JMU lost a lot of talent this year. I don't think they are going to be this powerhouse like people think they are.

Wonder if the redshirt rule will allow us to have more experience coming back next year along with a large 2019 recruiting class of true freshmen given the big senior class this year.
The 2019 senior class is big also. 19 juniors on the roster this year including some big contributors and multi-year starters: Z Johnson, Ellefson, Robbins, Brooks, Karcz, Darnell, D Tuszka, Mercadel, J Brown, D Davis, Hendricks, and Bridges all on the two deep. I'm sure some others will emerge this year but I think 2019 will be pretty similar to 2014 in that there's plenty of key losses but a big senior class to still hold it together.
It's the same talk year after year with transfers. Sure, you have some great players among them, but they don't bring a lot to the table other than a temporary 'fix' for the most part. ISUr is a perfect example. Remember how great they were a few years ago and how they were the team to watch out for/beat the Bison for the next few years. They have transfers when Potrich left; what happened there?
I am not saying JMU is a scrub school by any means. But they are not some dynasty in the making; pretty clear.
You may be right but it's definitely not clear from my point of view. Since Mike Houston got there they're 28-2 (NDSU is 26-3 in that time) with 1 FCS loss (NDSU has 3 over the same span). They were one game away from pretty clearly establishing themselves as the new gold standard of FCS programs back last January. Obviously we all know how that turned out but I wouldn't expect them to fall off much... they still seem like the #1 contender to me.
