Adam Njie to Iona sounds like a good example of this starting to happen.

The Stith brothers for the Bonnies were pretty good together
Very smart take.
All of this being bad for High School players was predictable and many of us predicted it. A lot happened that hurts them right now. NIL, which I'm sure they covet, keeps players in the system longer. Less churn creates less openings anywhere in the system. That should work itself out over time, but it surely hurts a few high school classes. Then, on top of that, the NCAA decided to give four full years (ex. Ivy, so far) of players an extra year of eligibility. That is still not over, as guys like Posh and Wusu could come back. Everyone didn't use that, but combined with an increased pay structure, many did. It's a lot of extra players who would be off to other endeavors.
All 351 schools only need so many guys and players who have graduated from high school who would have had D1 offers in the past had to have been left out the last few years. It's math. An equilibrium of the total annual talent pool needed should arrive in one more year, but all but the truly top high school players can expect their best offers to be from mid or low majors. And from there, if they aspire to be high-major players they will need to prove it on the court. Young people mature a lot physically from 18-24, and there are exceptions like Stephon Castle, but not many 18-year-olds can play better than older guys.
Just ask Cal!

Mid majors may have their better players poached by high majors but on the other hand they can get a higher quality high school recruit that there is no room for at high majors who are loading up on transfers. The same amount of players are stocking the rosters of all D1 teams the talent has just be rearranged where low majors are like minor leagues. proving grounds prepping players for the high majors to pluck a few years down the road.

Well somebody’s going to suffer with the whole fiasco they call college sports. Outside of the 4 and 5 star kids who have money waiting, the three star player and below will have to find a lower level to play at and hope they can increase their stock to become transfer worthy.
You're showing your age. Then again, so am -- I remember them (well, pretty well). Tom's story was a sad one he was the #2 pick in the draft by the Knicks after a brilliant career with the Bonnies, but a battle with TB that began in the preseason limited his career after just a few games.

Most of the posts with examples of brothers playing together were situations that happened some time ago. In todays world of college sports, can you imagine….. one brother with a better NIL deal then the other? Of their father or family supporting the fact that one of their sons is “worth” more then the other. Or the parent who tells the coach if you want my 4 star kid my 2 star kid should get a good NIL deal and be part of a package deal. This could lead to all sorts of fun.

Been going on for a long time. NFL star WR Keenan Allen told colleges they had to take is much less talented QB brother to sign him.Most of the posts with examples of brothers playing together were situations that happened some time ago.

For everyone here who was mad that we weren't all over Qin Pang, portal mania could theoretically make us swing back around on a local kid like that depending on who we land and if we have an open spot.
Kid probably got screwed out of his Michigan desires with the new coach coming in.

I was pretty pissed when Cal took Keenan’s brother, Zack Maynard, from Buffalo. The kid balled out in the MAC.

Took me a minute to remember their names, but this is the first brother package I could clearly remember where one was more talented.

Greg Cluess played the 1969-70, 1970-71 and 1971-72 seasons.
Hank Cluess played the 1963-64, 1964-65 and 1965-66 seasons.
Kevin Cluess played the 1972-73, 1973-74 and 1974-75 seasons.
Tim Cluess played the 1979-80 and 1980-81 seasons.
In the 1971-72 season Greg and Kevin were members of the SJU basketball teams, but they didn´t play together: Greg was the captain of the varsity team and Kevin was a member of the freshman team.

Stuff you are pointing out happened pre NIL and will continue and yes there will be differences in the NIL deals but the less talented brother could be getting more NIL than he would anywhere else.
The Brothers Johnson would stomp all competition.Hanson brothers in hockey great example of brothers on same team working
