Things that are generally true about building CBB rosters: - Retention is cheaper than replacement through portal (and less risky?) - A HS player (especially early) is cheaper than a transfer - New relationships (GM/coach & agent) have an upcharge that trust can cover later

Things that can get you a discount: Relationships and Results. Relationships: They go a long way on retention and when making up small gaps in NIL offers. Trust is HUGE. Results: If you can show development and proven long-term success, you don't have to be the highest offer.

All of that to say: Yes, I absolutely believe the "Duke Discount" exists. Because we weren't the highest bidder for a single player we signed when I was at Kentucky. If you can show that pathway to NBA success and have dozens of players endorsing you, discounts are doable.

NEWS: Maryland basketball has added Kareem Watkins to their coaching staff as a graduate assistant. Watkins, a New Jersey native, played five seasons under John Calipari (four at Kentucky and one at Arkansas). He’s a former teammate of current Maryland guard DJ Wagner.

Since I have a phd in Calipari, I’ll translate: 1. The most anti-PCSA people are agents and lawyers. Why? 2. They say “what about coaches” but the players make more than nearly all coaches already - individually and collectively. 3. That gap increases under PCSA. Continued…

"I'm gonna say this, I probably shouldn't: nine of my players make more than my assistants. And the other three make more than all my staff, and we are not one of the highest payers..." John Calipari continuing his support for Protect College Sports Act while dishing out some interesting facts on his roster. #WPS Full 35-minute presser: nwahomepage.com/sports/watch…

4. I’m an outlier because I’ve been doing this 40 years and have been great at my job. 5. So why do the agents and lawyers keep saying “what about the coaches” if it’s not true? (Implying the PCSA has capped agent fees.) That’s my translation.

Chad had the biggest, kindest heart and you always felt better when you were in his presence. The true definition of “a light” in an often dark world. RIP, my brother. 💔

Chad LOVED the Cats. Would come to all of our games at Vandy and during the SEC Tournament. Usually made it to Rupp at least once. Came to Cal’s radio show. When I moved to North Carolina, I tried to recruit him by offering gear and tickets. But he couldn’t be bought. 🤣🤣🤣

With all due respect, there are a lot of you in Kentucky who should be thankful this morning that @Bradley_B_Roll, @MarkKrebsJr and I aren’t doing KSTV anymore.

I think the proponents of the Protect College Sports Act have spent too little time promoting the retention fund, which would allow schools to pay up to $27.5 million in additional money to retain athletes.

The more money that comes directly from the institution, the better it is for the athletes. That's the only truly "guaranteed" NIL money. (And I think fans would be VERY surprised if they knew how often people tried to get out of paying that "other" money that was committed)

Carson-Newman (D2) transfer Jack Browder has committed to Campbell, he tells @247Sports. Averaged 25 points and 9.6 rebounds last season.

I'm not a lawyer, but nearly everyone I spoke last night and this morning expects conference restrictions to stand because it's not NCAA-wide. "It's like the SEC enacted specific academic requirements for schools to meet." Opportunities for 5-in-5 players still exist elsewhere.

It will be interesting to me to see just how strong they are on potential penalties. To me, for this to work effectively immediately, the conferences (specifically the SEC) have to be prepared to impose stiff financial penalties on schools and coaches. Not one or the other.
