Pretty crazy the run of WR we've had recently.
Wigs -> Owen -> Chase
If Chase stays next season, he's going to smash records.
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.
Indeed.
Though I'm not sure we can compete with Mizzou or even Ohio State if they come calling and want to see if he can replace Tate.
It will take at least $300K to $400k. We don't have that for one player.
Do you have anything to substantiate Hendricks would be a sure bet 300k player somewhere? Any data source to back up this conjecture?
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.
