Apologies if already asked/answered, but let’s say CoHawk pulls out of the draft and is on the table. Would there be a similar situation to over sign like the plan was for Domask where someone would cover his NIL. I understand Coleman has said he wouldn’t play in the Big Ten but he also...

Unfortunately I think the price is right too. However, I hope there is a bad taste still in his mouth that they never really recruited him out of high school
