Which of your former players do you think would have made the most from NIL?
- Thread starter lurkeraspect84
- Start date
You named my top two, Wall and Davis. Although, I bet the KY kids would do really well. Darius Miller is a name that comes to mind. Hawkins. Kentucky fans love Kentucky kids.
Deyna Castellanos. She is a women’s soccer player who was a star from a national title team. Also a dime piece. Had over 1M followers on IG while at FSU. She would have straight raked cash.
Also, Peter Warrick would have had a sweet deal with Dillards or clothing stores.

Every kid would’ve broken the bank to wear a jersey with “Paulus” across the back
Plus miller would have multiple years, where as the OaDs onv only get one go round.
Derek Willis woulda killed too
One positive from this is that hopefully kids will now have ZERO reason to leave school early unless they are a first round draft pick.
I wish this ish woulda have came thru befor carik jones and David Johnson decided to stay in the draft as Johnson is the only one of the two with a chance to be drafted and it will likely be in the 2nd. And being from Louisville, he might have made more with the NIL stuff here than a second round/undrafted nba player, as crazy as that sounds. We have some fans that LOVE the local players. Bitch any time one goes anywhere else, even if we weretn recruiting them we whould have been lol.

How you think Angel would have done? I bet she would have pulled in some serious $
I'd have to imagine Rebecca Manns could have made some serious coin on Only Fans.
Good call Asia Durr as well.
And god help me, the little spitfire with the native american roots. Shoni (blank) she def woukd have killed it.
That does open an interesting door. Can athletes endorse anything? Gambling sites, cannabis, pornography, ed meds. Could get tricky/entertaining
Booker could have opened his own detailing service since so many UK sluts loved licking his car for whatever thrill that gives you 😂
If you go to the other thread, I posted UK's NIL rules, and Gambling, cannabis, adult stuff is strictly prohibited.
Kofi cockburn would kill in herpes commercials 😂 hell he might redshort just so he can NIL one more year with that golden name. Std meds, coffee products. Gold mine.
I wonder if his middle name is dontget
I feel like with such an expansive fanbase, any productive player would do well at UK with the NIL (main reason it scares me so much, like yall need another recruiting advantage)
Guess every big school/blueblood will have the same advantage though.
I just hope this transfer rule isnt here to stay.
The one time transfer rule without sitting is here to stay, if a player transfer more than once, he has to sit a year.
Different schools have different policies. Illinois already came out and said no gambling, cannibis, alcohol, and a few others. BYU said nothing that would break the school honor code.
Deion already trademarked Prime Time while he was in college and this was in the 80s lol. He would have made truck loads of cash repping Soul Glow, jewelry brands, and all kinds of clothing stuff.
Yea gonna be hard to keep me around personally. No offense to yalls strategy bc its been more successful than ours despite the same number of titles*, but I like watching guys grow and develop. I dont like the fact that ive never seen anyone in our backcourt next season play except the few times i watched locke play at florida, and even then i noticed mann and lewis (always confused whether lewis or barnes went to uf and which went to fsu, i think barnes was fsu).
And thats what its gonna be, every team will have a new team every year. There will be zero way for coaches to build mid majors into anything when they are gonna lose their best players every single year.
Idk i guess i dont like change and this is way to much at once for me.
AD could've marketed the hell out of that unibrow. Boogie could've had some cool endorsements too, maybe with a cell phone provider? 😆
Yes, but Battle was adored by the fan base. Liberty never really reached his potential.
Wall for sure, he had his own dance (that he stole but none the less) whens the last time an athlete had thwir own dance???
AD woulda killed to obv bc he was so ridiculously dominant in college.
not quite old enough to remember the rex and mash impacts. I know being white woulda help rex, but also know he had some ruffled feathers about dating black girls so idk if that would have hurt him in that era or not, or if it was even known while he was playing.

Glenn Robinson. #1 pick and the last P6 player to average 30 and 10.
Gonna have to say Zion, and I don't think it's particularly close. His marketability was off the charts. CBS had a special Zion camera during the NCAA Tournament which tracked his every move. I think Zion could have made 8 figures in his one season at Duke.
I know a lot of people might credit ESPN for his hype, being they did talk about him constantly, however, dude had a huge internet following way before he stepped foot on campus. Followers equals crazy money and I wouldn't have been shocked at all if he made 8 figures.
Kris Jenkins, for just 1 year...After hitting the NC buzzer beater his junior year, his senior year would have been crazy.
Yep. He had 1.5 million followers in May of 2018, before his time at Duke even began. His size, athleticism, charm, and humility made him a rare breed. If the NIL rules were in effect three years ago, turning pro might have been a difficult decision for Zion.
People joke that Eric Dickerson took a pay cut when he left SMU, and entered the NFL. I don't think many college athletes could command that type of money, but Zion almost certainly could.
Heard Wenyan Gabriel was the first to be offered a deal to sponsor Oscar Meyer.
Vince carter! Nastiest dunker ive ever seen. Could have made a killing with Dunkin or Oreos
