maybe FHSU doesn't have any scholarships to offer them, or maybe they want guys who will be with their program for 4-years, or maybe these guys don't meet the apparently strict academic standards at fort hays
Why wouldn't you take a guy who can come in right away and make an impact? I guarantee you that Baldridge could have started & earned big points for FHSU at 133 this year... Prater could have started at 149, Gilliland had a good shot at 149 as well... Why not take a sure thing & give your younger guys a chance to develope around proven talent? I think you'd be stupid to turn your back on people who already proved they have what it takes at the next level... I'm 100% sure it wouldn't hurt the practice room having them.
