I heard Henshall is looking to take a one-year college deal under a huge NIL arrangement, at Florida with the goal of trying to get drafted after that. Not sure how true it is, though- anyone else heard that?

Being a professional basketball player generally disqualifies an athlete from receiving an NCAA or NAIA athletic scholarship for college basketball. So I'd highly doubt this is true.

Honestly no idea if there is any change now that NIL is a thing, but I'd be surprised if so.

I thought all that got changed when it all went to court a few years ago. The great Andrew Gaze did it years back. I'm not saying the rumour is true but there is ways around it.

The new NIL rules essentially take out the playing pro component.
So long as he hasn't exhausted academic (lol I know) component , guys in this situation can go to college later now it seems.
It will be interesting what type of precedent it sets

Stumbled across a documentary on Gaze a while ago and remember him saying he didn't get paid in early days playing for Tigers. Not sure whether he earned anything playing basketball before his college stint?
Obviously things have changed since then

Yeh I heard in the ball pack of 500k he is being offered- this is all if he doesn't get drafted this seaoson. After this finals series performance last week, maybe this may be the best option now before declaring again.
