G5(6) Revenue Sharing

MidTennMtneer
AAC has officially announced the minimum schools must spend.

* $10m over a 3yr period
* up to schools how to distribute
* up to $2.5m can be Alston payments that most already do anyway
* Schools that fail to meet the $10 million standard at the conclusion of the 2027-28 academic year could be subject to a “review” of their membership status within the conference

American Athletic Conference becomes first league to set 'minimum standard' revenue share of $10 million

The AAC has taken the first leap into the revenue sharing era of college sports.

This is what I mean when I say we don't want to get left behind. Not from a conference realignment standpoint, but a $ standpoint.

I haven't heard about CUSA setting a minimum, but can all our schools swing averaging $3.3m per year extra? That is what our peers are spending on the low end, and what will be required for us to compete.
I'd bet the PAC will be doing more than that.

BASKETBALL MBB PORTAL THREAD

Jaye Nash is a player MTSU has reached out to. As a true freshman at Tulsa, did not really produce much but was a heralded recruit. The point guard was a true freshman so did not play with Jarred Hall. Played senior season at McEachern with Ace Bailey and co., but before that was an in-state standout at Briarcrest Christian in Memphis

LADY RAIDER BB Transfer Portal Tracker

jakeboldenbrp
As names start to enter the portal, I will do my best to update a running list of names to keep an eye on.

With 6 HS signees and losing 5 Seniors, the current roster is at a surplus on one scholarship. That would mean they need to do some gymnastics (or cuts) to shop in the transfer portal. Not to mention if the NCAA re-addresses a 5th year addition (currently tabled until April), you could return everyone expect Grannum and Arike.

In a world where they make cuts, players enter the portal, or CRI rescinds scholarships, I think they would go after an experienced center and/or a proven scorer at PG. This is just my speculation. Losing your 4 year letterman Boldyreva and not having an immediate replacement has a lot of questions marks around the position. I believe Dominguez, Phifer, and McClendon will immediately challenge for the starting spot and in years past we've seen HS centers immediately take the reins. In fact, some of the best in school history did so, Boldyreva and Alex Johnson immediately come to mind. There is already some good, scoring capable F/C that have entered the portal that would be worth exploring. The back court is deep with HS scoring talent (Verhulst 16 ppg, Swaney 19 ppg, and Baugus 22 ppg) plus returning Scott *fingers crossed* and Davis makes the scoring PG/SG a lower priority. Blakely contributed nearly 10 ppg, but her 19% 3FG was felt on the floor spacing you experienced with Wheeler.

Here is my list in no particular order:
  • Caitlin Weimar, NC State F/C (6-4, SR)
    • Didn't play in '24-'25 due to injury. Scored 18.7 ppg and 10.6 rpg at Boston U in '23-'24
  • Aniya Hubbard, UAB SG (5-8, JR)
    • '23 CUSA Freshman of the Year at FAU, proven scorer in this league with 17.2 ppg for the Owls
    • She essentially went MIA after transferring to UAB
  • Anaya Brown, UT-Martin F (6-1, JR)
    • OVC 1st-teamer, 15 ppg with a 30% 3FG and 75% FT.
  • Rachael Rose, Wofford G (5-7, SR)
    • Eerily similar numbers to Savannah Wheelers JR season at Marshall: 22 ppg, 40% 3FG, 87% FT on 5 FTA/g
    • Only played 6 games this year, Preseason SoCon POY
  • Gracie Merkle, Penn State C (6-6, rSO)
    • High on my list LY and returns to the portal this year. 15.5 ppg on 67% FG and 8.6 rpg in the Big Ten.
  • Lexi Fleming, Bowling Green PG (5-5, SR)
    • Avg 12.6 ppg through 4 years at BG. 46% FG on 10 att/g and 36% from 3, near 2 A/TO ratio. I think a very underrated find.
  • Alayna Contreras, UMKC G (5-6, SO)
    • Multi-level scorer with high-volume shooting. Scored nearly 600 points (over 17 ppg) for UMKC on 17 FGA/g (7th most in CBB) and 38% FG.
  • Nora Francois, New Orleans C (6-2 SR)
    • 15 ppg, 8.2 rpg. Scrappy, athletic big. Can shoot the 3 (25% from 3 on 101 attempts).
  • Gift Uchenna, Southern Illinois C (6-3 JR)
    • One of the top rebounders in CBB LY with 12.8 rpg, 5 offensive boards/game.
  • Jade Weathersby, UAB F (6-2 SO)
    • 2nd-team AAC, averaged 11 points, 9 rebounds/game. Athletic, long forward
  • Sophie Glancey, Northern Arizona F (6-2 JR)
    • Potentially the best mid-major in portal with 18 points, 9 rebound average on 50% FG. Big Sky All-Defense.
  • Fatmata Janneh, St. Peter's F (6-2 SO)
    • 19 double-doubles for the All-MAAC selection. Another high volume shooter with multi-level scoring ability.
  • Mia Jacobs, Fresno State C (6-2 JR)
    • 18.3 ppg, 10 rpg. Very talented Center/Forward with excellent shooting numbers 38% from 3 on 179 attempts.
  • Laura Zeigler, St. Joseph's F (6-2 JR)
    • 17.5 ppg, 10.4 rpg. Reminds me a lot of Malashka's ability to score in traffic with great ball handling. Near double positive A/TO.
  • Iullia Grabovskaia, Michigan C (6-5 JR)
    • Transferred out of MT at the end of '24 season. Played in all 33 games, started once for Michigan. Avg 5 points, 4 rebounds.
  • Rhema Collins, Mississippi F (6-2 SO)
    • Offered out of/attended The Webb School (Bell Buckle, TN). Played in 25 games over 2 season in Oxford. Averaged 3 points, 2 rebounds in '24-'25.
  • Fanta Gassama, New Mexico State F (6-1 SR)
    • Another potential inter-CUSA transfer. One of the top rebounders in CUSA LY averaging 9.4 ppg and 8.7 rpg. Had 2 double-doubles vs. MT LY.
  • Lauryn Swann, Arizona G (5-7 FR)
    • Big 12 All-Freshman Team averaging 8 points with 40% 3PT shooting.
  • Kiki Smith, Arkansas G (5-7 SO)
    • Made over 2 3PT/game on 41% from deep. Averaged over 10 ppg, and started 22 games for the Razorbacks.
  • T'yana Todd, Boston College G (6-0 JR)
    • Shot 46% from 3, 4th best in CBB. Averaged 13.2 ppg.
  • Marina Asensio, Western Michigan G (5-8 JR)
    • Played on same club (Segle XXI) as HS signee Nicole Dominguez in Spain. Averaged 14 ppg on 38% 3FG.

Off the Board:
  • Mya Kone, 6-2 C FIU -> Miami (FL)
  • Edyn Battle, 5-7 G Jacksonville -> South Florida

NIL donation information

From Lee:

Hey guys! Individuals CAN use the Blue Raider Exchange and interact directly with our student-athletes regarding NIL deals, as you can see at this link.

We don't have a collective, nor do we have demand for one right now. If anyone wants to support student-athletes directly (without any kind of business interest), they can also donate to the "Student-Athlete Impact Fund" through the BRAA. Click here to do that.

OT: Thoughts on Deion at Colorado?

M
So I've been rounding up and pinning down interviews with guys in HS but also some dudes in the portal. Got me thinking about what Deion is doing in Boulder, purging basically that entire roster and infusing it with portal talent.

Thoughts on how he will do and how quickly they will rise to prominence. I say top 10 nationally by year three. I ultimately see him taking a job like Texas A and M, when it comes open...
