That was a marvelous article, indeed! Besides describing his basketball bona fides, the interview component underscored JDub as an insightful, thoughtful and level-headed young man. Thanks for sharing.

Jalen wins it all with the Thunder as the bona fide second option in just his 3rd year. Amazing, honestly, and perhaps worthy of finally replacing that enormous Nash banner in Leavey with a more modestly sized celebration of Jalen’s (and potentially Podz’s) accolades.

Speaking on NIL, there was an article about Texas Tech who will spend a total of $55 Mil this season for Football and Basketball. Their two returning MBB stars will get about $ 3-4 million each.

I saw the reporting on Texas Tech. The new NIL Clearinghouse is already rejecting post-settlement NIL deals. They’ll get sued, and it may not hold legal antitrust scrutiny, but they’re trying something at least. Still almost certainly going to need Congress to intervene.
