In response to nychoops
Well according to "The Athletic", Pitino had built up an NIL Pool for this year's team of $2-3 million.
"St. John’s had multiple collectives established last year, but the money didn’t exactly flow. The school estimated it ranked in the bottom third of the Big East in available NIL money. Then came Pitino. He estimates he’s spoken at or participated in more than 30 NIL fundraisers since taking the job. He set the goal of generating a pool worth roughly $2-3 million in available funds for this year’s team."
Dingle was one of his most sought-after transfers. I would think based on that budget that $300,000 would have been the floor for a top recruit. I will admit, though that I have no personal knowledge--I was told that by someone who claimed to know but as a lawyer, I admit that is not admissible evidence.
