'It helps being the Camels': Inside college football's most unlikely recruiting success story
As the competition for scholarships at the highest levels tightens, it's entirely possible places like Campbell University in tiny Buies Creek could find a foothold in college football's new roster management landscape.www.espn.com
Change happens, you have to adapt or get left in the dust. Some G5 will use this to their advantage and others won’t. The article gives an example of an FCS program winning players over P5 programs. If they can do it we can do it.
Well if you haven't been keeping up we've lost the majority of our Offensive line. Starting left tackle Steven Losoya (11 starts), Lance Robinson (12 starts) and Dorian Hinton (9 game starter at LG). Coach Polly is a cancer to the team and all the OL despises him which is why we have such an exodus at the position. In spring we only have 3 Offensive Tackles....we are thin on O-Line and we're waiting until Summer to get JUCO's and Transfers. Offense will be suspect with a whole new O-Line in 2022. Last year we had 24 players listed as offensive line...this year we have 21 but at least 5 aren't even on campus yet.
It would be smart play, get NIL deal, compete, let Bennett finish out his career or replace him if he gets hurt...either way a good chance for a HS QB to mature (similar to Trevor) before getting thrown into the fire. Play for the years and bounce to the NFL with 2 years of wear and tear on your body with a solid O-Line.
I don't believe that, generally, but I believe as always the P5's will get the best athletes and therefore the bigger NIL deals. On the flip side NIL is marketing so technically every population center will have it's own NIL market and the amount depends on how much the local community follows that particular sport. So places like Boone, NC (App State) and Stateboro, GA (Georgia Southern) where the programs are cherished might be decent size deals. What I think will happen is eventually kids might decide they would rather start than be a 3rd/4th string backup on a P5.
These guys are part of a team that went 14-20 the last 3 years. It's not like they're uber talented or productive and are leaving. They're sub-.500 players at the CUSA level. Maybe one of them turns into an NFL prospect, but most of them are probably not.
I think you're selling them short. Plenty of elite guys move on - guys like Joe Burrow or Jameson Williams or Jermaine Johnson.
Yeah, North Dakota State, located in a recruiting hotbed, has outperformed rick stuckstill
I guess I just look at it like this is my school. The players don’t make that, the coaches don’t make that, nothing else matters. Win or lose, regardless of who is on the field I’ll be cheering. I understand that others don’t feel that way but that’s how I feel. I have no connection to the NFL so I don’t care what happens there.
I don't get the "only got 7 wins at G5" argument. Obviously these guys are talented enough to go P5 because many of them are getting multiple P5 offers. I am not saying they will or won't do anything, but you can't assume they won't based on how many wins their team had this year. I also don't know why we disparage anyone for moving onto better opportunities. The way most people talk about MT on this board it doesn't seem most of us would choose to play at MT.
I would love to have played for Coach Donnelly but I wanted to play Div. 1 more.
Would you choose MT right now?
Uh….No.
filling a roster and starting are 2 very different things. PT is PT and starting for a G5 beats riding pine for a P5. Good luck to em. They'll need it. Dobson wishes he was back. Now he's at TSU and not playing.
I get that. I wish they all had stayed and some of them will probably regret leaving a starting position. Quincy Riley has the potential to start at almost any school. I also think if Dobson isn’t playing at TSU he wouldn’t be playing at MTSU either.
