True. Anything can still happen. But look at recent position of transfers that are starting. Patterson, Rutkiweicz, Carter, Barnes, Jackson, Gilbert ….all FCS or lower. The P5 transfer track record is getting pretty small.

But the track record for transfer QBs is 100% from P5 teams. He also brought in Williams from Iowa, Artis from Virginia Tech, Dabney from Kansas, Foley from Minnesota, Lynch from Temple, Seibert from Ohio State, Green-May from Wisconsin, Lombardi from Michigan State, Mimes from Pittsburgh, Pinkney from UCF, Bowers from California, DeLuca from Duke (I think all of those guys are Hammock transfers).

So, maybe the entire picture should be considered in where he's getting transfers from.

Comparing a search for a QB and the search for WR depth is apples to oranges.

Just pointing out all the transfer starters are from the FCS. All those P5 guys were nothing more than depth except the two QBs who came years ago.. We don’t need more QB depth.

Whether you’re looking for a QB, WR or LB, your ability to attract higher level players is a reflection of the marketability of your program. It can 100% work going mostly FCS. I’m not opposed. I’m just saying that it does say something about your team or coach if you can’t attract ANY P5 transfers. It’s not like Ham offered zero P5 kids. Could it all be about NIL money? Possibly. I’m just seeing the results.
What? They got 4 P5 transfers last offseason and they’ve got two already this offseason. There is plenty to criticize Hammock for without just making stuff up.

I was pretty clear I was talking about starters and not depth. List the P5s that made an impact as a starter. Any? Has there been a P5 transfer in the starting line up in 22 or 23? So what I’m saying is..in this time of crazy portal movement, how can Hammock not land one good P5 transfer that you’d actually be really excited about. And not in the - “I like this player, he could be a good if he develops”. His transfers the last couple years haven’t been needle movers. You know when a blind date’s biggest attribute is “they’re a really nice person”….that’s Hammocks transfers recently.

If a guy on the roster or a guy from FCS outperforms and beats out a guy from P5, it doens't negate the fact that he's bringing in P5/FBS transfers. Sometimes, those FCS guys are really good.

Yeah, the argument makes no sense. So we think it’s concerning Hammock hasn’t brought in P5 transfers who ended up starting (even though he’s brought in a bunch of P5 transfers) other than the only two starting QB’s he’s had? Uh, alright.

What does a 2019 and 2021 transfer have to do with todays portal and Hammocks ability to bring STARTING QUALITY P5 transfers?

MACC teams Miami and Toledo…both teams leading rushers…P5 transfers. Both teams leading tacklers P5 transfers. Miami…3 of 4 top tackle leaders are P5 transfers. Toledo top sacks…P5 transfer. Toledo starting RT, P5 transfer. Miami starting RG, P5 transfer. But yeah,,,,just load the bench up with P5 back ups, it’s just as important.

I dont know why anyone wants to die on the hill that FCS players are just as good as P5 players. Are there bad P5 players?? Yes, does Hammock
Need to find all of them to load his bench up? No.

Speaking of rushers I like Williams, he is from Iowa, but brown made it so he doesn’t play much.

Otherwise he would be our leading rusher. Again, a nice P5 transfer but couldn’t get PT. Doesn’t bug me.


Same with Dabney at corner. A nice p5 transfer who pushed Byrd to get back to the way he was playing as a Freshman. Sometimes it isn’t about “starting.”

You’re confusing Hammocks crappy P5 recruiting with what’s happening in the conference.

The number of P5 transfers in the top 5 in the conference at these stats.

Rushing 2 of 5
Passing 3 of 5
Receiving 2 of 5
Tackles 3 of 5
Sacks 3 of 5

The number of FCS transfer players in these stats:
0 of 5
0 of 5
1 of 5
2 of 5
0 of 5

So tell me again how having no P5 transfers starting doesn’t matter and how the FCS kids are just as good? It’s really weird how just getting any P5 kid is good enough. Like the standard is so low now that people have given up on getting quality. We have Dabney! He can fill in solidly if needed!!

Not at all as the portal Has changed greatly in the last couple years. What you did in 2021 is not the same as what’s happening going into 2024. Or are you saying the portal today is the same as it was 2 years ago?

Because, 2024 is an unknown. And 2023 is fuzzy because it's also in the past and subject to the rules of the portal of the past.

I fully believe an FCS QB can come to a team like NIU and a conference like the MAC and be, not only successful, but win a MACC. I also believe a P5 QB can drop down and do the same.

Honestly, I'm not sure I see much of a difference (on paper) between a dude who falls out of favor at a P5 school and one who excells at an FCS school.

Well I kind of just gave you some stats on how much more successful the P5 transfers have been than the FCS transfers. Ignore it or don’t believe it if you want. But I do understand things are changing fast so who knows. But still, since 2019 two P5 transfer QBs have made the MACC. Zero FCS QBs have made it. Doesnt mean one couldnt. I think an FCS qb could lead NIU to the championship, but a big part of the reason is that the QB play in the MAC is at rock bottom right now.

Does really questioning why we don't get more P5 starters? hahaha P5 quality starters get PAID,. Criticizing Hammock for the lack of P5 starters is silly, Hint the the Ribeye at Capital Grille is better than the McRib at McDonalds.

Gil Brandt talking about transfers (before NIL, portal) always liked players who moved up when transferring and not so much as moving down. He made this comment when talking about Kenny Golladay.

It’s not money when talking the level of p5 guy we are. We are talking the level of p5 guy who will come to the MAC…those are not money guys.

For example an Iowa State LB Carston Marshall - is who hammock is in on. He didn’t play much, and he has 3 seasons left, a perfect target for a MAC school. A clear upgrade here, a chance to play, and a program fit. We are not talking about guys moving on for millions, we are talking Iowa state back ups.

Gil Brandt talking about transfers (before NIL, portal) always liked players who moved up when transferring and not so much as moving down. He made this comment when talking about Kenny Golladay.


It’s not money when talking the level of p5 guy we are. We are talking the level of p5 guy who will come to the MAC…those are not money guys.

For example an Iowa State LB Carston Marshall - is who hammock is in on. He didn’t play much, and he has 3 seasons left, a perfect target for a MAC school. A clear upgrade here, a chance to play, and a program fit. We are not talking about guys moving on for millions, we are talking Iowa state back ups.

Agree on the $$$ moving down. He appears similar to Kidd, he does not want to wait his turn to play. So much about playing time in college is just waiting your turn. We want players who can compete and be of the quality to beat P5 teams,,,BC,GT,Purdue, Iowa St....if the players leaving can't play there (older players 2years left) they wont make much impact here. They can contribute, but the impact wont be great. Classic case is the DE transfer from Wisconsin last year, he played but did not make a difference.

One problem we have is competing against the SCOUTING DEPARTMENTS P5s have. Players at all levels are getting hard looks by these schools. They do not care if he was not a high level recruit (unlike many board members here).Can he move, compete and make us better now? Many FCS , D2 players do go P5 and that makes it harder for us to find those missing pieces.

Somewhat sarcastic, but... With him being a grad transfer I feel he's fulfilled his obligation and can do as he pleases. Kind of surprised he waited so long to do it. But the Lord does work in mysterious ways.

Good luck to Billy, he seems like a good kid. I hope he finds a place where he gets a lot of playing time.
