re: Micah Eugene to Southeastern

To be fair, McNeese has taken 3 transfers as opposed to SLU's 18.

---

Derrick Milton RB 6-0 200 Pineville, La Mississippi St. transfer

Nate Holmes RB 6-0 185 Port Arthur Memorial Arkansas transfer

Brian Hine LB/DE 6-1 235 Austin Regents HS Cisco College (JC)

Some white kid that's the size of a MLB that they want to put at DE for some reason.

So the coach is stacking the deck for a championship run this year. Ok. SELU isn't the easiest place to recruit HS players to.

---

This will help recruiting 4 year players if they can have a great season this coming year. So its prob worth it

So its not smart to recruit D-1 talent players to an FCS school where you can only recruit FCS talented HS kids? Ohhhhkay

All I want is selu to win a championship with coach ron.Then we will see what happens.

It's funny that you guys are taking such offense and trying to justify it.

All I said is "If that's how you guys want to win it, then shoot for the moon."

---

If you don't have a problem with it, why even comment on it? If McNeese chooses not to take full advantage of the recruiting opportunities available to them as an FCS school, more power to them ... good luck sucking hind tit.

Otherwise, I applaud Ron Roberts and his staff for leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to bring a championship to Southeastern. Good job by them!

Of course you do. Who wouldn't?

Apparently you don't since you're making an issue of it.

All I was saying is that 99% of FCS teams go about it in different ways.

To each their own.

I went to SLU and I can pretty much tell you this is impossible. At least to the average sports fan it is. Most people have never heard of North Dakota State.

I respectfully disagree with you. There is a considerable FCS following nationally, and schools like App State, Georgia Southern, North Dakota State, Montana, Youngstown State, Delaware, and to some degree, McNeese, among others, are more well known and respected, nationally, even to non FCS fans, than most Sun Belt and some MAC schools.

App State and Georgia Southern are making the jump ... we'll see how they're viewed as programs in 10 years. Will they become a Boise State or a Marshall, Buffalo, or UL-Monroe?

As for Southeastern, the dynamics simply aren't there to support FBS football, unless there's a clear separation at the top, and schools are funneled into a second tier of FBS. Then it may be necessary to move up for scheduling purposes. Otherwise, I don't see it happening.
