Donald, olitko sinulla viikonloppuna viime aikoina, oliko se niin? Kyllä, minulla oli ystävä kaupungissa. Ennen kaikkea, Jason, jatkan yhden jakson, ja sinun ei voi muuttaa. Muistamme, miten muuttaa tämän jakson. Ei, mutta minulla oli ystävä kaupungissa hallituksen koulussa. Olimme tehneet suunnitelmia Natsin kanssa, joten kävin hänen kanssaan Natsin kanssa ja muutamia muita ystäviä. Se oli hauska aika, mutta nyt, kuten mietitit, saamme puhua hauskoista asioista yliopistossa.

That scenario exists. So I understand what he's done. So I'm going to talk about it in two different segments. I'll save the money portion for just a minute. But let me first start with Nick Kaminia, because as you mentioned, it's not I can't say any of these moves are surprising anymore because you can't really be shocked about a guy wishing to enter the transfer portal.

There's over half of college basketball is in the transfer portal right now. So you can't be surprised when someone does this. But I will say that given what we had thought about next year's team.

It was probably, it's surprising in the sense that there was easily a role for Nick Kaminio on next year's team. Whether, as you said, it's that fourth, you know, that fifth starter position that he was maybe aiming for, but really being first or second off the bench and getting 20 to 25 minutes of playing time. That seemed to be in the cards for next year's team. And it also was a guy, you know, again, when we see some of these freshmen come in,

Olemme nähneet Nikominin kasvua koko vuoden. Ja mielestäni se on hieman haastavaa Duke-fansista, koska olemme nähneet sen kasvua. Ajattele, että Nikominin ja Duke Uniformin kasvua, jonka hän oli koko vuoden, on jotain, jota kaikki voisivat helposti nähdä. Ja mielestäni se on se,

It's a little bit sad because you want to see that live out in a Duke uniform. It's probably not anymore. But I really wish the kid well. I thought he was a great player. It was great to talk to him in the locker room. A couple of times I was able to do so. You could see that he really enjoyed being at Duke Dish or being a part of this team. This isn't a disgruntled situation at all. It's a guy who clearly has a role in mind for himself. And maybe, as you mentioned, a dollar figure in mind for himself. And

It may not have aligned with whatever Duke was trying to do moving forward. So I wish him well. And Jason will talk about the money part in a second. But really, I just wanted to focus firstly on Nick, the player. It was great to watch him play. Great to see his improvement from day one till now. And unfortunately, we won't get to see him in the Duke uniform next year. Yeah, look, Nick was an outstanding player.

Well, look, everything you just said is great. I think the hustle points, those hustle moments, he had a lot of those this year. He didn't have to, again, you mentioned the uses rate. I wasn't necessarily concerned about that because we weren't asking him to do a lot, but what he was providing was stuff that can't be

You know, statable. Those hustle points, diving for loose rebounds, getting momentum plays. Sometimes it was knocking the ball off of somebody else out of bound to give us the ball and then giving us a let's go and just kind of getting the crowd going. He had a lot of those moments where

You said, hey, Nick had two points, a few rebounds, a couple of assists, but man, did he affect the game in a positive way with a plus 10. You had a few of those types of games. Now, let me talk about the money part of things, because I know you and Scott talked a little bit about it yesterday with just the ever-changing landscape of college basketball. Now,

Tämä on kohti kohti kohti kohti.

If you remember every coach that's been hired by all these different schools from Providence to UNC, they all have basically, there have been reports of the NIL budget guarantees that have come out with that. Hey, we got this coach because we're going to give them $10 million, $15 million. A lot of it was between $15 and $20 million for NIL budgets. Jason, let me tell you this. If someone came up to me and said, yo, you can walk into the sports store and you have a $1,000 gift card.

What am I doing with it? I'm spending it. I'm spending all of it. Now the dollar is going to be left. But if everyone has a thousand dollar gift card to the same store.

Everyone is saying, I got to spend it all. So people start offering to pay more for items that are in scarce supply. That would be this year. A lot of bigs are getting a lot of big dollar offers. And like you said, some wings and guys like threes and fours are getting a lot of big money offers. That's what's happening here. Right now, every, you mentioned yesterday, everybody's a free agent. Over half of all D1 players are in the portal right now.

We're going to talk about a ruling, or at least a proposed new regulation that the NCAA is considering that could also affect this. But teams are paying heavily for the players that they want to try and land now, because what they don't want to have is later on when the store starts emptying out,

and they have this gift card left, they're not going to go back to those boosters and say, oh, I'm sorry, I couldn't spend it. They're trying to use it to buy every ounce of that money. And you spent all that money on getting these guys. So that is where a new community comes in. Duke may have had a budget, but these other schools have, not necessarily have bigger budgets, but they're willing to spend more money and guarantee minutes and all these things. Things that Duke never really has done. The money part is one thing.

mutta Duke on filosofia, jossa kaikki tulevat meneillään. Noin kaikki käyvät meneillään ja sanoo, että olen täällä meneillään. Minulla ei ole varmasti aloituksia, minulla ei ole varmasti minuutteja. Kyllä, se toimii niin, että järjestetään tiettyjä pelaajia, mutta se ei ole osa pakettia.

Jossain näistä kouluista sanotaan, että saamme sinulle 30 minuuttia. Saamme sinulle alkuperäistä roolia. Saamme sinulle x miljoonaa. Ja se on vaikea asia pelaajille. Joten aloitamme näkemään hienoja numeroita. Muistatko viime vuonna, että AJ DiBensi jätti noin 5-7 miljoonaa, johon puhuttiin? Kyllä. 5 miljoonaa tulee olemaan... Ja jos ajattelee yliopistosta.

Derry Minsa made $4 million, and then this year, guess what? The going rate was six for most of those quarterbacks. Five is going to be the going rate for a lot of these top guys, which means that everyone else is getting two or three. You know, those guys that are expected to be starters, but not necessarily role players. They're going to be getting two to three, which is probably higher than what

A team like Duke would pay for somebody who's going to be first or second off the bench. So it's becoming a numbers game in a way that everyone just needs to kind of put in their mind that as you said, Jason, loyalty is not a part of that contract ever. Loyalty is kind of gone by the wayside and that is not necessarily a bad thing. That is just what this is.
