Up until now, the chatter I’ve heard here and other places, is that donors are excited but not excited enough to open their checkbooks.

He said there’s enough to win and “max out”

Noie also seems to be quite bullish on Shrewsberry. I left the chat encouraged about the direction of the program and our prospects of landing some quality players from the portal.
Sounds like there’s enough NIL to keep us in the mix, but…

If a kid’s first priority to is to max out his NIL opportunities, he’s probably not looking at ND and ND is not focused on him.

That’s my takeaway, at least.

The full chat is still out there via the link and it’s very well done. Huge credit to Noe…we’re fortunate to have a beat writer like him.
If a kid’s focus is NIL, he isnt going to an ND kid anyway.

I wonder what will happen if we can get some big signature wins in the next two years. Knocking off Duke or UNC in their building or making a Sweet 16 run. Will that change the math?

It’ll be interesting to see.
