Personally, I think the real benefit hits when the entire country watches them turn into NBA stars. Of course I was disappointed in last season, but Pikiells analaysis is spot on. We were simply way too young, Dylan missed about 5 key games with injuries and unfortunately we missed on adding a few key pieces that could have changed the trajectory of the season.
I'm not banking on them being the future funders of NIL, but if they do get stupid rich, they could contribute. I also see potential corporate sponsors as another avenue that could come as a direct result of Dylan and Ace.
The bottomline is how many other draft picks were really repping their schools. They are both ambassors for Rutgers, and amazing how that comes off. Congrats to both. I see nothing but positives from this point. We need money. But it shows that even without going to a Blue Blood and coming to Rutgers, you could still end up in the top 5.
