He's a nephew of one of my classmates...says he's a good student. Quad-Cities need to be recruited more.

Moving forward it's a matter of whether or not these kids can get paid by the BIG MONEY conferences....and if they can't right out of high school, do they evolve their game enough to transfer and get paid down the road. Sad, sad state of affairs. Considering the loads of disposable income the BIG MONEY conference schools have the current state mid-majors should demand a ransom if the BIG MONEY schools attempt to schedule a game/need a game.....and I'm not talking about $1M....they should think bigger!
The one thing I think has to happen is that the school that steals a player from another school with NIL money should have to pay a percentage of the NIL money to the harmed school. 10%?
I'm not sayin' -- I'm just sayin'!

Love the idea, but the BIG MONEY schools would never agree to it and the NCAA has absolutely no power over anything.
Three players we offered on the same team!

I feel like the kids they brought in this offseason have the potential (you never know until you see them play) to be really good players. They've done this despite struggling, record wise, the past 3 seasons. It gives me quite a bit of hope to think of what this staff can do once they start winning, which I believe they WILL do this year.
