Not a whole lot, like 55k or something.
Brewster is a good recruiter, and this is why he was sought out by teams. He has that reputation anyway.
I know first hand about Brewster..he was NOT sought out by any teams. He is a classless self promoter and lied his way into the Minnesota job. In fact, he told them ISU had offered him a job and Minnesota jumped to hire him. In fact, Iowa State had NO interest in him and never contacted him even though he called them to promote himself for the job.
Why is he recruiting well? Because he is NOT TELLING HIS RECRUITS THE TRUTH. They are being told they will start immediately, he is guaranteeing positions and playing time. This is not fair to the recruits, and he will have a mess when they figure his game out. It has already broke in the Twin Cities with a JUCO QB, who was told he would play QB, when Brewster has other plans. This is very short term, and again, he is screwing the recruits, something Chizik is very upfront about. Player dissention at MN will be terrible.
Here is an article in todays Pioneer Press.

Junior college recruit David Pittman could be a high-impact player for the Gophers next season, but coach Tim Brewster said it just might not be at quarterback.
"He's not coming in here as a quarterback. He knows that," Brewster said while talking about his midseason football signings Wednesday. "He's coming in here as an athlete. He's coming in here as a slash. He knows that. That's been thoroughly discussed."
Has it?
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound Pittman, a four-star recruit, said the Gophers told him he would get a chance to play quarterback. As a sophomore at Pasadena City College (Calif.) last season, he set a national junior college record with 303 completions while completing 67 percent of his passes and passing for 3,643 yards with 35 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also rushed for 572 yards and six touchdowns.
"They said they want me to come in and compete for the starting job," said Pittman, who plans to enroll at Minnesota in January. "The reason I went to junior college was to prove I could play quarterback. (Having a starter returning at Minnesota) wasn't going to deter me from going there. Competition brings out the best in people."
When asked if Brewster talked specifically to him about moving to another position, Pittman said he was told, "only if I want to."
If Pittman is right, then he'll be joining what was already shaping up to be an intriguing quarterbacks competition next spring. At the top of the depth chart is redshirt freshman
