Luigi Suigo Part Deux

[Middawg]

I sifted through some pages on the young man, some thoughts.


1. One page stated he was 7'3" without shoes, there was some variance though. 245 lbs so he's not a twig like Chet Holmgren.

2. He's a willing 3 point shot taker.

3. Maybe not the most fluid player on the perimeter, probably still smoothing out some rough edges acclimating into his big body.

4. Runs the floor well.

5. He will be 19 next Jan. Seems like a perfect reclass candidate.


Anybody know when his current Pro teams season ends?

I couldn't find that info and know nothing of European ball.

Feels like if this young man wants to dip his feet into college basketball this Fall for a million plus in NIL, that IU would be the perfect and most suitable landing spot this summer, with a likely available roster spot, (Leal).

He's visiting for 2 days after visiting Purdue on Monday, so I think there is something going on along the lines of his reclassification to play next year. He probably is already under contract next year, so that would need to be worked out with the pro team that has it.

I don't claim to know the details, but there's also stuff to work out with NIL. Foreign nationals are restricted from getting paid while on a student visa or some such. Money has to come from their home country I believe.

How do they handle it with pro players? In the NHL especially, there are a lot of Canadian and European players.

Maybe just more leverage to remove "student" from the requirements to be a player on a college team.

You answered your own question.

The pro players that come here to play on pro teams have no problem.

He is a pro player coming here to play college ball.

I think it depends on the type of visa he enters on. Student visa vs work visa

I believe NIL, you are correct, but they can be paid rev share no problem. So that's how you work around that now.

They are all pro players now....beginning with the Anthony Leal's of the world and it goes up from there. You couldn't buy a college athlete a ham sandwich 10 years ago....now you have to pay sponsor him with one.

Is Sig Suigo still coming for a visit tomorrow? Anyone with any up to date info?

 

[Imsowyctcwuzbetta]

Suigo arrives at Indiana this afternoon and his IU official visit runs through Thursday morning. He is currently a class of 2026 prospect.

 

[iubirdman]

Like the fact that it is a 2 day visit

Sounds like a bigger Ivan Renko.

He’s bigger than Ivan in height only. Ivan had extremely broad shoulders, second only to those of Dean Garrett. Plus, Renko exhibited “thunder thighs” more typical of Yugoslavian backcountry’s plow horsing gene pool.
