There is some wild stuff being posted here, especially about NIL. Whoever said that Iowa is close to 6 figures on Dembele is just flat out wrong. Rutgers is still in it and it is a 2-team race. Iowa is the favorite. The kid is not a 5. And NIL was not the determinant with Chinyelu. NIL is not nearly as pervasive in basketball as football. Kyle Smith is an excellent coach with tremendous international connections going back years at all his stops. Washington State is the 5th best team in their conference and could Dance. It is very difficult to get around the visa issue with kids from Africa and takes months,not days to accomplish. Steve is far more of a relationship than connection guy and that bodes well with Harper.But it is true that Chinyelu could end up as a lottery pick and has an NBA ready game.If it was NIL,it would have been Tennessee. Washington State has minimal NIL money, especially in basketball. The same can be said about Rutgers.
