Tyrese Hunter Entering the Transfer Portal - NIL Speculation
- Thread starter cyfan92
- Start date
WIll be rooting for him but I doubt he has the defensive savy, intstinct, and anticipation that this kid had. I don't think Monte Morris even had what this kid had as a freshmen already. Lipsey surely isn't near as explosive athletically, is he?
Once we are in year 5 or 6 of this...the first player (any program) who posts a polished Instagram graphic stating they left because some program offered them millions in cash will be my favorite player of all time just for breaking the honesty barrier.
Already nauseated by the messages about how their current program/coaches are perfect yet God and/or their heart told them to leave the perfect situation for the great unknown.
I'm not mad at Tyrese, I like him. I'd like him even more and even probably keep following his career if he could have said something like his family needs the money and he's following the fat stacks of cash he deserves. Sucker for honesty I guess.
CBB has Never been Amateur ...Hells Bells back in the day Kansas PAID WILT CHAMBERLAIN TO COME TO LAWRENCE KS...TO WIN A NATL TITLE ...& WHO
BEAT THE JAYHAWKS...THEE UNIV OF NORTH CAROLINA!
Its the same old Crap just a different version....
In fairness they wouldn't have made it without both.. Talent drop off was significant after Iziiah and Tyrese.
Sources: A group of heavy-hitting Iowa State boosters and alumni have already created an NiL collective. I’m hearing it will be live in the next few weeks. Stay tuned
To be honest, I'm not sure how to feel about this. I realize that we live in a new NIL world now and we'll have to play this NIL game to be competitive, but I doubt it's sustainable for ISU and I have no desire to donate even more of my money for kids who have little loyalty to ISU and are just looking to cash in.

Where it will get interesting is with schools with extremely wealthy alumni bases who haven't been powerhouses in college basketball. Thing about what a school like Harvard could do with the right coach and a pool of wealthy alumni who want to "buy a championship." The narrative is shifting so fast it's mind blowing.
Who gives a ****. Your analogy is the same as us being appalled that Tre Jackson is leaving and stocking the Western Carolina's of the world.
I really don’t know. Blount followed a few PG’s on Twitter last week but we haven’t been “officially” connected with really any. That will certainly change now.
If Harvard really wanted to they could have an insane team every year with NIL.
So what do you propose? Moral high-ground ourselves into complete obscurity?
It's the new reality.
We had 3-4 high talent players on D and rest of team that played hard which works on D.
We usually only had 2 good players on offense and when you get into tourney time the likelihood of a team clamping down on one of them increases a lot. We advanced in spite of a game where the opposition locked down one of them as focus of the D (LSU clearly locked in on IB and Hunter burned them) and were eliminated pretty easily when a team was able to lock down both.
I keep seeing this. I don't think that teams that will court him are thinking he is a 27% three point shooter.
He is a true freshman who shot .205 (9/44) coming out of the gate. The middle third of the season he shot .229 (11/48). The final third of the season he shot .395 (17/43). That looks to me like a true freshman who was a good shooter in high school adjusting to P6 basketball.
If the doom and gloom posters here are accurate that the big name programs will stop recruiting elite high school players and just buy players off the transfer wire then yes, it would spread the wealth of the high school players out to the rest of the schools. Win-win.
From what I've seen of Lipsey I think he can develop into a nice PG but I'm not sure he's ready to start as a Big 12 PG. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Our ISU’s “heavy hitting boosters” even close to the realm of other Big 12 schools? NIL is going to effectively ruin college athletics and the fact that each school has to have an NIL collective just to attempt to keep players is sad.
I'm in the middle about this but he's doing what he believes in his best interest. If we're going to be mad at anyone, I'd say be mad at our AD who is too reactive about things like this instead of proactive.
Hunter has a lot of potential and he definitely had his big high points and low points. I don't think he's an elite guard but maybe he could develop into one. I'll root for him whatever will be his decision (unless it's Iowa - doubtful) and it does sting. The broader impacts and questions about NIL are greater than just Hunter. At the same time, if Hunter or anyone else got legitimate attention from a team like UNC previous to NIL, they'd be gone anyway regardless in many situations (unless they were guaranteed to only have small bench roles). Not sure exactly how much this changes things other than bench players being able to make some more money at a blue blood vs. other schools. If anything, it might give a bigger fighting chance to colleges with enough alumni to somehow raise money for NIL to compete with some more successful schools than them. No reason ISU can't do it, minus an AD who is too reactive.
