Furman degree vs. Coastal degree.........

[AllTimeFU]

Do we still have 2 yet to commit?

With the new era here, the FurMAN way of developing players that are playing for the institution, value the education and are plugged into the culture...man, those seem like they would be big time gold for CCH. When you know there will be annual upheaval, you better have a core group that you keep and build from that core each transfer season.

Furman degree vs. Coastal degree.........

Degree?

Coastal Football Players aren’t there for school.

A very Sr. person in CCU’s Athletics Department told FUBeAR that, first-hand, about 10-12 years ago. Doubt they have tougher standards in the current “we don’t need no stinkin’ rules” environment of college athletics.

Hope he enjoys those Tuesday and Wednesday night games.

[AllTimeFU]

I'd say he wanted a bigger stage to showcase his skills and will get it on national broadcasts.

They are there for the VD. CCU has one of the highest rates of VD of any college in the country.

Speaking of VD and Coastal Carolina: With all of the dangerous VD diseases out there, I'm just lookin' for an old-fashioned gal with gonorrhea.

Furman offers Elon LB

Interesting photo choice for an Elon LB to announce a Furman offer.

Shoulda used this one instead.

How many offers has FU made? By far the most ever I’m sure. Not many takers so far unfortunately.

If you track this at pretty much any other school at the FBS or FCS level, that’s not that uncommon. Portal recruiting is fairly different than recruiting a high school kid. For schools like Furman, who don’t have truckloads of money to throw at their top targets, You have to cast a wide net to catch a few fish. At least that has been my view of portal recruiting at the FCS level from what I tracked with several schools.

Furman typically won't announce these transfers until they are enrolled. There have been some situations in the recent past that guys have basically no showed.

Furman degree vs. Coastal degree.........

I thought some about this. In recent years, Furman really only lost graduate transfers. It was rare (still is somewhat rare) for Furman to lose an undergrad transfer.

Riley Leonard, current Notre Dame QB that transferred from Duke, had some interesting comments:

At some level, these guys really are trading a Furman degree for a degree from X University. Transfer credits, even among top flight national institutions, are going to be a mixed bag. You can probably get yourself into a spot where you can't get a degree from either institution before your football eligibility has expired.
