You’re also highly overrating total NIL money. He wouldn’t get near what he’d make on the first year of his rookie contract.

It's actually not about NIL money or his first year's salary in the NBA. It's about getting to a big second contract in the NBA a year sooner, if his camp believes that's in the cards for him.

I think if you are projected top2-7 its also about the first contract. If you go 10 or 18 the money isn't much different. The second contract sooner is also huge, but he could play well and go 13/14 next year instead of top 3 and its a difference of $10M+

If he stays it will be a bad financial decision but also might make him the happiest so... live your life Reed. Having grown up as a fan of the program I would get it if he went back. Most of the time I think its dumb but its part of his fabric as a person and he can make a bunch of money while pursuing one of his dreams.

Do they have a good incoming recruiting class? That also would factor into my decision if I was Reed.

He goes back to school and proves himself as a lead guard he has a higher chance of going to a team who will develop him as such, meaning chance at a bigger payday.

Doesn't have to be more, but it's enough to convince someone to stay if they love the situation. Plus he gets to build his brand more, which will undoubtedly grow more in value at Kentucky unless he gets to a major market.

Just bad timing. New coach, recruits de-committing, etc. I wouldn’t be shocked but I think it would be a mistake.
