It is impossible to build a consistently good team at the G5 level now. Your only chance to be good for a few years in a row is if you just get a stud QB who doesn?t need money, doesn?t want to play in the P5, and loves Marshall.  That?s it.

You have a chance for a good team occasionally if the stars align, but the days of being consistently good are over even if you spend more NIL than ever other G5. No continuity = scattered results.

8-2 the final. Herd giving up a lot of unearned runs.

Marshall will be his 4th school, he had prior stops at Minnesota, ODU, and Colorado.  Looking at his prior seasons stats, I doubt Coach Prime is wringing his hands over this transfer.  He was not on the first team at Colorado.

I think some kids just like being recruited more than they like playing.

Here's a thought...

Amid portal era, Calipari hints at limiting Ark. roster to '8 or 9 guys'

We certainly could've got by doing this last season!  Woulda saved the BG a lotta wasted scholarship $!

just when i think i've heard it all.   lets say there's a rash of two or three players getting seriously injured.  i don't think any coach in their right mind is going to self-limit their roster, especially programs with enough financial and NIL support.
i'll go as far as asking- why wouldn't they go in the opposite direction and force the weak ncaa to increase scholarships from 13 to whatever?  why couldn't you win (in men's programs) with wholesale substitutions like Caldwell did with the women's program?  can you imagine having 12 elite players and 8 really good players to work with?

closer to reality though, i really like this down-to-earth take on the subject-

If the big schools start using fewer of their scholarships, that would mean four or five fewer scholarships available per school and that would have a trickle down effect for a school like Marshall to get better players.
