I'm disappointed we won't have Connor Wood this year, but hope he lands at a good spot. He took advantage of the pandemic pause and finished his undergrad degree. Now he's a grad transfer with two years left.
He accepted an offer from Missouri. Hope he does great there.

Yeah, those two things are very different. One is actually in Charleston and has a rich and storied tradition both academically and athletically while the other is Charleston Southern.

It is crazy how many transfers are happening everywhere. All programs will have to adapt to the new reality, but the successful ones will have to have a plan and stick to it.

[lionsrking2]

It is crazy how many transfers are happening everywhere. All programs will have to adapt to the new reality, but the successful ones will have to have a plan and stick to it.

The recruiting model moving forward for most FCS schools will likely be heavy FBS/FCS/D-2 transfer, with multiple years of eligibility (preferably 3 or more years), and high school kids who can come in and play immediately. Redshirting high school kids will be risky because you may never get anything out of them before they bolt for greener pastures. Transfers of all stripes — assuming 4 to 4 — will have used their one-time transfer so they will be in heavy demand.

I was told that a rule has been passed that mandates that every school's game tape has to be uploaded on HUDL each week and available for all schools to watch and evaluate. Schools with budgets to hire personnel to comb through HUDL will have an advantage in the transfer wars. It's a whole new world, for better or worse.

Schools with budgets to hire personnel to comb through HUDL will have an advantage in the transfer wars. It's a whole new world, for better or worse.

First, you're confusing two separate things. Yes, Hudl has the market nearly cornered on high school recruit footage but the rule you're referring to is specific to the Southland Conference and in-conference game film exchange. It has nothing at all to do with the NCAA or recruiting. The Southland uses Hudl as its primary method of exchange -- and has for several years, it's not new -- so the conference does require that all member schools upload all of their own game footage so it can be accessible to the other conference schools for game scouting and gameplan prep. The Hudl brand name stands out here because, for most people, Hudl is synonymous only with recruiting and because the vast majority of other conferences and schools in D1 use a different software called Dragonfly Storm for the purpose of game film exchange; the Southland is a bit of an outlier, however, and chose Hudl because it is significantly less expensive than Dragonfly in terms of site license cost and it requires virtually no IT infrastructure which, incidentally, is also the reason that Hudl is so popular with high schools in the first place. Again, this has nothing whatsoever to do with recruiting either of transfers or of high school seniors and, even if it were, the NCAA has no standing to dictate what video platforms or recruiting services that schools must use.

Second, you may not know who they are and their names may not show up on the team website but every school already has multiple people whose job it is to comb through recruit footage. Video is an integral part of the recruiting process and has been for decades, going back from Hudl to DVD's to VHS tapes to 16mm film before that. Also, the practice of going through recruit video is not done blindly. College coaches and recruiting staffs are well aware of players that they want to target well before they ever turn on the game film. They use the film to confirm interest, eliminate interest, or break a tie between recruitable players. But, it would be wildly inefficient for any coaching staff to hire someone to sit in front of a computer and just randomly click links.

This will absolutely change the face of FCS recruiting. At our level we have always recruited for the future, and that is going to have to change. You have top get production out of a kid THIS season, because he may not be around next year. We've always recruited the late bloomer, or developing talent in hopes of letting them have a year or two to mature (especially OL and DL kids). THe undersized kid that was overlooked, that adds 30# of muscle in the freshman year is the FCS bread and butter...but that kid is not going to get picked up now. With only 63 shots, FCS coaches cant afford to take too many chances, and now with the transfer rule, they can afford to take even less.

It will also go both ways - Very talented kids will also be jumping up like Toure from Montana to Nebraska! Will be interesting to see how he does this year!

Exactly my point. If this isn't addressed soon, the FCS will be relegated to a farm system for FBS schools.

[Anthony215]

Exactly my point. If this isn't addressed soon, the FCS will be relegated to a farm system for FBS schools.

I see the G5 schools as more of a farm system for P5 schools than the FCS schools. True the top talent FCS players will be poached away but not nearly at the rate of say a kid at Boise State, Houston, Cincinnati, App State, UCF, BYU, Liberty, etc... FCS top players will probably need 2-3 years of great film where G5 players who play on conference championship contending teams can have 1-2 years of great film and get the first offer. As previously stated by another poster this just means FCS coaches will be more leary to play freshman early on to preserve keeping them longer. G5 coaches are going to play young guys as they're looking for that NY6 bowl bid which leads to P5 HC opportunities. At least it's only a one time transfer and be eligible immediately rule so no bouncing around year to year for most kids unless they drop down which in turn benefits the FCS teams.

Just saw a relevant tweet listing the top 10 most popular destinations for 1164 transfer commits this season. I don't know if this is good or bad for the schools on this list, but there's a couple of FCS ones there: #1 is Jackson State and #9 is my own Leathernecks.

I can agree with this. Look at WVU which lost their star DB to Georgia and that kid is only staying in Athens for one year before turning pro and entering the 2022 NFL Draft. Then look at Temple which lost a ton of players to P5 programs this past offseason. FCS wise even Villanova took a loss losing 3 key players to UCLA, Iowa State & Virginia Tech.

There are still always going to be good players available for all schools. It will just be a different process by which they arrive at their destination. The P5s have always gotten the best players initially in the high school recruits. They will still get those and and a few more with the new transfer rules. But remember, there is still a scholarship limit. The addition of transfers mean another P5 players will be displaced. That player will end up somewhere, either in another P5 or a G5 or FCS. And so on...

When you look at the schools their transfers came from they have a equally balanced mixture of transfer up as well as lateral transfers. I count 3 lateral transfers, and 3 transfer ups. Then they nabbed 7 players from G5 schools, and 5 players from P5 schools. If Chris Ferguson doesn't win the starting job I know he will be questioning leaving Liberty where he was still getting time as the backup QB and playing for a NY6 Bowl bid this upcoming season.

[CenMEBlackBearFan]

There is no way a team will have long term success with taking 18 transfers like Towson has done. As a new recruit you will never know where you stand as you progress thru the program knowing that at any point a transfer can come and take your spot. This is such a dynamic situation but think the schools that take a limited amount of transfers will be better in long term success. I also realize that this season coming off Covid every school has a boatload of things to address as far as who is returning and who is not.
Will players like Fergie playing for their 3rd school start to be a norm, sure hope not!!!

And now, Saban just got his 86th scholly....Bear Bryant had limited scholarships too, but he had 3 schollarships on the swim team, and 4 on the track team, 2 on the baseball team....The SCOTUS ruling opens up a whole new can of worms....and the NCAA can do nothing about it!!!

I know the world has long since passed me by, but if I was still playing and thinking about finding a new home....there is no way in hell I'm getting near the portal unless I have a solid lock on a destination. For most coaches, once you enter, you are done. They don't want you back (not saying it can't happen...but it is unlikely)...so if you don't have a place lined up, and you walk out....you may be sitting at home in the fall. I know the NCAA doesn't allow coaches to contact or recruit players if they are other rosters and not in the portal, but these kids have a network of guys they have camped with or played HS with, or their HS coach can reach out...there are ways of having something lined up before you put your name in the hat. If you got nowhere to go after entering the portal, you either aren't as good as you think you are....or someone gave you some bad advice.

I thought he landed at Western Illinois? I just checked their roster and I see he must have been offered for the 2022 season. He's currently saying he's a JUCO graduate this December so I'm assuming he accepted the Garden City Community College offer. He does have a Wagner offer so if it was about stepping up in competition as his reason for leaving Delaware this was definitely a bad decision. Sometimes these players get bad advice from handlers, other times they get black balled when they leave their school looking for better opportunities. I know a kid who balled out at a ACC school, never got the PT he expected, had good grades and entered the portal, was signing with an SEC school until the day before he arrived the coach recruiting him informed him that someone at his school told the boosters he was a problem child, bad student and teammate and they wouldn't approve his scholarship so he has been out of football for 3 years now and probably done.

Update on ex-NDSU QB Zeb Noland:

After initially hanging up his cleats and taking a GA position with South Carolina, Noland has un-hung(??) said cleats. It seems the Gamecocks presumptive starter went down with a foot injury in practice last week and the depth behind him was a true freshman, a walk-on and a 5th year transfer from St. Francis. Noland, as pretty much the only person in the 803 area code with remaining college eligibility and actual game experience, was quickly fitted for pads and is now in the mix to play vs. E Illinois on Sept. 4.
