5-star Nate Ament attracts Louisville fans’ $29,510 for new NIL app

No. 4 ranked uncommitted prospect and the top prize in the class of 2025, Nate Ament, has partnered with a new NIL app called Fanstake. In that app, fans pledge at least $25 to collectively attract a player to their school. Louisville fans are leading, raising over $29,000 to get a five-star small forward to commit.

To bet, fans pledge $25 but pay only if the player commits to their chosen school. If the player chooses another school, only winning pledgers are billed. Cardinals fans raised $29,510, significantly more than Duke's $4,850 in second place.

Ament is one of the first high school stars to sign up with the app as part of an NIL deal, though the idea of fans trying to pay their favorite prospects to their favorite schools through an app did raise a lot of eyebrows.

Ament has already cut down his prospects to just the final eleven schools. These are Alabama, Arkansas, BYU, Duke, Georgetown, Kansas State, Kentucky, Louisville, Notre Dame, Tennessee and Texas.

Which school has the highest chances of landing Nate Ament

Several schools are considered favorites to land the five-star small forward.

On3 is considering Duke to be the favorite to land Nate Ament at a 23.3% chance, who has already visited the school more than once. Should he choose to go to Durham, he will team up with fellow five-stars Cayden and Cameron Boozer, the Boozer Twins.

In second place is Tennessee, which Ament had also previously visited, with On3 putting the school at a 15.4% chance of recruiting him. This is followed by Louisville, another school he has visited, which has fans really wanting him to choose, as shown by how much Cardinals fans have been pouring into him on Fanstake. The school has a 13.2% chance of recruiting him.

Meanwhile, several teams are considered dark horses when it comes to getting him, particularly BYU, where the No. 4 ranked prospect has a chance to team up with the No. 1 ranked prospect, AJ Dybatntsa.
