It seems like Kansas might have the NIL game down a little better than IU does? We struck out last year, and this year, we've whiffed on a handful of kids. We did get Ware, but I wouldn't say the competition for him was overly stiff, for some reason, despite his talent and high rankings.
Kansas, in the last couple years, has gotten some really good and sought after transfers. Namely McCullar and Dickinson, but also Timberlake, who we were after fairly hard early on.
Mgbako isn't a transfer, obviously. But his late recruitment, after opening up from Duke, gives it that sort of dynamic and vibe.
My heart is on IU...my money would be on Kansas with this one. I doubt KU has any more money than IU does, at this point, but they sure seem to know how to use what they have better than we do.
