Interesting that site lists NIL Value?....is that what they've received? forecasted amount of what they would need to get?....not sure what that means

Just depends on the situation..I think Isaih mosely might have killed his career by transferring..you never know...it's the risk you take by starting over. With Reink, who knows what it is he wants....I just think the chances of his growth being stunted is greater by going to a power 5. I mean if he were to stay at BU, he knows hes going to be the man, and has a chance to continue getting better. Like I said, maybe he wants to play in the tourney, and again, going to ANY power 5 school who just plays .500 ball seems to be enough for that. If its $$, then we are not likely going to be able to compete, maybe we can, IDK what the HOTB NIL is offering these guys.

Good poing DublR, Rienk could have dominated the MVC and gotten far more attention with the numbers he would have put up. He'll cash in on the NLI money doing this, but he very likely could have cashed in from the Pro leagues much more effectively by staying put, especially if BU went on to win a game or two or three in the NCAA tourney. As it is, we'll never know.

As a comparison, who would have even known who Antoine Davis was if he played for a Power 5 conference?

Also, #44 on the list is from St Francis (PA), 6'10" Freshman Josh Cohen scored 40 points in a game this year!! We've been in touch with Landon Moore, maybe we should be looking at Cohen as well.


Nevermind....he's committed to Penn State.

Professional scouts in the NBA and overseas are already familiar with his capabilities. To me, the fact he wants to be challenged by playing against and with, a higher level of competition, says quite a little bit. It isn’t about being the star or dominating. If it was he’d stay at BU, transfer to a lower D1 school or drop down to D2 or D3. Providing he doesn’t suffer a major injury, he will have a professional career as a worst case scenario in Europe. I wish him the best.

There are other sites that estimate NIL value. I have no idea what formula they use to calculate that, but it's just a guess. With a few exceptions, nearly all NIL deals are kept private. There are players on the team that do not even know what they other guys are getting.

Realistically the MVC competition isn't great right now for Rienk. He showed he can dominate in the Valley. He averaged 14pts/8rbds in Valley play this year, and frankly outside of Drakes roster, which is mostly gone next year (Brodie etc), there wasn't really a challenge in the post for him in conference. If he truly wants to be challenged for most of the season then he needs better opponents to play against, not 7-8 MVC teams equating to 14-16 games of the season where he won't see a serviceable big inside to play against. This move gives him the opportunity to pick up a 6 figure NIL deal most likely (Terry Roberts did) and play against better competition in almost every game next year, which would prepare him for the pro scene more I would imagine. Unfortunately it is a win-win situation for him to transfer most likely.

14pts, 8 reb to me is not dominating. I think he has far more than that in him..but its going to take developing the ball handling, face up game, better perimeter 1 on 1 defense and add some explosiveness. I just don't know if that room to develop will be there at a power 5 school. I hope it is for him, I honestly do. It's of my opinion that he would develop more here at BU playing 30 minutes a game plus....especially if it's more of a perimeter game he's trying to develop. If they move him to the perimeter at a power 5, it could get rough real quick, and like i said I hope he doesn't get buried on the bench.

Idk, Krutwig averaged 14.7/6.6 in his senior year in the MVC and 14/7 overall, and won player of the year and was 1st team all conference. Pretty comparable to Rienk's numbers this year of 13.8/8. Rienk was also 1st team all conference but missed player of the year.

I tend to kind of agree with you here though. My statement was just more from what I think the player's perspective may be about the situation. It could be very likely Rienk struggles to fit at a P5 school, as like he said the he lacks explosiveness and athleticism at his traditional position, and also on the wing. He could be a solid option at the 4 maybe though. If he does go to P5 school, it may not be a program that has a lot of success recently. Maybe something more like Terry Roberts going to Georgia, a program that has struggled in recent years, but has the ability to provide a lot of NIL and plays against good teams.

I get it. If it were me, and it's not for many many reasons lol, I couldn't take going to a power 5 school and LOSING...I'm not saying he will, or wants to, but what Roberts went thru last year, to me, that would be miserable. I'd take 25+ wins and fun in the valley all day long.

I hope the best for Reink.....this seems like an odd fit style wise, but what do I know?

That to me is kind of a strange fit. I really liked Mast and he was a good Valley player. His last two games in the tour. were not very good scoring only 2 and 4 points in them. I get the wanting to be more challenged but to me I think trying to win the player of the year in the Valley would have done just that for him. He has a ways to go as far as improving so he can be even a decent player in the SEC.

Middle of the pack SEC team may afford him the playing time.

Good luck, Rienk! I'll be rooting for you and Florida while you're there!

I am sure there are others. I've heard he has been contacted by over 60 schools, many of them high-majors.

I would expect that but he needs to beware of them trying to find go backup players. I do hope everything works out for him.
