So 2 is considered many now, Tyre Brady and Juwon Young from Miami FL. We also have CB CJ Revis who started out at VA Tech but he is a JuCo recruit.

Not the reason Brady or Young transferred.

This season they are coming back.

Our down season last year was a 3 headed monster that even Nick Sabin or Urban Myer couldn't have saved:

1)Marshall had 5 OLine miss 6 games or more and a senior OL, Michael Selby had a career ending injury in the 6th game. In 12 games last year Marshall didn't start the same OL once.

2)Marshall had 4 DLine miss 4 or more games with an injury.

3)Marshall's secondary was made up of almost all true or redshirt freshman, with 2 Jrs and a Soph.

Doc was only put on the so called "Hot Seat" by the so called fans that hated the hire from day one, ooo and Chuck Landon, who has had an ax to grind with Holliday since the day he was hired.

The players never quit last year. See my 3rd reply for what happened last year.

Whoever made the recruiting comparison to Marshall is comparing apples and oranges. They can being on just about anybody and park them is what basically amounts to special ed for college.

ECU has a lot of the same problems as you guys. Theres too damn many FBS programs in this area.

The bolded school, you are kidding right. ECU only requires most of their student athletes to have an 18 on their ACT. Marshall requires a 21.
