Don’t argue with him just to argue.

P5’s will ALWAYS win the recruiting wars. We may get a few guys here and there, but the resources they have, and now NIL, is extremely difficult to overcome.

And don’t be fooled, a good bit of our guys have p5 offers, but I’d bet many of those are contingent.

P5: “You’re our qb! We’ll take you…… if Joe Montana or Tom Brady don’t commit” Two weeks later: Joe Montana commits and no ship available from that p5 school anymore. This happens all the time.

And we probably do the same to guys as well. We probably have 200 offers out. We obviously aren’t taking them all. But there is no doubt Cig and staff have some players identified as priority recruits, and they aren’t accepting more commits that leave those priority guys out cold. There are plan b and c guys in those offers.

That’s right. I forgot. UVA and VT probably also offer milkshakes. Maybe JMU should have stayed DII so we wouldn’t have to suffer the ignominy of losing every future recruiting battle to in-state P5s, even though JMU might develop a history of beating them.

JMU should just know it’s place, right? Ambition and growth are a deadly combo and only lead to heartbreak. An App fan with 7 years of watching FBS recruiting experience has spoken and deigned the limitations of JMU’s future is, like it or not, to forevermore live in the recruiting shadow of UVA and VT. Dukes fans everywhere should expect less and be happy with it.
