Christopher Brown is the player...I have provided all the information I had. Not sure what else I can give you man, it's not like I know how much the DIII teams had put into him.
I'm just saying I'm surprised at how much effort that it would actually take for an upper level DI team to sign a guy over DIII regardless of what the DIII have put in the guy.
GT came in and grabbed a guy I'd been working on, as well. I wasn't able to invest any HVs, because I'd already used my budget, so I was vulnerable. That was apparently his strategy, and it worked for him, at least in terms of getting these particular players. I don't know about Brown, because I didn't scout him, but my guy was not a guy I would have invested anything in (hence why I didn't have any HVs to spend). He valued the recruit more than I did, pure and simple. As you pulled even with the A+ D3, and ahead of the A, I'm guessing you would have overtaken them both in time for signing, had the confounding factor of other D1s willing to spend more not come in to play.
