    This isn’t NIL. This is pay for play. Let’s be real and call it what it is.

    I am being real. The contracts are for NIL. That’s all that matters with regards to this conversation. That is calling it what it actually is. If the colleges wanted employment contracts, they’d have them. Most of the people funding this stuff want it to be for pay for play, but it isn’t. It’s pay for living in a certain area and being available to make appearances.

    Thinking you’re going to enforce a cap on something the courts have outright said you’re not allowed to cap is not being real.

    Anyhow...
    I was looking at highlights of AJ Brown and Ben Henshall on YouTube this morning. If we're getting one guy to be a wing/SF/guard to fill the Will Richard role, here's what I see...
    AJ has a very nice 3-point form and very deep range. He looks a little more SEC-ready, bodywise, than Henshall.
    Henshall also has a nice 3-pointer and very deep range. Needs a summer in the UF weight room. Probably a better passer and more offensive skills than AJ.
    Neither video I saw showed them on defense, just on offense, so no info there. Henshall is higher rated, FWIW. I think both these guys would do well at UF but Henshall has an NBA upside, I'm reading, whereas I don't see that kind of talk about Brown. Both are good 3-point shooters and excellent free-throwers.
