According to information gathered by our own Alessandro Maggi, Quinn Ellis is set to earn a NIL deal worth between $4.5 and $4.8 million to play at St. John’s<\/a> the 2026\/27 season.<\/p>\n

This is an extremely high figure, even by College Basketball standards\u2014although a recent study<\/a> points to a 65% increase compared to last year\u2019s NIL market.<\/p>\n

There are no official figures for every player, but several media outlets estimated that the richest NIL deal in 2025\/26 was around $4.2 million, received by top NBA prospect AJ Dybantsa.<\/p>\n

Ellis will undoubtedly be one of the leaders of the group coached by Rick Pitino. The decisive factor was a late push from St. John\u2019s, with Duke ultimately choosing not to match the offer.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old point guard will return to Olimpia Milan\u2014who still hold his European rights\u2014after the conclusion of the 2027 March Madness tournament.<\/p>\n
