DJ Thomas and Hicks.

Is the real deal. I'm stating the obvious. He's gonna Highly sought after this off-season. Or next. Depending on who our coach is gonna be. And what his NIL deal looks like. Don't forget about Hicks. That kid's gonna Be a first team nomination in whatever conference he is bye his junior or senior year. Once he learns his defensive assignments better and gets more green light opportunities he will only shine even more. The kid has the tools To be our best Freshman guard since Marshall. Not including DJ of course.

Don’t know how it’s structured, exactly (maybe he’s locked in to a deal). But it’s a number far below what others would/will offer.

Without some change, it will eventually get to the point where the only relevant g5 programs (or whatever they are called when realignment finally shakes out) are those with extremely deep pocket NIL boosters. Someone ( or a group of someone's) who will put up boatloads of cash every year. UNLV is at a disadvantage here. We are a relatively new school with a small graduate base compared to more established programs. Also, we don't have a large community of people who have been fans since birth. Both these things lower our odds of producing a billionaire or two who grew up in the community devoted to the Rebels.
