That's actually great to see....as Tulane is obviously giving him a LONG time to build up the program the right way...as odds are, Tulane will never have another quality "named" coach lead their program...so why not start with a 4-6-8 year plan to do it the right way...a way that it could LAST.

Glad to see he is not going for the "quick fix" to win right away with 5th year transfers and/or JUCO's.

Plus, tie in Tulane's recent history of sooooooooo many players transferring out of their program (which means reaching for some transfers to come into the program), the issues were internal so hopefully he can get them fix for the good of Tulane...which would only help the AAC too.

"Tulane will never have another quality name coach lead their program" ok.. Smells like weak trolling. How about we live in the present and acknowledge our" quality" head coach "name". It's cool knightlight

I am looking forward to UCF adding to AAC too!

Also do really like the uniforms. For football frost looks to be a good hire. Hoping the 0-12 doesn't happen again. "Which would only help AAC again"...

No we are on Lebo-probation where he chased transfers for months and we got dicked over so now have to go into a season 2 scholarships down like probation because he's a dumb***. Transfers that have to sit out a year and tie up scholarships and don't help you are costly to a program anyway unless they are clearly worth it.

Dunleavy is wrong though, you can have it both and what I would prefer if I were Tulane is 5th year graduate transfers. Get your immediate help and get to recruit that scholarship next fall like you probably want to do anyway. He started behind the eight ball in recruiting anyway this spring and most of the good 4 years guys would have been gone. He would need to look to the fall, doesn't mean he couldn't have got use out of it or some 5th year transfers too.

The stupidest thing you can do is just let scholarships sit idle though like we probably will be doing. At least take a flyier or if you are just going to let it sit collecting dust anyway get a 5th year guy whatever. Scholarships are renewable and those guys can always be pushed out if they suck anyway after a year.

I highly doubt we will be two scholarships down. Well give them to deserving Walkons.

There is no deserving walking ons on our team. That's even stupider if you are already being this stupid. At least save them for a mid season transfer at this point or get a lesser transfer if you are screwing it away anyway for nothing or take something of whatever left a flyer you can push out if needed.

We still had immediate needs for next year, chasing these stupid Martin twins for months was dumb anyway. We need guys that could help us next year immediately not to tie up 2 or 3 scholarships on transfers that had to sit out a year and were poor fits anyway. He screwed us though because there's nothing left at this point. Still just sitting on the scholarship would be the dumbest of all options, even if he was dumb and put us in a no win position with nothing left.

Sounds like the last few years of the Bobby Lutz years.

He let his dickbag of a friend (and associate HC) veto other coaches recruits that we could reasonably attain for big time players we almost always lost out on. Then we'd have to fill out the roster with leftovers or go into the season without all the scholarships used.

We'll you guys were still like top 75 to 125 competitive team at the time. There's a huge difference in chasing transfers that have to sit out in year 7 as a 215 ranked team knowing you still have major holes to fill still. Just shows how little Lebo felt like he was on the hotseat with his 1 million dollar a year 5 years guaranteed. Any other coach would be scrambling for help to save his job. He's out there chasing year 8 players that can't do jack next year.

I wasn't excited about chasing the Martins anyway and sucking next year tying up grants waiting on them regardless. In a vacum they were fine as prospects but in our situation it was stupid to begin with and now it can really only end up worse now.

To be accurate, most of those outbound transfers were at Tulane's request. All told, 4 good players that TU didn't want to lose transferred. Davis was a 5th year senior. The others had the same profile: 2 star, lightly recruited, play a lot better than 2 star, so other programs start contacting them (illegally, but no one ever stops it) and they decide to move on.

As for transfers, we have spots open, so there's no harm getting a 5th year transfer or 2, as those spots will be otherwise empty and you can still recruit 4 year players to fill those spots. There may not be any capable ones left, however. And he has taken one sit-out transfer already and I wouldn't mind another 1 or 2, if the coach likes them.

This sounds good but is stupid if the players trying to transfer would've helped the team win. This isn't college athletics of 30 years ago.

I applaud his conviction and commitment to building the program his way. Transfers are nice but if they are kids who don’t fit what you’re trying to build culturally or philosophically then you are better off without them. A transfer or 2 is fine if you have an established program and you need a piece or 2 to put you over the top, but as a strategy to build a program IMO it’s a desperation move.

Homerduche starting a thread that should have nothing to do with ECU but tossing in an ECU slam, pretty typical.

Lol! There was so much talk about ECU relying on attracting transfers, it was a natural association to make.

One of our fall signees that Dunleavy released (Dunleavy's choice) signed with Pastner at G Tech.
I guess we'll find out about Dunleavy soon enough and his ability to get the talent.
And it will be interesting to see how the player does at Tech.

Dunleavy is such a great hire for Tulane.
