Last year, we had basically very few guys who could actually shoot the basketball and score. Since Gerry said this is his top priority — to put five shooters on the floor — he better get busy because I don’t see anyone right now who’s going to score real points for Siena‼️

The portal is open until May 1st (meaning players can enter until them). Let’s see where we are around Memorial Day in about 6 weeks. We do need guards and I believe the staff is working hard on that. They’ve only been on the job for less than 3 weeks. I heard only NIL budget for this year will be around $200K. It takes time to build it up. |

It takes time to build it up. Pretty sad we can’t get at least 1k Siena fans to give $500.00 each. That would be a good starting point. A school with top 100 attendance, at times as high 75 can’t get at least 500k is mind boggling. |

I don't think it works that way. I thought I heard all contributions are "general" and will be doled out as needed. I could be way wrong though

It sounded like McNamara got a commitment to a certain level of NIL for the Men's basketball program. If that is the case, I'm sure he didn't short-change the program. Let's see how it plays out.

The guy has been the coach for two weeks. |

I could be way wrong though It can be earmarked for men’s basketball just send Frank a note and he’ll make sure it goes towards MBB. I just sent in my $100. Now we only need 4,999 people to do that and we’ve got $500K! 😉 www.saintsmarchon.com/ |

Hopefully the site is changed to make that process easier, I’m sure many people are hesitating to give a donation because of that issue. |

Think a large part of NIL programs is to connect specific athletes to local businesses for sponsorship deals … these deals would lean heavy toward Siena basketball programs in this market … SAINTS Alive (school based fundraising) allows donors to earmark donations to specific program or general (all programs) |

It takes time to build it up. The budget is higher than that and growing…I think we will start to see a few real good commitments over the next 10 days. Let’s not forget we were the worse team in D1 last season. |

Saints alive goes to to the school. I’m not sure exactly what you were trying to clarify. Both can be specifically designated to a certain sport. |
