Pelini to YSU

So, compare the trajectories of the different MVFC schools. NDSU/SDSU/MoST/YSU/ISUr are trending up. UNI? Meh. USD? Meh. SIU/ISUb/WIU simply won't be able to keep up.

So, how long until ISUb pulls the plug on football? I think the death clock could be started.

For example...the Ohio State kid....can go down the road to Youngstown. Or like JJ coming back from the Gophers...back to his hometown.

Location is critical. Tons of Chicago kids go bigtime...and come home to ISU Red. Location is the key deal. I think Chris will take a couple here and there, and maybe when we have a glaring need. THey also have to be a difference maker. SOme of the kids who have reached out haven't been, and we aren't a "drop down" in competition.

Take that from Roberson himself. He said he thought the game was FASTER at our level than at Indiana. Pretty impressive what the MVFC has been able to do...

Why isn't NDSU able to score big in the transfer market? Klieman alluded to some interest being out there, but I'm guessing Youngstown has a big advantage with location.

Non-smack opinion/guess: in order to get transfers, you need 2 things.

1)Available scholarship. If possible, it is usually best to give those scholarships to guys that will be part of your program 4-5 years. Philosophies may vary.
2)Immediate playing time. Many guys leave FBS because they aren't getting a satisfactory amount of playing time. With NDSU's pipeline of talent moving through the system, it would be hard for a transfer to get playing time over, say a Junior who knows the system and is just as physically talented as a FBS washout.

To give a couple SDSU basketball examples of how this plays out, Cody Larson never transfers to SDSU if Prince doesn't leave the program and free up a scholarship. Likewise, George Marshall is most likely not going to transfer to a school like NDSU when playing time isn't guaranteed because you have a stud like LA gobbling up the vast majority of minutes.

I'll echo this: Missouri State is not (any longer) to be taken lightly. That coach they got from Mizzou is for real and has built a hell of a staff there. They may not have shit for fan support but they will definitely get there. And they have sights set much higher in the long run.

So, compare the trajectories of the different MVFC schools. NDSU/SDSU/MoST/YSU/ISUr are trending up. UNI? Meh. USD? Meh. SIU/ISUb/WIU simply won't be able to keep up.

I agree with the new MSU coach. I was surprised he went to an FCS school and didn't go after a G-5 HC job. I would almost thing he would be snatched up after a couple seasons even if he doesn't do superb at MSU just based off his Mizzou pedigree.
