Oh Well, if Bradley is not in his Heart and more $$ is, there is nothing we can do! However, there are still 2 more seasons he'll have to reconsider via transfer portal! We still have 2 home grown heroes coming to play! Peoria & Metamora will be well represented! I'm still excited about next year! We as fans have to support BU Basketball the best we can next year! We have to live for the moment and watch our 3 great prospects prosper into hopefully exceptional players! I'm sure BW knows, he can only build for 1 year because there are no future Guarantees! Let's go Braves 2025-26! We can win the Valley....We will have the talent!

Could have been as simple as the highest bidder. It probably makes sense that are going to be some middle of the road of bottom Power4 programs that will put up most of their available NIL money to a player like Sommerville. They know they can't compete with the big schools on their full roster, but they can aggressively "buy" a couple players that they know are essentially guaranteed to be talented starters etc.Originally posted by egib52 View Post
For instance, a Michigan might look at Sommerville as a nice player for their roster, but maybe not someone that would get full starter minutes, or star status, and would therefore be willing to say pay $500k in NIL to Sommerville. While Washington is not getting quite the top talent that Michigan might be getting, and therefore view Sommerville as a key star or player for their program and pay him $750k+.Thinking is the hardest work, that is why so few people do it. -Henry Ford

You are quite possibly right, but coming from a professional basketball family, I would think his dad would be pushing him to the best place to develop.Originally posted by Stryker View PostComment

I don't know that it makes sense. Everything has changed. If he can get $750k a year or more each of the next three years, he can retire on that, or "coast retire". $2M invested at age 22, work a regular old whatever job for 5-10 years and he could easily retire. I think this will be the advice most players get going forward, especially if they don't have actual NBA/pro talent/aspirations.Originally posted by egib52 View PostThinking is the hardest work, that is why so few people do it. -Henry Ford

There’s absolutely no way he picks Washington for development. This was the worst team in the big ten. This is purely money. Highest bidder. Winning doesn’t matter. This is college basketball in 2025.Comment

Yep. We should be getting used to it as well. This is THE only motivation for players and occam's razor should be used. $$$ is almost always the answer and always will be in this sport as it exists now.Originally posted by BUBraves 33 View PostThinking is the hardest work, that is why so few people do it. -Henry Ford

While always hoping Sommerville would pick BU, it was always going to be a long shot of him doing so. If his heart is in not wanting to come home to play then so be it. Turn our attention to getting players that can contribute immediately and above all else players with good character and work habits to get BU to the next level. Season just ended, but already gearing up for next season which is really not that far away if you think about it. Already have put order in for season tickets. Can we start next season tomorrow.
