Money talks...... High profile safety that played well at FCS. Lots of tools to make that next step with 3 years left.. Any money these players are being offered is more than what we have been able to offer. They feel they have to provide for their families and any amount of money is "big money" in their eyes.
Yea Ganter isn't getting any money. All this awards and one season of play shows is he is worth adding for depth in hopes he will contribute in the future. He will have to earn play time and a starting spot.
While I agree, many players are leaving and just sitting in the portal, huge numbers sitting there previously (more than 40%) however most of our jumps into the portal have been money promised including this one. Lots of "agents" out looking to collect 20% of kids payoffs. As for "it's been a week" the paperwork pieces take time to clear before they can be announced.
I don't know what this "most" shit is you're talking about. Look at just this season.
From their social media.
Anthony James - 1 FCS offer from Stetson (FCS)
Bishop Blakely - Nothing
Jackson Cleaver - UTEP (FBS)
Kekoa Visperas - Tennessee Tech (FCS) I heard he got $20k
Luke Womack - South Dakota State (FCS)
Marcellus Honeycutt Jr - CSU-Pueblo (D2)
Bret Fullington - Montana Tech (NAIA)
Jaylen Garrison - Nothing
Nick Adimora - Nothing
Tuna Altahir - Stanford (FBS)
Michael Wortham - Montana (FCS)
Derek Ganter - Boise State (FBS)
All I heard is Visperas got $20k from a car dealership and he was literally our starting QB and the most accurate QB in the FCS.
I have no idea how Tuna ended up at Stanford being a very mediocre FCS running back. I doubt he got any money unless you count a Stanford degree which has its own worth.
Maybe Montana threw a few dollars at Wortham since Bobby Hauck does like his special teams.
It's not all money, Eastern is a dumpster fire now. If we could offer them a winning team that garners national attention with deep playoff runs and beating FBS teams like we did before, most of these players would stay. When the ship is sinking any offer seems good, even is the offer is just from a better FCS team.
