YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: YSU to Name Ethan Faulkner MBB Coach!

He'll play over seas and make some decent cash.  Very versatile .  Can handle the ball and his 3 point shooting will probably get better in Europe.   One of the best rebounders in YSU history.  Love his effort and ethuiasm,

I can’t see him cracking the NBA roster as suggested by others.
Antonine Davis is still in the D league. K. Perry is still playing in Europe. Those 2 guys were first team Horizon league players.

Burns’s strength is in rebounding. How many 6’6” guys that we know of is effective in rebounding in NBA? Charles Barkley probably was the best 6’6” guy ever in rebounding, but that was 30 years ago before all these 6’10” guys starting to show up.

Burns is an ideal player for Europe…. Good with ball handling , good 3 point shooter, good ft shooter, good rebounder with quickness, timing & positioning.

The author made two very clear points: we lead the Horizon League in NIL and we are 13th in all of DI in NIL. Perhaps his information is inaccurate, but that is the meaning that he was trying to convey.

I believe the first assertion. Keep in mind that the Horizon League largely consists of schools located in big cities. In those places, the sporting public follows the professional teams or perhaps a nearby DI power. Only alumni care about their Horizon League sports programs. Conversely our business community loves to support YSU athletics (and the tax breaks that come with their donations.) I expect that we will always lead the Horizon League in NIL.

The statement that we are 13th nationally in NIL is so odd that it can probably be dismissed. Do keep in mind however that NIL has nothing to do with our athletic budget. It is private payments and sponsorship opportunities that go directly to our athletes.

Burns too small and not enough talent.   He was good for us but overseas better option

There's no way DJ Burns is NBA material

We are  not 12th in NIL.  I looked it up.  We are near the bottom for athletic budget for all sports for D1.  I don’t know what that writer was referencing.

It reads like he’s trying to say 12 in the league, but if I’m not mistaken, we do not have 12 teams at this point in the league

Looks like we offered a high school junior a scholarship from Virginia.   Trey Henderson.
