  1. Shoe companies will sign future lottery picks. Jalen Green is already considered to be the 2021 #1 pick and would've been the #1 pick this year. I think others probably project Brown to be a top 5-10 pick. These guys get very competitive offers for endorsements because of their status and publicity as a lottery pick. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2887051-report-jalen-green-likely-to-get-7-figure-shoe-contract-after-joining-g-league "According to Nick DePaula of ESPN, the guard will have "several offers" from companies with a contract that will top seven figures per year. He is set to sign with Aaron Goodwin, who negotiated rookie shoe deals with LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Kevin Durant."
  2. Sorry for the poor quality pic, but I don't have this hatchet with me right now, so these are pictures that were sent to me that I have on my computer. This hatchet was the gift given to everyone who bought a ticket for the USMC Birthday Ball last year.
  3. More than he'd make playing for Texas. Plus the potential for a shoe deal and endorsement contracts.
  4. It usually is, but the G-League is creating a "Select Team" that is unaffiliated with an NBA team and is meant to focus on development of young players and will not play a full G-League schedule or be counted in the G-League standings. I posted this on the basketball thread, but x-posting here: Back in 2018, the NBA announced that starting this year, high school graduates would be able to play one year in the G league for $125,000 before being draft eligible instead of going to college: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/18/sports/nba-g-league-one-and-done.html However, that structure was recently revamped in order to convince top players not to go overseas to play professionally before they were draft eligible (ala Lamelo Ball) https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29043828/sources-top-high-school-player-jalen-green-enter-nba-g-league-pathway Jalen Green, one of the top 2020 prospects is expected to make around $500,000 plus will be able to sign shoe and other endorsement deals. They will get placed on a Select Team, probably in SoCal, unaffiliated with a current NBA squad, that will focus on development, mentorship, life-skills, etc and will play against G-league teams (that don't count for G league standings), NBA academy teams, foreign teams, etc. Excerpts: "NBA commissioner Adam Silver and G League president Shareef Abdur-Rahim have worked to eliminate two massive hurdles to convincing players uninterested in college basketball to pass on the lucrative National Basketball League of Australia by providing a massive salary increase and a structure that doesn't include playing full time in the G League." "...yearlong developmental program with G League oversight that will include professional coaching, top prospects and veteran players who will combine training and exhibition competitions against the likes of G League teams, foreign national teams and NBA academies throughout the world, sources said." "The season could include 10 to 12 games against G League teams that wouldn't count in standings, sources said. The primary objective will be assimilation and growth into the NBA on several levels -- from playing to the teaching of life skills. The salary bonus structure in Green's contract, for example, is expected to include financial incentives for games played, completing community events and attending life skills programs coordinated by the G League's oversight of the program, sources said. The NBA's plan is to stock this team with veteran pro players who would be willing to balance mentorship of Green and other prospects with the personal opportunities that might emerge because of the intense NBA scouting exposure that will come with these teams." "Without the restrictions of NCAA amateurism rules, players are free to hire agents, profit from likenesses and pursue marketing deals from sneaker companies worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."

  6. I play on Steam/PC (because I just moved and my XBOX won't be here for another 4-6 weeks). I'm pretty rookie level, just really started to play in the past couple of weeks. Would love to play! Gamertag: DocBoots81
  7. Obviously, this has passed now, but I'll be following in case interest perks up. I recently got restationed and my switch is with my packed shipment, which won't be here for probably another 4-6 weeks.
  8. Don't think I saw this posted. Milroe to play in the UA All American Game
  9. We have a coach who named his kid Maverick.
  10. I mean looking at the 3 coaches he has hired, softball was at #1 in the country, Track and Field was BigXII coach of the year, and he retained the interim tennis coach that won the national championship. I don't think it's fair to say that he doesn't expect championships. But he also has to deal with the finances; $10 million dollars to send Shaka packing at this snapshot in time with everything that's going on would hurt the AD more than it would have otherwise. And as mentioned above, donors probably aren't lining up to pay to fire Shaka when they don't even go to the games regardless.
  11. Yea.... None of this is even close to being correct
  12. Machinator still hasn't returned.
  13. Craig Way makes everything better
  14. According to Google Maps, there's an actual (very) small town two hours south of Chapel Hill that is indeed named Tar Heel, NC.
  15. The one and only Lexi Sun (There was a small contingent wondering if it was time to retire Kate and replace her with Lexi, which thankfully didn't happen)
  16. RGV REPRESENT!!!
  17. Herman's was posted at the bottom of page 1, but it seems to have been deleted from YouTube for some reason.... I'm sure it'll be back up shortly. Here are the coordinators
