Question. Does transitioning from a D11 to D1, is there an adjustment to recruiting higher level players?

---

Just look at what Drake did (Ben McCollum). Coach was D2 for Northwest Missouri State and won 4 National Champs with them. This is his resume:

Four of his current roster out of 15 are former NW Missouri St.

He makes 275k at Drake?

Thats what Im seeing.

Hope we can get that kind of deal. That's a great salary for this level.

I think Carthel has made good adjustments. The only game (2024) that I REALLY question is McNeese. Watched it first hand.

After the McNeese game I felt like we looked like a competent outfit. If Carthel stumbles this year and slide to 6-6 or land about where we did in2024 , he's in trouble. That being said, I feel like his coaching style has shown that he's adaptable and will win. I want to see him string 2-3 highly competitive seasons together.

I created a new forum for everything related to the search in case it gets lost here. Lots of good stats thrown around.
