Olajuwon's don't need NIL money.
----------------------------------
Update: BobK seems to have a problem with the accuracy of my post. The inescapable conclusion to be reached is that a family with financial resources is less likely to be motivated by financial considerations whether it comes from NIL or not. This was a post to celebrate a great recruiting effort, not an exercise in accounting or grammar.
BTW: I should not have used an apostrophe when referring to the Olajuwons. It was not possessive, it was plural. Spellcheck.
I will be more judicious in the accuracy and grammar in any of my future posts or replies.

The NIL went to Stanford to pay its Athletes.

Great job by Coach Smith and his staff. I loved Haase's ability to recruit talented names, and Smith seems to be keeping that train on track as well. I hope Aziz falls in love with Stanford the way we did and has an amazing career there.

I hope someone is paying income taxes on NIL-earned money.

"The Dream Jr" is a great get for Coach Kyle! Congratulations!
Perhaps he can get one Maxime to talk to another Maxime about making the Lifetime Cardinal Decision and let Aziz work on him as well. I really like what Kyle is trying to do with this program. It might be time to go back and buy season tickets after my Haase Hiatus due to deMuir delays.

Does Clyde Drexler's son Adam have any eligibility left? :-)
We could found a Stanford chapter of Phi Slama Jama.
