Elite 100 Released - Year Ending

[Matt Witwicki]

I don't think the NCAA is really expecting randoms in the local area to show up for the game to the tune of more than 100 extra bodies. The amount of...

Coach did a great job with that program in a tough NAIA league. I've been waiting for him to get another shot at HC..glad to see that here....

[Matt Witwicki]

I think coaches have recently it will make a lot more sense (if they know they are gonna lose the guy) to help them out and be supportive..versus being...

[Matt Witwicki]

I'm waiting to see more NAIA and D3 guys move into D2. Seems like that would be the next thing..naturally.

[Matt Witwicki]

If that's the pricing, this will be a value compared to other leagues..honestly. Most are like $10 a game if you wanted to just watch one..or maybe it's...

[Matt Witwicki]

Here's the big difference there....the D2 is played in a stadium that fits 12,000 whereas the D3 fits 23,000 and looks all the worse when they have 2400...

[Matt Witwicki]

Where the D2 is played isn't a problem for our level. If you've been down there, it's a fantastic facility and right-sized for our top game.

My guess....$15 to $20 a month....

[Matt Witwicki]

It's my understanding that the schools will have revenue sharing with this like the MIAA and others do..which could mean 20 to 30k back to each school..which...

[Matt Witwicki]

With some schools like Iowa State having a fair amount of guys heading to Penn State (with the HC), they are needing quality bodies that have been proven...

Colorado Mines. They had let go of their DC....

Another USF player gets in the portal also..confirmed on Caden's twitter feed a day later.


Sioux Falls OL Caden Maas plans to enter...

[Matt Witwicki]

He might wanna make his decision sooner than later..considering all the D1 guys who will be thrown into the pool in 48-72 hours....

[Matt Witwicki]

This certainly will hurt the Wolves. He's off to Gardner Webb with the UTPB HC in the FCS world. The NSU offense got a shot in the arm with him this...

[Matt Witwicki]

I mentioned him on twitter the other day when he made some nice grabs. He's got a nice upside and seemingly will continue to become more part of the...

[Matt Witwicki]

When we drum up the Elite 100 we use the national stats database (NCAA stat page) like pretty much all the all american teams would for stat analysis....and...

[Matt Witwicki]

I think you could make a case that we was a top 5'ish defender in D2 this year..considering how he covered ground for strong squad....

[Matt Witwicki]

I'm sure the RMAC coaches had good reasoning to put one guy over the other..but for us punting is pretty straight forward in how we look at it.

This is our annual All-Star squad..we call it our Elite 100....

[Matt Witwicki]

Well..that part gets kinda spendy..between flights, hotel for 3 nights or whatever, rental car, food, etc.

I did not drive this time..direct...
