Re: Current State of USU Basketball
I still don’t understand how Great can get paid being from another country.
Sprinkle mentioned a couple times that Great’s family doesn’t have a lot of money and how small their apartment/house was when he went to recruit him in England. I am sure this is playing into his decision as well.
Maybe the collective needs to get creative and do something outside the box to help him and his family out. Maybe that would make a difference.

He could get paid an NIL deal through an English company...or they could just leave a bag of cash on his bed.Elkaggie wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 3:10 pmI still don’t understand how Great can get paid being from another country.

What’s the deal will Dallin Grant? Something must’ve happened, I had high hopes for him…

Here are some of the possibilities of payments to foreign players that have been mentioned by other posters on this board over the past few months.Elkaggie wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 3:10 pmI still don’t understand how Great can get paid being from another country.

- "Bag of money" left on their bed, or other forms of how "untraceable" payments were made to players before paying players in the open became allowed
- Third party pass through, where a trusted friend / family member / business / "charity" receives the payments and they then find ways to pass the money along. Some of this probably looks somewhat similar to money laundering schemes in other areas of life.
With a well established infrastructure and procedures in place for decades that got the money to the right places before NIL came around, I'm not surprised in the slightest that those same systems could be used to get around student visa rules. These are the kinds of things that people refer to when they say that there are ways to get around the student visa rules. Some are obviously more legal than others.
It could be interesting to see what happens *if* someone gets caught and *if* they have to deal with federal law determining the punishment instead of the NCAA though.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
for nigel confidence in shooting and making shots is a lot of playing time!! when you are 0- whatever on 3's but only get to take them one at a time in a game, that doesn't tell me much. now if you are 0-whatever and you play a lot, that's completely different. i'm not sure you can even look at nigel's stats for this year.OrangeCountyAggie wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 2:44 pmHe certainly had confidence in the game against Purdue!aggies22 wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 1:59 pmNigel COMPLETELY lost his confidence this season.

He obviously did not play but only a few times here and did not look great doing so. I would not be hurt if he left but be interesting to see him get a fresh start with a new coaching staff if he could develop into a solid rotational player.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
I'm really surprised by Javon. With Brown done and Hill now not coming you would think he would think he could make a run at the starting pg spot. Can't help but think Coach told him otherwise.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
I’ve seen enough of Jackson Grant to know I don’t want a scholarship used on him. Saw lots more potential out of Burris.
From what I’ve read foreign players NIL money is getting passed through family members to get around the student visa issues.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
Regarding Wynott, I don’t really get why he wouldn’t still have us at or near the top of his list. Maybe Sprinkle offers him a spot at Washington, but a lot of the reasons he committed here in the first place would still be viable/top of mind you would think.
Not to mention his game would likely flourish under Calhoun

Given he’s a big body and has familiarity with the team, it’s hard to imagine Calhoun counseling him out this year given how much turnover there will still be

My guess is that once the 7’3 dude transfers in from Youngstown, the Jackson Grant situation will change. Just a guess though.

22 will have to confirm but this is my interpretation of his possibility levels of staying.
Staying: 90-100%
Very High: 70-89%
Moderate: 50-69%
Medium: 30-49%
Minor: 10-29%
No Chance: 0-9%

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
Tim Miles was on local sports radio today in Minneapolis. He talked about how difficult things are with NIL and how the “have nots” have to focus on young players or international players because otherwise they just can’t compete. He also described the NCAA as a big jenga game and the schools are the blocks. At some point it’s all going to come crashing down and then things will have to be rebuilt. It’s definitely rough.greggers1868 wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 8:56 pmVirginia Tech has been hit hard as well by the portal.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
Obviously Osobor is pretty impossible to replace, withstanding a miracle. But there’s also something to be said about the group and keeping a lot of the group together. Idk but I believe in momentum and the energy continuing from last year, even if the starting 5 looks very different.OrangeCountyAggie wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 9:52 pmJust get Osobor to re-commit.

Pick one of the high school recruits
That’s a pretty good foundation to build on. Also, huge shout out to @aggies22 for this. I took a bit of the forums but I’m so glad to see your posts on a few of these threads. What you do means a lot
I’m really excited about the possibilities of this team. I’m stoked about both templin and Johnson. I’m stoked for Calhoun. Go Aggies!
I’ve also come to believe in all these guys, trying to get to know them, their background, and I believe players can develop. Osobor was a 6th man last year in a lesser conference. Obviously want him, but I’m still very optimistic even without him

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
I'm pretty sure other people have better access to kids decisions than Hoffman does. Ultimately, it's up to the person that gives him the information if he is at liberty to share it or not.signalwar wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 10:08 pmDid you run this past Hoffman? He might get pissed?

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
I think this post confirmed that we went to high school together and took turns playing games on our HP48GX calculators freshman year at USU while the other took notes.josephconlin wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 3:45 pmSo, he should shoot more than one at a time? Here's one option!tipitup wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 3:32 pmfor nigel confidence in shooting and making shots is a lot of playing time!! when you are 0- whatever on 3's but only get to take them one at a time in a game, that doesn't tell me much. now if you are 0-whatever and you play a lot, that's completely different. i'm not sure you can even look at nigel's stats for this year.OrangeCountyAggie wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 2:44 pmHe certainly had confidence in the game against Purdue!aggies22 wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 1:59 pmNigel COMPLETELY lost his confidence this season. Could Coach Calhoun be the guy to coax his potential out of him?Aggie84025 wrote: ↑April 4th, 2024, 1:57 pmWould love to see Josh stay. Assuming Mason and Josh stay that is 3 solid starters to build around. I am perplexed with Nigel. At Idaho he was the Freshman of the year and shot like 40% from 3. He obviously did not play but only a few times here and did not look great doing so. I would not be hurt if he left but be interesting to see him get a fresh start with a new coaching staff if he could develop into a solid rotational player.

Re: Current State of USU Basketball
I’d prefer Calhoun’s 7’3” freshman and Burns over keeping Grant and Burris.
