commits 4/8/25 https://nikeeyblscholastic.com/sports/mbball/oa/roster/ej-horton/439 Orangeville Academy...prep school in Ontario, Canada that plays in the same top prep league as the likes of Oak Hill Academy, IMG Academy, Montverde Academy...basically the best prep league in the country. from what I can find, he appears to have been the best player on the worst team in the best league...11ppg, 3rpg, 2apg against elite competition. originally from Chicago...awesome to have that potential pipe-line open

Sorry, along with no revenue, you don't get a vote on new members. However, since you asked...we will give you Rice....same credentials as USF (except for investment in athletics).

That's essentially what I was leading to. Could we redirect that (some or all) to NIL for our rotation players. These are definitely expenses that show up on the AD financial statements. I'll admit, some of the accounting and back-and-forth from the university to the AD and then back to the university could definitely use some sunshine. What I've listed is basically direct expenses for a scholarship athlete. There are also indirect costs of the coaching staff's time to work with the players and develop their games. Our fully-loaded annual expense for the basketball coaching staff in FY24 was $1,825,690 or ~$130,00 per player per year. In the past, you hoped to get that investment back when they matured or became upperclassmen and moved into the starting line-up or rotation. Now, if they leave after a year or two, all that development accrues to a different program. Of course if we're bringing in similar transfers then we're the beneficiaries of another coaching staff's investment. We just need to hope they were as good or better than our staff at developing talent.

listed as a commit 4/8/25 https://247sports.com/player/curtis-stinson-jr-46133387/ 6'4" 180lb PG from Western Reserve Academy in Hudson, OH (between Cleveland and Akron). from what I can find online, it looks like he averaged 19.5ppg, 7rpg, 3.5apg for his senior season. his father, Curtis Stinson, was a big-time scoring guard at Iowa State...averaged 19.5ppg his last season with the Cyclones...and then bounced around the G-League and Europe for a decade of pro ball. this looks like a legit big get for us...and imma say speaks a bit to my point earlier about these level of players starting to become more and more available to top mid-major programs. I bet 5 years ago he goes to ISU to sit for a year or two
