Rashawn is again joined by his good friend Emmette Knuckles. This time they had a timely discussion on the financial value of the (mostly Black) NCAA recruit and player. We first talked about Emmette's uncle, Holman Harley, and his experience as a West Virginia recruit in the 80's. His uncle was also instrumental in helping Tim Duncan pick Wake Forest when he was deciding on where to play -- Emmette tells that story as well. We break down the worth of the college athlete based off a study by USF professor Richard Borghesi, discuss the trend of top players heading to HBCUs, talk about student-athletes being able to make money off their likeness and celebrity and also discuss if the G-League could be a viable option as a minor league system for the NBA.
One of my favorite episode to date. Enjoy!
