The difference could be the intent that is driving the decision…if the intent is to get intel on skill gaps, you hold the spot (unless the player has already indicated that the NIL offer is insufficient)…if the pressure from family/agent is to go pro then you have to assess probability of a return. If it doesn’t meet tolerance level you have to move on.

This whole NIL fiasco is ruining college basketball. Mid-major colleges will no longer compete in the NCAA’s. Think about it, if you’re a good player on a mid-major team, you’re gonna want to take your game to the next level at a better basketball school, leaving mid-majors scrambling for players
Overpaid by a lot - based on last year and this year performance
Hot take: I think our overall offense will be better next year without RJ. The Half Court really stalled once the ball got in his hands. Luckily, they got away with it against undersized BE teams. We saw how that worked against the Hogs, who had legit size at multiple positions. Defense will take a hit, but I’m good with that if the scoring efficiency improves.
It should be! Our offense was ranked 66th in the country
This is such a crazy market, it's hard to be critical of the 2.5 nimber being floated by our fans. I'm never right about this but i think a reasonable pricetag is about 1 mm or at least closer to 1 than 2.
Having said that my hope (prayer) is that on the exit interviews this weekend both sides agree thst all things being equal, unless the nba calls, rj should come back with business to finish.

And in a few years I can see the structure of the NCAA imploding with the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and MAYBE a grouping of ACC and a handful of Big East schools that will survive and create their own sport championships! The ACC will never kick out their football brethren so I can see them taking in only/ a few BE schools.
Realistically the majors don't give a hoot about including the non football schools in their sport championships anyway. The way NIL is heading many of the Olympic sports will either disappear or be folded into the USOC umbrella. The Super Conference of those four will host their own National championships.

A public warning was posted that repeating the same thing over and over amounts to spamming the site and that points would be assigned for doing so.
Yes, posts may be deleted for the same offense.
And meandering repetition gets evaluated the same way as short repetition. If you said it already, you don't need to say it again.
At this point considering that anything and everything that anyone might want to say on this topic has already been said, it's a short distance from being locked anyway.

I don't understand why RJ was benched. I don't understand why inoffensive posts get deleted. I don't understand how to fold a fitted sheet.
There's much I don't understand.

Noted , thanks for the explanation . I think this topic has been very controversial .
Hence , the amount of commentary
Carmine , I often loved or , cursed the real Carmine Abbatiello at the old Roosevelt Raceway.
Depending on how his horse did or , didn’t .
Red and Yellow silks he wore . Easy to follow on the back stretch . Where you could tell if he was going to try and win or , just out for a evening sulky ride .
I always bet him from the number 1 post position . He liked to go for the lead and go wire to wire. Often times he was money from that position .
As for fitted sheets , I’m not permitted to help my Wife when she changes them .
No skill she says.
I’m looking forward to next season but , first who we get to come via the portal .
I did some research on Hopkins . Didn’t know he was at Kentucky before Providence .
I didn’t look up his age but, guess he might be in the Eric Dixon category but , not yet a challenger for Theo John’s level .
Be well .

RJ is a really nice young man, a very good basketball player and has a great family (got to meet them in the Bahamas). He was the POY on our best team in decades. I wish him nothing but the best because he gave us his all and a season of smiles.
Good luck RJ!
Good luck RJ!

From this article "Luis has already seen that Pitino will claim many of the Red Storm’s collective successes but shift much of the blame to a star player for a loss. In New York, it’s “The Godfather” first, and his players second".RJ Luis Jr. ‘coveted’ in transfer portal after St. John’s basketball coach Rick Pitino does damage control | Sporting News
St. John's head basketball coach Rick Pitino may regret how he treated RJ Luis Jr. during and after the Red Storm's NCAA Tournament elimination.
I love Rick and want him to be here for many years but I think there's some truth to this statement.
You’ve seen him claim many of the storm’s collective successes?
Mid majors will have all freshman and sophomore rosters instead of all Junior and Senior rosters. They will act as a minor league system for the major conferences. High school kids unless they are a Top 100 kid will have a tough time getting a schollie and will have to go the mid major route to prove themselves.
Who was the TV character that used to put his face in his hands and lament I’m so confused?
