I think I'd probably agree with everything you say. But I'll also say, if coaches moving equates to students moving, I'll bet there will be changes to the coaching restrictions.I'd be interested to see how many of them went to schools that had a roster of 4 and 5 star talent already there.
Im all for challenging yourself and competing. Im also in favor of actually getting on the field. I have no problems with a kids that wants to move on to a place where they can get on the field sooner. I don't think the kids should take any more heat or have any more restrictions than coaches that do likewise for money or opportunity.

But back to this specific point. I agree, it would be interesting to see how many 4 or 5 star QB's were/are on the roster that they were competing against and ultimately didn't see themselves hitting the field any time soon. But doesn't that go to their choices? They NEEDED to go to Clemson, they NEEDED to go to Alabama, etc. etc. Now, depending on their own personal restrictions (wanting to live close to home or something else like that), they could be stuck in a lower tier conference. Would it have been better for them to go to a smaller school or a school that isn't that status school, from the get-go?
I'd also be interested in knowing, 4 years down the road, how many of these students saw any significant play time where ever they transferred to. Because ultimately, they will be competing with players that may or may not be younger BUT they've all been in the program longer and are more familiar. The players that haven't transferred have the upper hand.
You are swimming up stream. You sound like someone who actually has experiences in life.Also, as a player you have to ask yourself... is this better for my career or the career of the coach??? Loading your roster with talent is great. Kids sitting the bench when they could be playing for another BCS school?? I dunno man. I'd rather play than clap.
You have to ask yourself, who is being rewarded with burying kids on their roster that could start at another conference school???

Five in five---is the kid a worker? Will he fight through adversity? I see it all the time. I remember as far back as 1988 and Peter Rowe transferred because Timm R was a junior. He transferred to Wyoming. Truth be told if he was patient for three more months he would have been battling it out with Gossen and GArcia, holding a spot for Drew to get there.etown, I think you pretty much hit it on the head. And Ed, you are also right...experiences in life are what inform a kid. You hope he has someone around him with some judgement, but unfortunately that is often not the case. His "Bruggman Plan" 5 for 5 ends up being the basis for hopefully acquiring some judgement...but by then it is usually too late from a football standpoint. Maybe some good things learned for the rest of his life, though. Although 5 schools in 5 years may mean no degree will be earned without another year to tie it all together.
