Fantastic accomplishments by these young men and the teams they play on. "Career records" are becoming more and more situational with expanded seasons. Even in the MAC, the top two teams are guaranteed 14 games.

Jim Brown's records are a case in point. 118 games, 106 rushing touchdowns, 5.2 yards per carry and an average of 104 yards per game.

Compare that to Emmitt Smith, the all time yards rushing leader and he played 226 games, 164 rushing touchdowns, 4.2 yards per carry and an average of 81 yards per game.

I'm not going to pretend to have any clue on OUr NIL situation but we need to make a huge play at retaining #7. Whatever our best offer is, we need to give it to him.

As much as I'd like to see him stay, I felt like that big TD in Columbus doomed us to losing him. Plus, I believe he was recognized at Senior day (even though he's listed as a RS Junior on the roster). I'll also be surprised if we hang on to Mason Williams. Kid's a stud TE ala Kacmarek, maybe with better hands.

Oh yeah, Mason is gone. Solid player. Great hands. We don't utilize the TE very much. Good luck at Cincinnati or something.

Chase leaving would be a huge risk regardless, but a bigger risk than playing without Parker? We've got bigger fish to fry at the moment, but I hope (and I doubt) Tim/Hype are getting some reps with the 1's here and there trying to establish some sort of report cause I think that will be the key to keeping him. Faith in a young QB.

I think Ohio State could dangle some quick cash, potential to replace Tate, and line-up next to a Top 5 pick. That may never come to fruition, but the idea of doing it...? Hell, I'm excited for him. (sad)

It will take at least $300K to $400k. We don't have that for one player.

You really think OSU would shell out that much for Chase Hendricks?

I hope and pray he stays but I see no chance. He is so good and he will get a mega deal. I wouldn't hold it against him.

I would be shocked if he stays too, but wouldn’t hold it against him if he leaves. Would love to see him get drafted.

Carnell Tate is pulling in around $1.5M (from 11 Warriors, likely some random projections)

If you're looking for his replacement, paying $300-$400K for a proven commodity, 60 miles down the road, even if OSU has a lot of studs in the building, isn't a far leap for them. Especially if you have a young QB, who of course is good, but bringing in a steady senior to elevate your championship aspirations?

I've said it many times before, but we're offering playing time, other schools are offering straight cash homey. $300K to them on a $20M roster is a rounding error.

He's gonna have a lot of suitors, many teams could throw out $100K just to get him on the roster, no PT guarantees, where even that feels like a tremendous stretch for us.

He's spent much of his career with Brian somewhere in the building, but it comes down to this; Rebuild here with a new QB, or go make six figures with a new QB. Doesn't sound real good for us when you put it that way. [/QUOTE]You're agreeing with me because you are are saying Hendricks could be worth anywhere from 1.5 million to 100k on the open market. With the P4 its a $20M revenue share + 3rd party NIL. Texas Tech spent $55M and bought themselves a team. In the G5, UNLV I believe is the ony one at the full $20M this year and it bought them a high level G5 team.

The question then I would have is how much do P4 programs spend on retaining their rosters, the guys they want not the washouts? Are freshman getting revenue share or are they expected to walk in with 3rd party NIL deals? This all appears to be a very inexact science at this point in time.

Based on this article a quoting a SEC GM it sounds like the going rate is 700k to 800k for a #1 receiver at a SEC school. This should be realistic for an all-MAC type receiver.

Wide receiver: $400,000-$800,000

Personnel staffers and agents were fairly aligned when it came to how they perceived the wide receiver market. A true No. 1 receiver costs $700,000 or more and could be worth up to $1 million in some cases. Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith is an extreme outlier, a generational talent worth so much more than $1 million.

"If you want a guy with any production, it started at $700,000 to $800,000," one SEC GM said.

The next tier of wideouts, quality No. 2 and No. 3 receivers and starters, were typically valued at closer to the $300,000 to $500,000 range depending on their experience and production.

UMASS should be a nice day to break some records.

-Chase needs 143 yards to go over 1,000 for only the 4th time in OU history.


-Sieh needs 73 yards to crack 1,000. 1,100 would move him into 10th place all-time single season.

With 91 yards he will have over 3,000 career yards, Top 5 all-time.


-Parker already 10th all-time in career rushing TD, 9th in career passing TD - more will just move him up the list.
