Ignite might end up being the place where top 50 guys go after they already committed to a college and switch to Ignite late for whatever reason (realizing lack of minutes, NIL not as good as they were promised and so on). If Karter Knox ends up at UK, Ignite is going to be going into next summer with 0 top 100 players for next year's class.
Once college introduced NIL and once the numbers started coming out and people realized how much football and basketball stars were making, I feel like that took a ton of wind out of the sails for Ignite.
Best domestic route is college. I think the best overall route is over seas professional league. Ignite just doesnt offer enough for it to be worth it anymore.
they already have Dink Pate who is considered a lottery talent and Dybantsa, Tre Johnson, Asa Newell and I'm sure many others have made Ignite visits or mentioned it as a possibility. Also, don't discount kids de-committing from college and choosing Ignite.
