Before Hawkins arrived it seemed we landed a lot less 3-star recruits, they were typically all league and often had MVP awards, accolades, big numbers, etc. Gould had some 3 star guys, mostly studs, and most bounced.
Not negative. I don't understand the hype (stars) for players with very limited PT, but if he wins the starting job, great. Keelan Doss missed his junior year in HS w an injury, FBS schools had allocated all their schollies, and Coach Gould landed him. But Doss had solid sophomore and senior seasons.
A quick search says WSU football has $1M, but the goal is to get to $10 Million. That's a massive jump, I don't see how, unless they're including conference monies.
