Don't have a full understanding of how it works but I believe TSM, Clarke, Noll and Maidoh were all NIL guys so theoretically that opens a good amount of NIL money for Geno to use in the portal. Assume Fitz will get a TSM level deal to stay.
He's already done 6 college years, including a redshirt and graduate season. I'm pretty sure his graduate season was also his COVID season. If not, do you want a seventh-year senior?
2018-19: redshirt
2019-20: 12 games
2020-21: 5 games (injury redshirt)
2021-22: missed entire season (redshirt)
2022-23: 33 games
2023-24: 35 games
Even when we got him as a graduate transfer from Stanford, he had only played 32 minutes on the court. He was at Stanford as a student for 4 years but only played in 2 of them, and one of those was an early season-ending injury. This year was only his 3rd "full" season.
