Can't see it because no one trusts no one else.

I don't believe there would be near the "raiding" of G5 people think would happen. Off the top of my head, we have two transfers from OU sitting this year, one from Boise. Have guys playing this year from OU and Texas Tech via juco and two from Arkansas and one from Bama. Only have two that have transferred "up" and neither likely to do more than later game mop up or some special teams.

Trent Lee going Tulane to Nebraska is a bit of a rarity.

Free transfer would hurt FCS worse than FBS schools. McNeese picked up a QB from us who probably would have gone to ULM if hadn't had to sit, and Murray State got a QB who probably would still have gone FCS.

I don't think you can look at the current transfer landscape and project it onto a "immediately eligible" football environment. There's quite a bit of transferring going on in basketball where players are often immediately eligible--and football rosters are almost 10 times as large. For certain---I would think a G5 hanging onto a Paxton Lynch would be virtually impossible after one good year.

Just as likely that P5 schools would struggle to hold on to their #2 QB.

There are a lot of transfers in hoops but most are going to where they can gain minutes.

I don't know about that. Pretty good chance a #2 QB is going to play these days.
