A little added context from Dyondre's dad. Nothing shocking but still nice to see out there.

Hunh, he's all but coming out and saying that DD is leaving because he can get better NIL deals elsewhere.

That’s transparency, which I appreciate. Wonder if we can get some thoughts on this from the Mass Collective. Is a player like Dyondre really going to get 100k plus?

^yeah that's crazy. I guess I REALLY underestimated the amount of money out there that a guy like DD is getting good money.

No chance. Maybe 5 figures.

Where are you getting 100k plus?

Even 10k would make his life a lot easier while getting a graduate degree at a name brand p5 university. They put a lot of years into hoop and come out with an education and no debt. I can see why they take chances to try and level up. I just hope it all works out.

Pretty sure he had an existing 5 figure deal with UMass. If his dad is talking about money to change he and his family’s life, I’d guess that’s around 100k. I’d be surprised if that’s out there for him.

Or maybe it’s not just money. Maybe another coach plays him more and sets him up to play professionally overseas.

Or maybe the mass collective was suggested to spend DD’s $ on a player from the portal.

I can’t imagine the mayhem behind the scenes.

Graduating from Umass was the plan when coach Martin got there, but as you guys know college basketball has changed there’s opportunities out there for Dyondre to help himself and more importantly his family! I believe that’s any kids dream!
Huh, his family's well-being is more important than his. Even though, he's still a kid. Interesting.

We’re going to discuss this and answer other questions in an open forum tonight on our Twitter Spaces after Ryan Bamford and Shardonay Blueford join us. They will be answering a series of presubmitted NIL questions from 8-845 or so. After they log off, there will be an open discussion and Q&A with The Mass Co.

We will post more on this tomorrow as well, after tonight’s Twitter Spaces.

Is it fair game for an agent to contact a kid before he enters the portal? Seems to be implied here.
"Jack didn’t have any envy in him," Calipari said. "He was the greatest coach to ever coach here."
