SNUB! LJ Cryer Signs with Golden State Warriors | GENIUS Yormark Lands Big 12 & PayPal Deal

In this episode, we dive into the exciting developments surrounding LJ Cryer's transition from Houston Cougars star to Golden State Warriors signee. We explore the potential for Cryer to follow in the footsteps of Steph Curry, examining his undrafted status and the opportunity that lies ahead. Parker Ainsworth offers a detailed breakdown of Cryer's Exhibit 10 contract, discussing its implications and the possibility of it evolving into a two-way deal. We consider how Cryer might benefit from the Warriors' top-tier coaching staff and what this means for his professional development. The conversation then shifts to the groundbreaking $100 million partnership between the Big 12, Big 10, and PayPal/Venmo. We analyze the far-reaching effects of this deal on revenue sharing models and how it might enhance the fan experience across these conferences. Our focus then turns to the world of college football recruitment, specifically the pursuits of five-star quarterbacks Keisean Henderson (HOUSTON) and Ryder Lyons (BYU). We compare their recruitment journeys and question the discrepancy in media attention between the two prospects. Throughout the episode, we consider how these various developments could shape the future of the HOUSTON COUGARS program and the broader landscape of college sports. We explore the potential ripple effects on recruitment strategies, financial structures, and competitive dynamics in collegiate athletics. Join us for an insightful discussion that connects the dots between professional opportunities, innovative partnerships, and high-stakes recruitment in the ever-evolving world of sports. 0:00 LJ Cryer signs with Golden State Warriors 3:35 Comparing Cryer to other drafted guards 7:42 Golden State as interesting fit for Cryer 11:19 Big 12 and PayPal partnership announced 15:24 Brett Yormark leading charge on PayPal deal 19:00 Comparing BYU and Houston 5-star QB commits 23:34 Similarities between Ainsworth and Lyons recruitments 27:41 Houston deserves more national media attention Be sure to follow and subscribe to Locked On Coogs to hear the latest on all things Houston Cougars, wherever you get your podcasts! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Rugiet150,000 men have made the switch →https://Rugiet.com/LOCKEDONCOLLEGEUse code LOCKEDONCOLLEGE to get 15% off your order!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.
