Anquan Boldin Jr. - 2025 Transfer Visit

[SFspidur]

Has averaged about 7 ppg in his two years at Buffalo. Only shot 22.4% from deep this past season after shooting 34.7% his first year.

Coming in for a visit a week from today sandwiched between visits to Rider and McNeese.

Does his dad still have eligibility?

He did only play three seasons at FSU...missed his junior year with a knee injury. Package deal!

 

[SpiderLaw]

Seems to have some similarities with Tyne

 

[GoSpiders324]

Looks very athletic, listed at 6'4, so he could maybe play that Dji big guard position. He gets to the rim often and finishes through contact. It looks like he could potentially be a nice tough glue guy for us. Also, I would imagine that he is at least a solid defender.

Mooney will overlook a lot as long as you have multiple years of eligibility.

Just don’t let him shoot 3s. Not sure where he would fit in on a successful Richmond team.

 

[Eight Legger]

I remember him when Buffalo came here a couple years ago. Can't recall what kind of defender he was, but I do remember him being pretty physical.

At wide receiver?

 

[SFspidur]

No idea if this has any impact on things with us...

Lol. Slow your roll big guy. You were a very average basketball player on a very bad mid major team next year. You take whatever NIL you can get, which probably isn't much. The ego of some of these players is simply astounding.

Well I think we can now close this thread

 

[spiderman]

I can't believe there are agencies for this stuff. Wonder what their cut is.
Feel like if I had a kid going through this we'd visit, ask what the NIL offer is, compare it to other offers, and pick where he likes. I don't think I'd need an agency for that.

 

[spider23]

Sounds logical sman. Wondering if the presumption he wants more money could be incorrect for Anquan Jr? I mean the agent will obviously be on the lookout for highest portal payout. Maybe the player just wants best opportunity to play.

 

[SFspidur]

Maybe his vision and goals are of the sensible kind and he's a perfect fit for us.

Agree for the most part. The agencies may come in handy for the very top NIL prospects dealing with the millions where the payout can differ between 2 or 2.5 million, for instance, depending on the university and role that the player can have there. At the level Boldin is at, I can’t imagine he is going to get much higher than in the low 6 figures… if that. So I don’t see the need of an agent in this case. Being too greedy with NIL can backfire. See the case of the Tennessee QB who wanted $4 million and was dropped by the team. Also, doesn’t exactly make the best first impression of programs wanting to see if someone is the right fit for the team.

possible I guess ... but he did say "to pursue NIL opportunities that align with my vision and goals".
if you're just looking for the right fit, don't talk about NIL.

 

[urfan1]

They are pro athletes now,

 

[Eight Legger]

I don't think he'll have many better opportunities than us, if we want him. Pay him $50k and get his dad to be our basketball GM for a year.

 

[kneepadmckinney]

I don't think we need a guard. I think the 4th guard has to be filled by a frosh -- best one of the three gets the PT.

Dude was an absolute dog on the grid iron. I remember when he filled in at QB for FSU in the Sugar Bowl and deliverd an absolute bomb to his wide open WR who dropped a sure TD pass. So angry when Washington passed on him in the draft.
