    Spider Collective NIL

    You bring up a good point though - those days of being fully under contract are now over because of transfer portal. You getting a kid for at most 2 years, so really - rolling 2 year deal might be all you need as most transfers will be 1-2 year players.

    Matt Becht - Southern NH Transfer - Visit ~4/13

    Would be an interesting stat if anyone could find it out there. I wonder how many transfers last year move up or down a division (D2 to D1 and then D1 to D2 - and of course include D3) and what the result was. Not to say it can't be done as there have been many success stories both ways - just...

    Spider Collective NIL

    No way Mooney gives up his salary or returns any money. Nor should he. Now - if he wants to make a donation to the NIL (if he is allowed, not even sure) - that would be fine. Lets say he gives them 50K or 100K each year to show his support and in turn, it also could support his team and help...

    Chris Manon - Cornell Transfer - Visit 3/28

    I think Manon is probably past our grasp at this point. Best chance we had was to lock him up early before others had a chance to really recruit him. But with this bigger schools and bigger NIL packages likely coming his way - hard to imagine UR is his final destination.

    Spider Collective NIL

    It just like the arms race there was (and for some still is) to have a huge practice facility, even if you don't need one. UR probably didn't really need one - we don't have any other sports that use our gym, like volleyball - or we don't have an arena that is used by the community for...

    Spider Collective NIL

    Interesting how the schools can't directly fund the NIL Collectives (at this time), but they can market them and ask donors to donate to them.

    Spider Collective NIL

    IF that were possible, that would take a commitment from the school President, Faculty, and Administration to make Athletics the priority at the school - and I don't think UR will jump into those waters.

    Schertz heading to SLU

    I think for someone like Cal he either has to go full transfer portal and forget the HS kids alltogether (maybe take 1-2 a year, and probably not top 20 kids). Or continue with what he has been doing and try to get top HS recruiting class each year. For him - the mix doesn't work, cause like...

    Schertz heading to SLU

    Cal really has not accepted the portal yet. At Kentucky - he was still trying to win with the best freshman. But now at Arkansas - especially this coming year, he might have to work the portal more and maybe change his philosophy. And it might work better for him because every kid knows - if...

    Schertz heading to SLU

    The NIL is like schools poaching coaches. Everyone thinks - our coach won't leave, he will stay. He knows a good thing, but the majority of these moves come down to money. And no - your not going to win every player or coach over with a big time salary or NIL offer, but you that NIL offer...

    Spider Collective NIL

    Isn't this one area we should have an advantage? We have always had the excuse of being the smallest school, high academics, etc. compared to our peers in the A10 - but I have to imagine we have the largest or close to largest endowment in the A10. And I am not saying the endowment is used...

    Spider Collective NIL

    You think anyone in the A10 is getting near 500K? Maybe Holmes at Dayton, and maybe they are trying to give him more to stick around another year?

    Spider Collective NIL

    Silent in terms of we no one oustide of the NIL club has any idea how much money has been raised, who has received money, how much, etc. Which to one of my points - if your looking to transfer to UR, and NIL money is a factor - you may not even know one exists as no noise has been made about...

    Spider Collective NIL

    Its a catch 22 really. With the NIL so silent in the background, hard to tell how much they have raised and if they are really giving any substantial amounts out to make an impact, especially in recruiting or transfer portal. On the flip side, if you make it public or "leak" information on...

    Spider Collective NIL

    Anyone have any information on the Spider Collective NIL and what is has been up to? How much money have they raised? How much have they given out, etc. Or is this still a secret Fight Club situation where the first rule of Spider NIL is not to talk about Spider NIL. Just thinking with the...

    Schertz heading to SLU

    Schools can't contact, but where is that Spider Collective NIL? Reach out to him - offer him 750K to come to UR. Lets make a splash or at least make an effort.

    Ryan Soulis - 2023 Signee

    Is he able to get a redshirt possibly for this past season - given the injuries and limited games he appeared in?

    Jonathan Beagle - Albany Transfer - Commit

    One concern might be his passing. But that is hard to tell without watching a lot of him because some of that might be determined on how Albany used him in their offense. He had high turnovers to assist at Albany, but again - that could be how he was used. I would expect the coaches at this...

    Schertz heading to SLU

    This is probably one slight downside for coaches moving to new jobs as I always thought before, when taking over a new job - you had 2-3 years to get your players in there, set your system, etc. before expectations took effect. BUT now - with the portal and ability to take players with you and...

    Schertz heading to SLU

    In the transfer portal area - he could take whole team with him, and would not be surprised if it happens. His starting 5 is all underclassmen - Juniors and Sophs - so If he can bring 3-4 of them along with him, especially Avila - he is off to a good start.
