Well here’s some major news and an indication that NIL could really shake things up for various schools: Jalen Duren, who is currently seen as the #1 player in the class of 2022, is supposedly leaning towards Miami.
Over Kentucky.
And that assumes he does go to college.
If that’s true, and it’s a major if, it suggests that a school like Miami might be able to make a major move up in the ACC and college basketball in general, and not just because of Duren.
It could also be because of, or partly because of anyway, Miami’s hiring his AAU coach, DJ Irving, but let’s assume for the moment that NIL is a major player in this and let’s play scenarios.
