This exactly why I'd like to hear how Smitheran and the new coach plan on approaching NIL for LB State as a whole and the MBB program (in terms of the program approach). SDSU has an overall NIL collective for athletics and it affects MBB (Mesa Foundation). Obviously, it's working for them. I'm interested to hear if LB State's strategy gets a refresh.
Again, the Men's Volleyball collective at LB is already looking a step ahead.

Of the 3 transfers listed for LB I think L Traore has a chance for NIL money because: he's 6'10". he can rebound, and he can shoot well enough. Can he play good enough D in a P5 conference?
AJ George as a soph will be getting good NIL offers as he has a high BB IQ, he can score, rebound, and play tough D.
No school may give them the large NIL offer they desire and there is an outside (small) chance they stay after a new coach is named at LB.

"There is expected to be significant turnover on the roster with the coaching change and presumably a whole new staff."
Presumptious, knowledgeable? Unsurprising if true. Any of the remaining 3 who stay I'd be pleasantly surprised. Still on AJ in the portal
