Could Basile have chosen to stay for some NIL money?

Sure. But if VT were willing to pay that kind of money to influence someone to stay/come to VT it could be spent more efficiently elsewhere. Kidd and Poteat have been more than fine. Basile was never going to play the 4 and if he had, it would look a lot worse than the last 2 games. Literally not one other player has been influenced by NIL to leave

Buzz was willing to do whatever it takes, from what I’ve heard

NIL and portal prevent keeping high star talent, and developing 3*s.**

I’m saying in general for any program everywhere that wants to develop **

Maybe, but I don't think the portal is luring our desirables away...

Yep, that hurts system teams like VT, UVA, etc. And, helps Duke, Kentucky..

The other thing you see is the elite recruiting programs
