What they don’t tell you about NIL⬇️

Everyone’s chasing the bag right now. And yeah, NIL money is a blessing — it’s changing lives. But here’s the part they don’t tell you: if you chase a check without thinking about fit, development, or opportunity, you might end up somewhere you were never meant to be. Somewhere you don’t play. Somewhere that breaks your confidence. Somewhere that turns the game you used to love into a job you start to hate.

I’ve seen it too many times — players going for the biggest offer, only to find themselves at the end of the bench, wondering what happened to the dream. The truth is, the money ain’t worth it if it costs you your love for the game. If it costs you your minutes, your growth, your peace.

Pick the school that fits you. Where the staff believes in you. Where you’ll have a role. Where you’ll be developed and valued. Because when you’re in the right place, you’ll thrive — and when you thrive, the money will follow anyway.

Don’t let NIL be the reason you fall out of love with basketball.
