curious as to why none of these guys chose WT.
I think ASUpops might be right as well. They might have already signed a good transfer guy.

I would be willing to guess that most scholarships are part athletic, part need-based, and part academic.

the transfers there signing I am sure they are having to give them very good offers. I am not sure how you can sign the high school class they signed and then add 30-40 transfers on top of that. With those transfers you run out of money pretty quick. I hope the head coach knows what he is doing..
I have been in communication with someone who has first-hand knowledge of WT recruiting. They are being very choosy and looking for specific roster needs. This person stated that coaches check their emails daily. Players expressing an interest in WT are checked out and if WT is interested, those emails are followed up. I'm convinced Lynn and his experienced staff know what they're doing.

Blake Short just committed to CSU-Pueblo, it seems WT is just barely missing out on the guys they want. Perhaps being too picky? Or maybe they aren’t offering full rides for the guys who think they deserve one.
To further that thought I don't know that a guy who demands a full ath. Scholly is an asset to a d2 team instead of a liability.Last edited by Predatory Primates; 05-04-2023, 02:38 PM.

Getting Florida, AZ, GA, and TX guys to come to Kearney Nebraska tells you what you need to know about Lynn as a manager of recruiters.
That said, he firmly believes in controlling clock and running the ball. His recruitment has always reflected that. Getting a stud passer to sign up for that is a tough sell.
Not sure what O he plans to run, but history tells us his QB will have to run and game manage about 70 to 90% of the time.

Off course. Remember D2 scholarships can be cut up many ways. One full scholarship worth $20,000 could become ten $2,000 scholarships.
And like at Angelo, back when my boy played, sometimes you get top players that get little to nothing because their college is paid...i.e. military kids, Hazelwood, grants, other scholarships, etc.Last edited by ASUPops; 05-04-2023, 04:18 PM.

Not sure LSC offers more fulls, again just based off the player. I know a young man that was offered a full (all but books) at an MIAA 10 years ago.....not sure about nowadays.

Just all according to the player. If you have a D1 caliber play maker that WANTS to attend a DII school, he will get a full or nearly full scholly. No doubt about it. I believe most competitive teams have one or two of those guys. Other players earn more scholly money based off production and team need.

I can only remember either Dustin Vaughan or Keith Null ever getting a D2 full ride scholarship over the last 15 years at WT.
