Eckhaus is in the portal...

...or testing the waters to see what he's worth in the marketplace.

Hey, I'd do the same thing.
Here's a thought...

If you haven't been contacted by someone with NIL money to give you, then the market has pretty much already told you what you're worth (as to NIL money.)

These kids seem to be missing the idea that there is value in stability and staying the course. If he goes to a P4 school he's probably sitting, and if he goes G6 what is he leaving for? PT?
 
Didn't Aaron Gordon play at a JC? He'd have one or two years of eligibility left.

Could probably feel in some DTs and WRs as well with old JUCO alums.

Here is another thought...

He could have been recently contacted (post Holiday Bowl) by a school or two which made him an offer after watching his performance. Oklahoma may be looking for another backup QB. 😆

Have to think WSU is the favorite for Gronowski, the reigning FCS player of the year from ... South Dakota State. That's one benefit of hiring Rogers and him bringing his entire staff.

Yeah I’d have to assume this is Cam Ward/JDL part 2. Hats off to Zevi for not quitting though and going off in the bowl game.

Yeah this is pretty obvious on all counts. For Zevi, he goes from Mateer bailing (good for Zevi), to us hiring a JV coach who will of course bring his own QB (bad for Zevi). So off he goes. I'm glad he got his chance to show his wares at the Holiday Bowl.

Now this brings up an interesting point. Just how much does Gronowski and Rogers think the WSU Collective will shell out for Gronowski, given that we had a (likely inexpensive or free) bird in the hand with Zevi? Don't forget that schools can also start paying players in the 2025 season (unless my signals are crossed, which is highly unlikely).
 
Rogers is being mocked on here for being a cheap hire and called a JV coach after going 27-3 and winning a National Championship, yet Dickert is revered for finishing 13-11 the past 2 seasons with two of the best QBs in college football.

This board never disappoints.
I thought you were leaving the Board? And yes it was the Mighty Loyal One who referred to Rogers as a JV coach. FBS = Varsity. FCS = JV. And don't put that and Dickert being "revered" in the same sentence. I never said that.

One thing that hasn't really been mentioned is that prior to the Rogers hire, his name came up exactly nowhere in any list of possible HC's put forth by any media source. Feel free to research this. If I'm incorrect, I will gladly say so. But you better provide an actual link.
 
Gronowski will have a lot of options, it will probably come down to a balance between dollars and relationships. Zevi's performance in the Holiday Bowl just earned him a couple hundred thousand or more. The future starting QBs at WSU will be making more than most professors, I don't have a problem with that, but I can assure you a lot of people will.

When they are making more than most of the donors (95%+ estimate), that's problematic too.
