I thought this was announced by Silver a month ago. Maybe it was just a rumor and I misremember the source.
Silver didn’t officially can it a month ago but he alluded to the ignite being a failure
Yeah it was all over ESPN radio. Maybe a tweet as well where it was said the G league ignite is folding. I’m surprised it’s just now making waves.
-
@bskeet They paid up to $500,000 in the g-league ignite. Bottom salary was 40k. I’m pretty sure KU players get paid better.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I thought the guys in the GLeague included draft picks — even lottery picks — and former starters who were rehabbing from injuries. Sorry if I’m confusing things here or simply ignorant.
Appreciate you guys who really know what’s going on.
Are there two G-Leagues?

@bskeet https://www.hoopsrumors.com/2022/11/nba-g-league-salaries-increase-for-2022-23.html
It is not what I thought either. Really they could not complete salary wise with the top ncaa programs.

No, there are not two G-Leagues. The G-League Ignite team however doesn’t have the same rules as the league because that team was specifically established as a way for select top HS prospects to skip college and get paid for a year and get professional level coaching prior to NIL being established. The Ignite team was essentially a “select” team where league officials determined who would play on team. These players were all top HS and International prospects and not under NBA contracts so NBA salaries don’t apply to that team.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Thank you
-
If someone like Jamari leaves…I’d probably kick the tires on a kid like Vyctorious Miller. Think he’s more talented than Jamari long term
-
Darius Acuff should be visiting this weekend. Explains Rylan coming a big earlier than expected since you wouldn’t want overlap.

Wow. How did we pull off that? Haven’t seen Kansas on any list for Acuff.
-
@BShark two visits in a pretty close time span is interesting

Also he already took an unofficial visit for a game this year. KU is deep in this one.

Sounds like Rylan is just going to be in Lawrence the entire time. Hilarious.
-
@BShark oh was talking about Acuff visiting in march lol but true that
-
Apparently Rylan “isn’t on campus” today per Bossi. It’s all a bit touchy since he isn’t on his OV yet.

@approxinfinity said in Recruiting Notes:

Yes.
His people worried he never gets a shot now. Juan/Mayo this year. Elmarko still around and bringing in Acuff. I can understand the concern.
-
@BShark yeah that sucks. Id be more excited about Philon than Elmarko, but as i think @Texas-Hawk-10 said well, off season from year 1 to 2 usually sees substantial growth, and we have a title to win next year.
-
Where does Flory play, the 5 exclusively?
-
-
So we thinkin now KU is set to keep Zach ? - -Have Zach , Flory , & Hunter holding down the 5 ?
-
@BShark Acuff >>>philon
Philon>>>EJ next year though
-
More depth

Sounds like Will Thengvall will be added as a walk on. Was a stud this year 5A player of the year in KS.
-
@BShark from? Kapaun
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Recruiting Notes:

Yes. State champion, went beast mode in KS playoffs to carry them to the title. Older brother is at Wichita State.

@BShark had a good coach too!

You’d know him well, I’d imagine. 12 years at HCC I think?

Any magic left in HCBS this year or is the roster final? I haven’t see any rumors of potential 2024 MBB recruits in a while.
