why are ecu fans so obsessed with Marshall? Nothing wrong with any of our APR scores and Canty's grades were fine (assuming he didn't drop a bunch of classes when he realized he was leaving).

On another note, Kendall Gant, 4-star safety that flipped from Georgia in the 2014 class, is fully eligible.

It's the truth, sorry you can't take it.

You don't honestly believe your flipping players from SEC schools? If so......

"Defensive back Kendall Gant of Lakeland, Florida will sign with Marshall instead of UGA due to an academic issue.

Gant will likely be designated as a partial qualifier, which UGA does not accept. If Gant were to sign with the Dawgs, it would likely be a sign-and-place that would send him to junior college. Rather than go that route, Gant decided to commit to Marshall."


Kendall Gant could not get into UGA.

It's true about Marshall; they take alot of kids other programs can't/won't.

They signed Maurice Hall last year who was committed to UCF until he had his scholarship pulled for grades and low test scores.

ECU also is able to enroll non-qualifiers (football and basketball) and as of right now, AAC hasn't voted on that issue as of yet, even with private schools like Tulane & Tulsa joining the conf in 2014.

Those are from years ago. We have no NQ on the roster. Also, none of those players ever played a down for ECU.

One noted from Clemson was less than 24 months ago.

Point wasn't if said players were on a ECU roster, it was about how ECU, just like Marshall (maybe not in the same quantity), does enroll non-qualified athletes, something that is still legal to do in the AAC, even if most teams don't participate in that practice.

That's all.

Canty was a nonqualifier at Marshall. So how can he not be qualified to transfer after he had already been at Marshall for 2 years?

Being qualified for Marshal and being qualified for USF are two vastly different animals.

The kid was at Marshall for 2 full academic years. So how is he not able to transfer into USF? That is my question.

Only one ever enrolled of the 3 you listed, hardly played and is gone now. One a year amd no more than 5 on the team is hardly the same as Marsjall's 5-6 a year.

Oh, BTW can't find any law banning Fla. schools from taking NQs.

Agree totally...I just wanted to point out to some of ECU's new conf members that ECU does use this loop-hole to their advantage (in limited numbers), that's all...as most schools in AAC do not implement this enrollment strategy.

We're getting off track. Anyone that doesn't think Marshall is an athletic program comprised of thugs, ex-criminals, NQ's, etc. please state your case.

Knightlight, we haven't taken a NQ in 2 years.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Is this how you rationalize last years game? It's true that UGA was afraid Gant wouldn't qualify. It's also true he ended up getting his test score and has passed the ncaa clearinghouse. That's something Marshall certainly does not control. Same story for AJ. Leggett, ncaa qualified, just not Miami qualified. Thier loss, our gain, kid is a heck of a player. All it means is we'll have two highly ranked, 4-star safeties playing together for the next 3 years.

Make fun of our recruiting strategy all you want, we'll start at least 6 4-star guys next year and now have 8 on the team. Some were qualified, some weren't and some are transfers, but they are all eligible now. Marshall has 17 of it's 22 starters listed on Phil Steel's preseason all conference teams and oddly he doesn't make any comment about how we got them.

He is even more delusional than that. His responses are going to be classic when the NCAA puts Marshall back on probation for admitting all of those at risk students and then making them all eligible to play. It is not just the nonqualifiers that are the at risk students; Marshall has also found a way to admit guys who couldn't qualify at any other point before meeting the academic folks at Marshall. Some school somewhere is going to pay for the fiasco at UNC and Marshall looks like the school to do the paying.
