I was surprised by the stats too. I watched his hs hudl highlights and was impressed. While a redshirt, He played with lattos and he must have passed open gym test.

the possible explanation that I could come up with for the seeming contradiction is that he was stuck in the wrong system for his skill set. Anxious to watch him in person.

Maybe you're right, but I can't tell you the last time WL brought in a transfer that hadn't been all conference at their previous spot or been a impact player. The probability of him succeeding at WL when he couldn't even see the floor at Northern Michigan is small, but hey let's give the kid a chance, lol.

… The probability of him succeeding at WL when he couldn't even see the floor at Northern Michigan is small...

I am somewhat more optimistic due to coach lamberti’s coaching acumen (30 under 30 award as an assistant) and lattos playing with him.
he must have impressed them in open gym against wlu players, for there is no shortage of impact player still hoping for an offer from wlu. But no one bats 1000 in recruiting.

A month or so ago on metro news sportsline, Kyle Wiggs (host) said during the interview for Fairmont job, Duane Osbourne said that he had talked with Gannon. They said to run with the big dogs a D2 school needs $150k-$200k in NIL.

hope some limits get set on nil.
