MVC Transfers 2022

The NIL concept is wrong from several angles. Paying a 19-22 year old kid a six digit amount of money will do more harm than good TO THE KID. A kid that age, especially coming from a humble background thinks it is more money that they can spend, and before you know it, they have run through it like crap through a goose. Then the following Spring that get a letter from this place called the Internal Revenue Service, informing them they owe a 5 digit figure to the IRS, not to mention state departments of revenue demanding the same. I had a chat one day with a guy who worked for a big annuity company, his territory included a Chicago burb where several NBA stars lived. They all lived in big houses with many newfound "friends", lots of new shiny cars parked out on the street, once they quit playing the gravy train derailed.

Thanks a lot NCAA.

There is really a lot wrong with this post. Let's leave it at that.

Racism. It's the casual racism.

I'm sure he had Marcus Domask in mind when he was typing.

Um, the NCAA fought hard against NIL. Took it all the way to SCOTUS—and lost. 9-0. If you don’t like NIL blame the Sherman Antitrust Act.

It’s the middle of June. If you don’t have your landing spot yet, then I don’t care anymore.

By my incredibly subjective assessment, of the 49 MVC players (including the new teams) who’ve entered and announced their commitment for the 22-23 season, 24 (~49%) have moved down from their previous spot, 14 (~28%) have moved laterally, and 11 (~22%) have moved up. The number up we would say is slightly skewed due to the three Murray State players who followed their coach to LSU.

I won’t go through how I evaluated every player but will tell you, Sheldon Edwards transfer from Valpo to Loyola was considered lateral

What informed most of my down vs lateral assessment was really just thinking "would the team they are going to have the potential to win around half their games in the MVC?" If not, down. If so, lateral. The guys who moved up are pretty obvious-P6 guys.

Thanks for following along!

AJ Green signed a Two Way deal with the Bucks as soon as the Draft got over last night. He'll play on their Vegas summer league team and has been invited to training camp. Should see some time with the big club this year.

I would be surprised if he sees time with the big club. I'm not as high on his NBA prospects as some. You have to guard people to play for the Bucks.

I'm optimistic. AJs agent was director of scouting with the Bucks until last summer when he went the agent route and the deal had been worked out weeks ago. AJ said he spent the entire second round hoping he wouldn't get drafted last night because he knew the Bucks plan for him both financially and on the floor.

Different discussion but the NBA needs to go to a 1 round draft. Nobody wants their second round picks and they all end up Euro stashes that won't ever see the league anyway.

Agreed on the draft.

I felt the same way about Doug McDermott and Ron Baker. They were never high-level NBA guys but stuck around long enough to make life changing money.

Doug McDermott was the #11 pick in the draft and has averaged double-digit PPG each of the last three seasons.
