I’d imagine he is getting good $ to come back, definitely risky though on his part.selfishly, really happy. Just hope it doesn't hurt his chances on Sundays in the future. Next year's team is starting to look strong. GS must have built a strong culture of players that want to finish the job.

I was not allowing myself to think that he'd be coming back for 2024......and wondering what RU would be doing for offense next Fall.with the current state of college sports (free agency/ NIL) PLUS the possibility of him declaring ,,, this is the biggest football related news of 2023 - this is so much bigger than if RU got some huge top-rated recruit. we know what he is capable of and that he will produce in 2024 (you never know what a recruit will do particularly his freshman year in FB or even a top-rated transfer for that matter - sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesnt ). this is huge news
I don’t understand. Football is risky anyway! All the greats played all 4 years and then dominated bowl games and got drafted first round. Are kids softer now? I don’t think so. I applaud him for showing he’s not worried about getting hurt. Tough kid. Gonna me a monster next year.I’d imagine he is getting good $ to come back, definitely risky though on his part.
kids are softer but that is not the issue with returning players. The issue is the amount of money they could potentially lose if they get hurtI don’t understand. Football is risky anyway!

I say it all time, every situation/player is different. A combination made up of NIL, fit, opportunity etc..is different for every player. You run the gamut. Whether NIL is significant or not for football, who knows but whatever it is, it's enough for the leading B10 rusher to return.RU has to be getting significant corporate support on the NIL front. Between basketball and now football, I'm blown away by how well we're doing. I was worried that NIL was going to be our undoing. Instead, Pikiell and Schiano are thriving. Great stuff!
Wow, just wow! This is hugh and easily more impressive than signing a 5* RB recruit to a LOI later this month since he's such a proven performer. Congrats to the whole staff and NIL contributors for this and the retention of many other returning key contributors that could have moved on.I was not allowing myself to think that he'd be coming back for 2024......and wondering what RU would be doing for offense next Fall.
Now I've got a big smile on my face and am looking forward to September. 😎 😎😎
Any commentary on why? 1000 yards and one of the best blocking running backs I've ever seen. I'm not sure why he wouldn't rank higher.On all 2023 draft projections I saw for RB they don't even show KM's name in top 20. TreVeyon Henderson and Coram around top .

There’s no program favoritism in the NFL. Too much talent across the league and to pressure to win to take lesser prospects instead.No he doesn't get mentioned one way or another. I think its the favoritism over the big name teams. A guy like Corum gets a lot of TDs because Michigan has a top OL and red zone offense.
Ohio's TreVeyon Henderson is at top of many draft lists. He hasn't gone over 1k since 2021 but he had 11 TDs this year. KM only has 7 TDs but that's because of Greg's FG heavy red zone offense.
Rice went in 2nd when he should have gone in the 1st and I learned not to take draft too seriously because teams eff-up all the time.

Love this. Wonder if this has any impact at all on Brown. Does he want to be a backup for another year?
Let me help you understand. Before =$$. Now=$$$$.I don’t understand. Football is risky anyway! All the greats played all 4 years and then dominated bowl games and got drafted first round.

I would doubt anyone ponied up 750k in NIL for him to return. What I see is-it's good news for us, but also a clear indication he's not considered a notable NFL prospect. Impressive college production but doesn't have the NFL measurables or versatility.
We can assume his NIL is higher than UDFA pay.
Greg absolutely did . When he was hired 3 years ago there was no doubt in my mind his culture would be top notch .selfishly, really happy. Just hope it doesn't hurt his chances on Sundays in the future. Next year's team is starting to look strong. GS must have built a strong culture of players that want to finish the job.
It’ll be by committee. Brown will get his.I doubt he wants to drop a level, which based on 2023 would be necessary for a guaranteed start.
reasonable, but you know where I stand on Schiano promises. The offense is a hot mess without a credible passer because of that and I hope that promise didn't happen. I'm closer to 90 than 20 and I bet I can throw a short screen pass with more touch and accuracy than GW, maybe even left handed too. Not kidding.I would doubt anyone ponied up 750k in NIL for him to return. What I see is-
He is a RB and current draft grade- most likely a priority UDFA...that is a rough go for anyone.
So, maybe he gets a lower 6 figures to come back- but he is a very smart kid - Ivy offers, and knows the very short NFL career for RB's.
2 things most likely driving this- have back to back years like this year, plus, a promise from Greg that he becomes more of an option in the passing game. and equally important- getting his degree if he does not already have it, and if he does, get credits toward his masters.
He will most likely have a private career 7-8 times longer than an NFL career.
It’ll be by committee. Brown will get his.
Who knows. I guess we will soon see. My initial thought was 'oh, i wonder if brown would transfer?' I think brown 2 seasons ago before getting injured was playing very well and could start for other teams at this level. This year he didnt get a whole lot of opportunities (whether thats because of not being 100% or KM just playing too well) so with Kyle coming back I can't imagine the plan in KM's mind would be to spread it around even more than what they did last season. Which leads me back to the idea of wondering how this will impact Brown.It’ll be by committee. Brown will get his.
Always sounds good from the computer. I said it before- when I was in my 30's and playing ball in the back yard or flag football.reasonable, but you know where I stand on Schiano promises.

I'm closer to 90 than 20 and I bet I can throw a short screen pass with more touch and accuracy than GW, maybe even left handed too. Not kidding.
