I've heard that Nuke Hayes is the most dynamic WR after the catch the Gophers have and it isn't close. The battle this spring/summer will be fascinating between Smith, Tracy, Coleman, Hayes, and the young guys. I think Coleman might come out on top with another offseason in the weight room.
I’m sure it is slim compared to the top of the B1G and Sec.
I think they bring in however many is needed to fill out the roster. There’s no rule saying you have to pay them all.
Where are you hearing that? I don’t think it’s really public knowledge. To be fair Williamson and St. Juste probably wouldn’t have commanded much NIL at the time they had transferred here considering their prior bodies of work.
Fair point. It seems there must be a way for them to get more impact from their transfers compared to last year. However, maybe last year wasn’t a money problem but more an evaluation problem.
My understanding is recruits are paid out of the revenue sharing and NIL is likely very little if anything at all, until they play. My understanding is Fleck really goes with a flat fee for all incoming HS recruits.
Revenue sharing has been in existence for roughly 6 months.
I think I've heard it in random podcasts over the last few months.
Ah yes, I've heard about the flat fee. I wonder how they're approaching high-need, high-level transfers then. For example I've heard d and o linemen is a very competitive transfer market.
That was grapevine information I got since the start of the season. Roughly $75,000 per incoming HS Player.
That makes sense because OL and DL are the hardest to evaluate and are typically red-shirted. Tons of G5, IVY, FCS, and D2 linemen move around as they prove their ability. MN has 3 guys starting for other teams this year with Vanderbilt, Northwestern and tOSU.
What a time to be a high level college athlete. Free ride to school and an additional $75,000 on top of that just for signing.
About what I make per year in my 25th year of teaching. I should probably go back to college and be a football player.
Feels like there is a flaw in that plan somewhere. Then again.....if you can punt......that does seem to be the position where some older players end up getting on the field.
Our district is drafting up their picket line signs. Kids might get an extended winter break in Anoka-Hennepin
So that multiplies to round numbers $2 million dollars of our $20 plus million bucket.
Like who, people that have already announced or more.
I’m not paying as close attention as I used to, but I’ve only seen a handful announce they are transferring out. Are the paywall boards saying more?
Just the ones that have announced, but looking at Iowa they have one on 247, Wisconsin zero, we have 9.
We are bringing in 31 recruits, they are bringing in 18 and 14. We need more to transfer out than they do.
Football is about 15-17M
I thought that was the slice from revenue sharing...$15M or so...then you got NIL which is supposedly doing very well.....$5 to $10M?
not bad for 8-9 months of work!
I have not gone looking for these announcements, the two listed are just the ones others had posted about. There certainly could be more.
