My understanding is that an international players have to go through a collective in order to reap NIL benefits.
From AT’s twitter, he is pursuing both transfer portal and NBA evaluation.
There’s a small chance of anything. There’s also a chance one, or more, of these guys is looking at their phone and asking “where’s the 805 area code?”. The fact they waited this long, right up until the new coach seemingly is about to be announced, feels like their choice to enter is being made because of the new coach.
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
