why can’t European players get NIL $$ ?

This young man must be smart too . Virginia , Princeton, Stanford already were on him .
Plus , he was likely to get numerous offers from other schools as well .

Who’s next for Rick ? Boogie ? Let’s hope .
NCAA's international athletes still facing NIL challenges
A number of the NCAA's international athletes will look to cut down the nets at the Final Four, but cashing in on their starring roles won't be easy.
F-1 student visas prohibit NIL. I'm sure this will change at some point
Kid looks like he can play, but then so does every other kid on mix tapes. I look at 3 things on this tape;
What kind of stroke does the kid have?
How quick is his release?
How athlete does he seem?
Of course even the answers to those questions are dependent on the level of comp he's currently playing against. If the comp sucks, the kid will have no prob getting off his shot and will look athletic. I trust that Rick has vetted the kid as well as any coach possibly can, but this is not an exact science. We won't know what the kid can contribute until he gets here. Still, very excited about a seemingly solid start to the 24' recruiting class.

+1. But he is a natural passer and you can pretty much do whatever with guards/wings with size who can shoot and pass. Boogie doesn’t translate to a pure point. A backcourt of these 2 could easily coexist.
Mohammad is a nice passer as well. Rick knows the quickest way to my heart.
At least for the jump from college to the pros, people look at FT % as the real indicator of shooting potential on the next level in terms of form/stroke. By that logic, him shooting 87% definitely has me excited.
However it was done, West Virginia figured it out for Edwards, when apparently Syracuse was struggling with the process. I don’t think anyone is going to be free as there are agents working every angle.
Still blows me away that as a collective our roster shoots near 80%. Gonna be real hard to foul us into losses.

Why did Jesse Edwards’ options evaporate in Syracuse? How does NIL work with international athletes?
Edwards, SU's two-year starter at center, has entered the transfer portal.

He decided to change his visa. I’m not a lawyer but it sounds risky and a headache that I’m not sure will become mainstream.
Me too, but a high FT% is only a factor if he can actually get his shot off at this level. If he can't, he won't be on the floor enough for his FT % to matter much.
It has always drive
I'll admit I was not in favor of hiring Pitino 4 years ago for reasons having nothing to do with coaching ability, but I am all in now. Losing wears you down lol.
It has always driven me nuts to watch our teams shoot high 60s or low 70% from the line, just gave so many points away. If nothing else, shooting close to 80% from the line will be good for another 3 or 4 points per game.

Believe it or not NCJ, I was not in favor of hiring him back then either. Felt like he needed to do his penance somewhere else first. There was no better place for him to do his penance then at Iona. I do think that him doing his penance at a Catholic school was a huge factor. As well as him moving back to the area 3 years ago. For once in the past 20+ years, the stars aligned for us. Very exciting times.

I agree after Louisville he just appeared to be dirty honestly and well needed some time away. FBI cleared him he had been a good by since years later happy to have him. Everyone deserves a second shot well Anderson had 3 so there goes that philosophy lol
