Have "gun" will travel. I just googled that old TV series to make sure I remembered the title correctly. It ran for 257 episodes starting in 1957 and two of the top five cast regulars were Asian. Way, way ahead of it's time. HGWT was one of my all-time favorites. Richard Boone was cool. I had cards printed HGWT with my name. I was not aware of the Asian-American connection. It's good to hear.

Well, the Asian connection was tenuous because his Asian characters (Hey Boy - Kim, Tong and Hey Girl - Lisa Liu) were servants who never were addressed by name IIRC. Each was a collection of Asian stereotypes. A comparison would be saying that Tonto (Jay Silverheels) made the Lone Ranger more diverse by bringing in a native American.

Picturing two Asian actors in the top five when the show is googled in 2022 could reflect today's values. "Bachelor Father" featured Sammee Tong as Peter Tong, John Forsythe's houseboy. He is pictured second when I googled the cast. He actually had good dialogue and got plenty of laughs.

James Hong just got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
In many films and tv shows, the two I know him for are:' 1. The butler in Chinatown 2. "Cartwright Party of 4"!

I think somewhat related to the Transfermania gripping college hoops is the story of Dior Johnson, a top 50 Class of '22 recruit who just committed to Pitt. He attended 10 high schools in 4 years and verbally committed to Syracuse in 2020 and verbally committed to Oregon in 2021. Obviously he decommitted from both of the aforementioned universities. He also stated on social media that he would be one of the top guards in the country next season. Someone writing in a Syracuse blog said the Orange probably dodged a bullet on this one.

You can't make this up! He's decommitted from Tarleton (check out Twitter if you want confirmation of that). There's a photo of "Druzi" in the thesaurus next to "Head Case". What the hell was Carmody thinking when he brought this guy in? Nice little gym they have there. Wonder if HC's gym could have looked similar with some more chair backs.

I see that he has engaged an agent for his NIL initiatives

Per Verbal Commits, Ryan Wade has committed to Green Bay. I guess Worcester wasn't cold enough in the winter for him.

Scholarship (or some portioin thereof) or a walkon?
Smart move on his part if he's set himself up to pick up a master's degree at UWGB w/2 years eligibility left.
Especially given his performance at CMU (3 points in 84 minutes) was, shall we say, less than mediocre.

Kit mentioned that HC had lost two PL rookie-of-the-year tp the transfer portal. Presumably the sports were baseball and men's basketball. He alluded to the portal, and talked about a player receiving $10,000 annual NIL, and thought the value of a HC education was worth more than that.

But this is an interesting snapshot of what schools like HC are up against. A freshman at HC plays well and then East Overshoe State University reaches out and says here's a full scholarship to our school, guaranteed to start, and by the way our alum who owns Amalgamated Widgets will pay you 10K a year while you're here.

I am skeptical. No way a baseball transfer gets 10 G That leaves Luc. He may or may not start, but even if the Bonnies have some NIL bucks, Luc cannot be high enough on their totem pole to warrant 10 G

Is the St Bona coach good at player development? He may recognize that Luc has a lot of talent and physical gifts that, with teaching from a good coach, can really move him forward. The $10,000 (if Luc is the one receiving that) may end up being someone else’s money well spent. I think we’ll come to see that this was a very big loss for the Crusaders

The $10k from a local business or an alum/fund might be the standard payment for each player on the roster, depending on how crazy this is in upstate NY, with the better player(s) receiving more $$$

Kit did not mention the player's name, but he talked about this in the context of showing HC athletes the long-term value of an HC education, and that he wanted to grow football's mentoring program to other sports as well, as he considers the mentoring and networking a critical element in demonstrating long-term value.
He spoke about those players who believe they can get more playing time elsewhere, and those players will often leave via the portal. His focus is on the players HC wants to keep, and being able to show them the value of a HC education. (Athletes transferring from a school that provides no fin aid to one that does, was left unsaid, but he is increasing scollies.) And my paraphrasing, he referenced the situation of a young athlete suddenly having $10,000 of walking-around money, and that can be quite persuasive to a teen-ager who thinks mostly in terms of the here-and-now.

He may or may not start, but even if the Bonnies have some NIL bucks, Luc cannot be high enough on their totem pole to warrant 10 G Don't know, hoops, but 10K would not surprise me. The rumors are that Bona offered $75,000 to at least three of its graduating seniors to return. They all, supposedly, initially accepted. Subsequently, an unidentified party, or parties, offered them low five figures just to enter the portal. From there, they ended up with more lucrative deals. Osunniyi, their center, reputedly ended up with $300,000 from Iowa State. So Bona has some, if limited money. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Luc and their other D1 transfers were given NIL money of $10,000 or more. Probably more.

These sums being bandied about demonstrate the destructive insanity of the new world of NIL. Sadly it is only going to get worse

You know more than my guesses, which I just wanted to be right. The cesspool deepens.

The most surprising thing to me is that guys are being offered cash just to enter the portal. So much for name, image and likeness.

I attended the CAF presentation on Saturday. Listening closely, I believe he was referring to Luc and Wang as the Rookies of the Year lost to the transfer portal this year. Joe P left two years ago.
Regarding the $10,000 offer, my understanding it was a basketball player being recruited by HC. The decision came down to two schools, the other offered the NIL money, HC did not. The player decided for the money and not HC.
