Reed Harris looks like he's getting some huge money to go to ASU, no surprise there.
Any news on Hayden Hanks from anybody in the know?
Link on how much Reed might be getting, and how it's structured? I honestly have no idea how it works, if it's multi year, if there are stipulations, injury clauses, etc.
Nothing is public as far as how much he is getting. Can only go off of what top 5 portal WRs are getting paid. It's easily $500,000 plus, I wouldn't be surprised if it is around $1million because he is regsrded as a top 15 portal player overall this year.

Sorry, but there’s no chance he’s getting as much as a 7th round NFL draft pick, which is about $1 million per year.

Most of the reported numbers are higher than what the players actually get.

Here is an interesting article about how much top players make for NIL positionally in 2025. Keep in mind, Reed Harris is a top 4 WR prospect this portal and is going to get top dollar.

As far as skill players go, Khan noted that running backs can earn between $400,000 to $900,000, wide receivers range from $500,000 to $1 million and tight ends can make $300,000 to $900,000.

He did a great job with our young DB’s especially getting them to play aggressively.

Thanks. So it sounds like these offers are always just for the upcoming year.,, no multi year deals, and is it true if they get hurt they don't get the $$?
Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Hope he helps get them back near the top of the conference.
If he's the only coach we lose it will be a successful retention job by Vigen.
Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

Chambers is already gone too to Iowa State. But that aside, if Greene is the only other coach we lose it will be an absolute miracle.

Yeah, forgot about him. Before I saw that news today I actually was wondering if he was even still on the staff this year. I hadn't noticed him on the sidelines in a while (in the booth?) especially compared to last year when it seemed like he was always with Tommy between drives.

From all available sources, ASU doesn't have anywhere near the NIL budget to pay a single guy a mill.

One of the GA’s got the CB’s job at Portland State.

I'm excited for Chambers. A job like he had here is only intended as a start into coaching. A year or two gig. Then off to a new place to learn from a new coach.
And CB coach to DC is awesome. Hope that they beat the griz. If things continue from this year they have the opportunity to have 2 or 3 losses only. Arizona is probably a loss. Incarnate Word..? And us hopefully. If they beat the griz everything else is really winnable.

I listened to an interview with Dane Steel this morning. Said he’s coming back. He also said the 2026 team meets for the first time next Wednesday.

Great news. Clearly the right decision for him for a number of reasons-- but even if he just wanted to maximize his market value that's more likely to happen a year from now. But I think given the local/family connections, there's a good chance we keep him all four years.

The news Dane would be leaving in the next 2 yrs would be the biggest shock I've ever had in my life and I've felt a lightning bolt's jolt while running across a farm yard in a downpour. The Steel family is grounded in Sheridan, WY, and has that admirable trait called loyalty. The honor of being a legacy player is not lost on them. In addition, his mother, grandmother, and Sheridan friends can then continue to drive 3.5 hrs on the interstate to Bozeman and watch Dane and Brock play every home game of their college careers.

At Portland State? Seems a bit optimistic.
