Portal thread #1

I've been told privately, OU's (player) budget is/was around $1M this last season. I've seen rumors of eye-popping budgets at North Carolina, Kentucky, and a couple of others...I think they all spend more than $4M. It's all murky though. I doubt any coach is going to know every programs' budgets.




“NIL is the single biggest factor in the criteria prospects now use to pick a college,” a coach in the Big East said. “Playing time, style of play, conference affiliation are now clearly second tier criteria.”

“NIL plays a huge role in transfer portal recruiting,” a coach in the SEC said. “Unfortunately, too much in my opinion.”

“I would say, to really compete in the portal/NIL era, as a Power Six school you got to have $1.5 million or more,” a coach in the SEC said.

Furthering that thought, “A full starting five, to be serious, cannot be done for less than $1,000,000,” a Big 12 coach said.

Breaking things down a little further. On average a starting player at a competitive Power Six school can expect to earn six figures from NIL.

“I’d say it’s about $150,000 is an average starter,” a coach in the Big East told me. Another coach in the SEC similarly said, “Probably about $150,000 is the average cost for a starter at a Power Six school.”

A coach in the ACC told me, “It is hard to get a starter at the P6 level for less than $150,000-$200,000.”

“I’m not sure the biggest,” an SEC coach told me. “But I have heard there are a couple of schools that have between $2.5 and $3 million in NIL.”


============================================

Just in case anyone wants to kind of track WBB portal stuff...saw this list.

I can't track it too close, lol. No time for that.

hopefully ou ups its budget this offseason but I think it’s safe to assume the programs spending more NIL now will just up theirs, as well.

For those who don't remember, OU really liked him when he hit the portal from Ball State. Would they circle back? IDK, he didn't do much for the Hoosiers.

Might be a fall back if Garrison doesn’t happen. I’m holding out all hope for Garrison.

Players to know from Day 1 of the College Basketball Transfer Portal — including 2 McDonald's All-Americans

The first 24 hours of the College Basketball Transfer Portal opening saw hundreds of players including former McDonald's All-Americans, four-stars and sleepers looking for new homes. We have the latest news and notes you need to know before the NCAA Tournament gets rolling.
247sports.com 247sports.com



Ranked No. 45 overall coming out of Del City (Okla.) Brandon Garrison didn’t put-up mind-bending numbers during his freshman season in Stillwater, but make no mistake he’s going to end up a real prize for somebody and currently ranks as the Transfer Portal's No. 1 prospect. Now listed at 6-foot-11 and 245 pounds, Garrison averaged 7.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks while starting 29 of 32 games but those who followed the Big 12 closely know he's got the goods; Garrison had 20-point games against Baylor, BYU and West Virginia. Garrison processes the game at a pretty high level, has some touch, is getting more aggressive and there’s a real argument to be made that he has the most long-term upside of anybody who hit the portal so far. It’s still very early, but Kansas and Oklahoma have already been circulating as two schools to keep an eye on.


==================

Maybe one of the most intriguing players to hit the portal thus far is Drexel big man Amari Williams. A native of England, the 6-foot-10, 265-pounder is coming off a season where he averaged 12.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. Through his four years he’s scored over 1,000 points, grabbed over 700 rebounds and blocked nearly 200 shots. Oh by the way, he’s been named the CAA Defensive Player of the Year each of the last three years.

Shockingly, we’ve run across some coaches who have questioned Williams; motor and toughness. Frankly, that makes zero sense given his proven ability on the defensive end and we feel really good about his initial 93 (four-star) rating in the portal. And despite some who faced him trying to downplay his exploits a little, he’s heard from the likes of Arkansas, Boston College, Creighton, Indiana, Miami, Oklahoma, Penn State, St. John’s, South Florida, Texas Tech and many more that we’ve been told have reached out.
