[QUOTE="Gonzo, post: 2273308, member: 814"]
Two questions/observations on Staats. One, how much money do MLL players typically make? I thought it was something around $20K, thus requiring all but the marquee names who get decent endorsement money to have full-time jobs in addition to the MLL. Even if he also played in the indoor league, it would not add up to nice money. So where is the motivation to skip a four-year college degree to go pro? Even if he would be the number one pick, lack of visibility/name recognition from failing to play D1 ball would not exactly enhance is endorsement potential either. Thus it would seem more logical if all this is true (I could be missing something), that he would opt for SU or another top D1 program next year. And second, as for the chance he would go to UAlbany, if this would be his choice, why not have gone there already. I certainly do not know his academic situation, but my understanding is that while SU will not admit kids from the reservation schools directly, UAlbany generally does, and this has given them a leg up on the Iroquois recruits.
