Is “the tourney” slang for more money?

Old news

Which is why he said how did I miss this.

Ummm, because he hasn’t been a part of our program for two years and he’s out of sight out of mind?

I don’t know about that… our players are doing pretty good with NIL.

Isn’t that why he left… mad about other players’ NIL when he was at UH?

NIL and he didn’t like how Sampson was using him. I think Tramon’s move from Arkansas to Texas was fueled by NIL and just wanting to leave Arkansas.

He ain’t a PG… Not on CKS’s teams or anywhere else.

I always liked him but I’ll take Sharpe & LJ at SG over him.

I think Tramon has had a good college career but I don’t see NBA pedigree in him. Let’s see how he does at Texas.

Living in Italy or Spain and playing basketball isn’t a bad 2nd option…

Yes financially. No from a peer respect perspective.

Had a kid I coached probably 15 years ago in HS.
Had high D-1 talent but issues got in the way.
Got it figured out and played very well at a smaller D-1 school.
Played parts of two-three years in g-league but was pretty far down in the pecking order.

His agent got him a spot in the Australian league….did really well.
Got a contract in the Italian league which was a big deal for him.
Parlayed that gig into a spot in the Turkish league.

In all he played 8-9 years….i don’t know exactly what he made but it was more than 5-6M….not bad.

Yeah Texas is a cash in opportunity. But he left here because he wanted the ball in his hands more and with Shead that wasn’t going to happen.
