I think it may be a case of a player being overlooked because he was out of shape/overweight. Once he got to college, he gets nutrition and diet guidance. All of sudden that talent shows through as his physical conditioning improves. Now that he's in shape, he gets the attention of Power 5 coaches. Not sure about the athletes you mention above, but his story gives me hope that he might be the exception to this trend. Good for him

FWIW, someone ranked the incoming top 25 BIG transfers. Indiana showed 5 and Michigan 4 players. Bobby Durkin was ranked #22. At a glance, NU, R, PSU and Nebraska all drew blanks .

We need our players to get sponsorships on their jerseys. May I suggest Du Nord Vodka coaster night or Boston Scientific stent promotion night. Every jersey can have custom decals and sponsors for different games. When you buy a jersey, you can buy a decal to go on it from your favorite sponsor and the money could go directly to the DTA. Each decal would incorporate Goldie plus the sponsors logo.

Rumor is another commit is coming and that we had some money to spend on this player. No idea who it is though.

In the State of excessive taxation the government always cries poor. It's only fitting that the mother school cry poor as well.

More helpful to list the athletic budgets of the Big Ten schools and then combine with a list of athletic budgets of the SEC schools.
