Where will John Bol most likely to be chosen to be a first round draft pick for the NBA? Duke, or UE? Given the fact that he will face much tougher competition at Duke, I would bet his numbers would be a lot higher at UE, both rebounding, and scoring. Now, does the NBA give a chit about where a player plays? I doubt it. If Bol leads the MVC in scoring, and rebounding his senior year, he will get his first round pick no matter that he played at UE. Now, can he get a NIL in Evansville like he could in Durham, not bloody likely, and that might be something that will be in play as to where he wants to play. But he won't have his father in Durham either, and that might also be something that will come into play. We don't know that Marcus, and John where not a package deal when Marcus was offered the Assistant Coaches job. In my opinion he will be just as well off at UE than he would be at Duke. I've been wrong before, but it was so long ago that I can't remember it.

I'll bet that it all comes down to girls. We don’t stand a chance against the big state schools then lol Then he should go West like UCLA or USC. Nothing like I Wish They All Could Be California Girls by The Beach Boys. LoL

Awesome news. Players will be back on campus practicing by then.

Awesome story that talks about how John was “discovered” and how Marcus and his current high school coach got him to the states:

It’s all about relationships. If he and Marcus are very close and he clicks with the staff I don’t see why not!

Rags has said that you can be anything that you want to be, and get anything you want to get at the University of Evansville. Why would John Bol not want to come here where his guardian would be his coach?

Why would John Bol not want to come here where his guardian would be his coach? Playing devils advocate here: I could see draft analysts underselling his abilities if he were to simply dominate the MVC instead of dominating a P5 conference. School selection could be the difference between being a lottery pick or being a top 5 pick. They didn’t seem to penalize Ja Morant for his dominance of the OVC though, so hopefully that won’t be an issue, but if it comes down to us v 2 P5s in his top 3, I’m sure they will use the conference/schedule against us negatively.

Unfortunately the huge NIL $ will probably influence most young men that have the talent to attend Power 5 programs.

Unfortunately the huge NIL $ will probably influence most young men that have the talent to attend Power 5 programs. Probably pretty hard to turn down when you come from nothing. Hopefully we have some boosters that can step up for an NIL deal if he’s actually serious about considering us. I’d say this is our programs once in a lifetime realistic shot at a 5 star player. Hopefully we’ve got some extra booster money laying around wherever the Lickliter buyout fund came from.
