Would those NIL deals travel? Only closeby program I see is Illinois.

The state of Iowa permits High School athletes to enter into NIL agreements and still considers them eligible to participate in High School athletics. Divine has entered into a contract with a Management Firm to represent her, in her NIL agreements. I would think her deals would follow her and get larger.

I don't think that NIL potential is always the deciding factor in selecting a school.

Need a dominate big.

Sic'em

Thank you. Re NIL - Certainly not in all but in many top players. NIL and top 5 programs get their disproportionate number. We've lost top players to NIL but certainly some top players also use other criteria like relationships/play style/ coaching/ geography etc.

Wish you would post more. Have you attended any practices? Thoughts on new players?

Aliyah Crump is out. Looks like Tx Duke and Ohio St final 3.

I have read NIL will be important factor in Divine's final decision. We are going up against elite recruiting of SC and LSU. Is our WBB NIL competitive against SC and LSU? I don't keep up with our WBB NIL. I'm very surprised she didn't have Iowa and Iowa State in her final list.

I seen that as well. I also think players Need to look at roster depth. Hopefully some of these recruits look at playing time . We have six seniors.

Do you mind sharing where you read that?

I apologize, Bourrage name is in the article as well but Johnson is the one that directly said Nil will be a big factor.

Thank you!

I know how needed this is to compete and Aranda is proving that currently ( wouldn't have even been in the discussion for our top commit and target now without much improved NIL) but it still makes me sad.

Mia and Mya Pauldo were the youngest athletes to sign an NIL deal with Puma at just 15 years old.

Now, the Pauldo Twins are on the verge of their commitments — and they don’t shy away from the fact that NIL will play a big role. https://t.co/tfaGI7RuDQ pic.twitter.com/ecTpvAU8HW

The Pauldo twins just committed today to Tennessee.

Puma already has an NIL deal with the twins, that deal would have gone with the girls anywhere.

NIL like that is well deserved and good for them. It's pay for play NIL that I'm not crazy about but it is a necessary component in many or most top players.

Shes a talented player, i really hope we are going after her hard, to get her away from her home town Illinois

Me too! Would be nice to have a combo of Destiny and Divine or Keeley in the backcourt. Pair them with an established older guard or 2 from the portal. Do wish she was a little taller though although we have learned small guards like Sarah or Jada can be very effective in this offense as long as we have reasonable size at other positions.

I also really like McKenzie Mathurin as an off guard, good size strong and absorbs contact, good shooter and can drive and really strong spring season this year.

Pairing her with Destiny or someone like Jaida Civil ( great size) would be fantastic despite rankings

Can finish and pass either hand.

I really like her game. She popped up when she played head to head vs. Aliyah Chavez this spring in an EYBL game and scored 35 vs 36 for Aliyah. Good assortment of drives and outside shooting.

Love her game. She would be a great fit here. Any idea if we are in the running to get her to commit to Baylor?

I know we are pursuing her hard.

Bad news. I just don't understand the draw to TCU.

Top-25 recruit Ayla McDowell is starting to narrow down the programs involved in her recruitment and has set four upcoming official visits, she told @On3sports.

• LSU
• TCU
• Georgia Tech
• Mississippi Statehttps://t.co/oGBVBLM4Hh pic.twitter.com/7qXjVeud65
