Nike has made a huge boom in the NIL game with the announcement that they are signing five basketball players, ranging from the high school to college level.

Among the five hoopers that they signed was Stanford's senior guard, Haley Jones, who helped lead the program to a national title in 2021. She was also named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player. The senior averaged 13.2 points and 7.9 rebounds per games last season, as Stanford made it to the Final Four.
