that "demand" a certain NIL amount. As mentioned earlier, what does that do to team chemistry? Oh wait, they won't be team-first players anyway.

I hope the Boozer twins choose wisely :cool:

If you think the amount they’re making or offered in NIL doesn’t matter to the Duke guys, or isnt a priority for them. I’m afraid Youre kidding yourself.
