First of all I didn't think NIL funds were available to him, as that's what been discussed repeatedly on this site, and secondly if he was looking for a better offer he sure was not very smart about " playing for a new contract " this past season. JMO

AJ Storr apparently turned down $750,000 from Kansas, looking for more. He was a high level recruit but has been very underwhelming in his first two years (not one of Wisconsin's top 4 players by box plus minus and a negative defensive impact). The money flying around is insane.Last edited by sedz; 04-03-2024, 09:40 AM.

Chad brought up that same topic and said that international players cannot receive NIL funds while (actively) working in the US, but can receive such funds outside of the US. A prominent example is when UK took a team-bonding trip to the Bahamas in 2022 and Oscar Tshiebwe (from the Democratic Republic of Congo) made $500k from NIL work opportunities specifically in the Bahamas during the week-long trip.

Is that an annual 750k or total value?

I don't think people realize there are at least 2 guys on our team right now that are in the 6 figure range in NIL.
I think I can safely now say that NIL money for other players had a fairly direct impact on Viktor Lahkin's playing time. Vik would have gotten paid well in this system if he weren't a foreign player. The portal jump for him is strictly about making sure he has a place to go where he can play. I fully expect him to go pro overseas rather than land back in college, if he can find a safe landing spot. Leaving both avenues open is the correct strategy for him.

Originally posted by cpawstoney View PostSo far all I've heard is Vik going. There were a few other names mentioned last week. Is that it? Is everyone else returning?
Davenport entered the portal on April 6th. Hensley entered the portal on April 20th. MAW entered the portal on May 9th (after initially posting on social media that he would return to UC in April).

The whole process can play out over the course of weeks as was evident last season.

That is fine, but he left a sour taste by the way he left. I am talking about the last half of the season. He let his school, his team and the fans down. I firmly believe he would have scored at will against that guy from ISU. He had been listening to others in his ear. MAW? Others? who knows. He just didn't seem to be listening to CWM and there was no leader in the locker room to straighten him out. Hopefully DS or JJ becomes that voice.Brent Wyrick
