I bet all these names start committing within a week. Just not sure with who.

I know in the state of Texas you can now be given priority seating based on the amount given to a university approved NIL fund. That came into effect a few weeks ago. And I know Texas is not the only state with that law on the books through the state legislature.

Megan Fitch is attending the Illinois and Notre Dame camps this summer. She is interested in veterinary medicine, which may give Illinois an advantage.

Football and basketball posters who appear to know much more about NIL and recruitment than me make it pretty clear NIL negotiations between staff and recruits are now part of the recruiting process, notwithstanding NCAA regulations. I truly doubt the NCAA will eagerly work to enforce whatever regulations it may have in this regard given their last trip to the Supreme Court, particularly when one reads the dicta in the NIL opinion. Governor Pritzker has signed NIL related legislation, and it appears the Illinois legislature is ready and willing to pass whatever additional acts are necessary in the future to keep Illinois institutions competitive as the legislative process invades the new world of college athletics. I believe I have read BYU is making NIL money sufficient to match scholarships available to individuals who are invited to walk-on, leaving scholarship limitations somewhat meaningless, at least for the bigger, wealthier schools.
Which takes me back to my original question. Does Tamas have some access to NIL money to use in the recruitment or retention process? Put another way, has football and basketball NIL money trickled down to some of the “minor” sports? If so, I certainly hope he uses it to keep Raina for her covid year.
I shudder to think what volleyball programs like Nebraska and Texas will be able to do with this new reality.

I've enjoyed these introduction videos of our incoming freshmen. Can't wait to see these guys in action. We're only like six/seven weeks away from the first match!

I still don’t understand why other programs have had more coaches. The women’s basketball team has always had three assistant coaches. Anyone have any insight? Why does basketball get to practice in the summer even though their season isn't until Oct/Nov, yet volleyball who's season starts in August can't start practice until a few weeks before season starts? Basketball can't run full practices, just individual and small group workouts. Though I do think they will get some extra early practices this summer because they are taking a team trip to Spain in August.

Scoped Coach Tamas twitter follows. There are a few 2025 OH sprinkled in there. Hopefully we hear about one soon.

That’s my assumption since it’s not clearly listed on the site.
Seems like a miss if we’re not doing this but i have to assume we are to stay competitive on the recruiting front?

Although the camps are open to anyone paying a fee, generally players are grouped by age and ability, with “elite” players separated from others. I believe “scholarships” are available in some circumstances.

Still a lot of the top OH in class to commit. Lots of the powerhouse school already have 3 commits. Hopefully we get nice OH in this class.
