Or if something smells bad in his recruiting.If you want to die😟
AND $500 for good grades!I imagine the school pitches go something like this:
Washington: "we'll offer you $25,000 to come play here!"
UCLA: "we'll offer you $50,000 to come play here!"
Arizona: "we'll offer you $75,000 to come play here!"
.
.
.
Iowa: "we'll give you a Pancheros gift card!!!"
And make you sit out a year!!I imagine the school pitches go something like this:
Washington: "we'll offer you $25,000 to come play here!"

Arizona: "we'll offer you $75,000 to come play here!"

2 questions:Zona and UCLA are barely recruiting him / seriously interested, yet they are still throwing him 75K without question. He listed them to try and leverage out Washington / Iowa. If Gary Barta has a pulse, he’ll do the right thing.
Unfortunately Gary Barta and ‘do the right thing’ rarely fit together.
2 questions:
1. How do you know Zona and UCLA are barely recruiting him?
2. What is Gary Barta supposed to do about it? Isn't it the role of greasy boosters to spearhead a collective? Or has it been the AD's at other schools rounding up the greasy boosters. I genuinely dont know
On your first point, I'm definitely no Barta fan but he's probably not entertaining the conversation because an NIL collective can't be affiliated with the university, correct? Sounds like your donor buddies need to be organizing things on their own.2. We have a plethora of boosters and well-pocketed alumni who are extremely eager to create legal slush funds for NIL opportunities. Unfortunately, Gary doesn't believe in this system (the same one that helped Miami land a stud transfer through 400K booster donation). I've said this before in here, but folks are really underestimating the dollars wanting to be poured out from a variety of avenues. I personally know boosters wanting to donate millions for recruits, but Gary won't even entertain the conversation.
1. Arizona and UCLA already have crowded rosters and can't promise him what Washington and Iowa can from a player-focus perspective. But, they like him enough to throw him a strong NIL package, develop him more, and then give him more reigns in 2023/24. From what I've heard, he isn't interested in that and wants to immediately play big minutes and be a top 2 option. We have a real shot here, but I'm afraid it'll come down to NIL, and we know how that goes.
You're correct that the collectives must be separate and independent from the University, however, the AD/program needs to approve the fund and allow you to operate how you see-fit. Right now, Barta is not allowing that.On your first point, I'm definitely no Barta fan but he's probably not entertaining the conversation because an NIL collective can't be affiliated with the university, correct?

If Kris does indeed return, perhaps.

In order for Iowa to be as competitive as we hope next season, most, if not all, of the following need to occur:
1. Josh O and/or Mulvey have to step up and contribute solid minutes.
2. Bowen and Ulis need to stabilize the point guard position.
3. PMac must elevate his game to the next level.
4. Sandfort has to step up and take over JBo’s role as a 3-pt specialist.
5. Perkins must continue to grow in his role as a scoring threat to complement Kris.
Those are kinda sorta put in order of importance, but if at least 3/5 happen I see Iowa in the NCAA tournament (again, assuming Kris is back). If 4/5 or all come to fruition, Iowa might have a special season.
If true then that's obviously disappointing. Don't understand how Barta still has a job.You're correct that the collectives must be separate and independent from the University, however, the AD/program needs to approve the fund and allow you to operate how you see-fit.

We're more than understanding of the laws and the structure and processes that need to take place.
Lol, no chance
You really think a huge majority of coaches and ad aren't involved? That's naive..On your first point, I'm definitely no Barta fan but he's probably not entertaining the conversation because an NIL collective can't be affiliated with the university, correct?

No, I was just spitballing as to why Barta wasn't entertaining the conversation. Perhaps he wasn't publicly, but is trying to get something going behind closed doors. Not holding my breath on that though considering his public comments, and if what the poster I quoted was saying is true.You really think a huge majority of coaches and ad aren't involved? That's naive..
I can personally tell you with 110% confidence that that isn’t happening. Gary wrongfully believes the NCAA is going to clamp down on all of this and won’t touch a slush fund with a 100ft pole. I know of multiple scenarios where a business / person offered a significant amount of money to attract a number of recruits, all of whom were adamantly turned down. He simply doesn’t believe in nor agree with the current climate. I have many more things I could share about this POS but I’ll digress.No, I was just spitballing as to why Barta wasn't entertaining the conversation.

FWIW Kentucky fans online are saying Iowa has no shot and that they are hearing he is likely UCLA bound.If anybody actually thought this could happen, he called to the report he cut list to those 4 school "fake news".
Iowa bball cannot have nice things.
What's funny about this whole thing is I've been snooping UCLA, Arizona, and Washington's message boards this whole weekend and barely anything has been discussed about him. One UCLA site has been saying they don't see it happening since he would likely not start there and another is saying they don't think they are actively recruiting anyone in the portal to not mess with team chemistry. Arizona is saying they aren't recruiting him. And typical Washington doesn't seem to even seen the report because their board has been a wasteland.FWIW Kentucky fans online are saying Iowa has no shot and that they are hearing he is likely UCLA bound.
Given the current NIL climate and Iowa's recruiting track record, people need to seriously check their expectations about 5 stars signing with Iowa.
I’ve been saying this for years. He needs to go!If true then that's obviously disappointing. Don't understand how Barta still has a job.

I watched him play this morning at the G League Camp--he is likely not on my short list to get a combine invite. Had 4 points on 1-6 shooting and 7 boards.Kentucky's Keion Brooks says he's 'all in' on the NBA Draft' | Zagsblog

What a weird situation. This is what his dad just tweeted this morning:Brooks has told Iowa that he's staying in the draft process.
