This is going to be a very interesting year for transfers in college football. Why? With COVID, essentially all players could be redshirting this year and with the incoming recruiting classes, some schools could have well over 85 scholarships for next year. Some schools will elect to support over 85 scholarships but some schools may not due to financial constraints. I just don't think there will be many scholarship spots available for kids to transfer this year. Obviously, the top players will have opportunities, but kids will have to think twice this year about transferring.
 
A 2-6 EKU played an 0-1 Western Carolina in the inaugural Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers Opportunity Bowl this Saturday. This is a new annual FCS bowl which EKU plans to host going forward (how does that work??).

EKU won 49-17 concluding EKU's season. Meanwhile WCU had only played Liberty this fall (losing 58-14) and is now set to play UNC on 12/5 before shutting it down only to restart with an eight game schedule in spring 2020.

I guess this is akin to EKU deciding it wasnt going to wait around for someone else to host a party, they'll just do it themselves and invite whomever and hand out a trophy.

Dixon finished with 37 receptions/ 607 yards and 6 TDs this year in 9 games which outperforms his 34 receptions/ 497 yards and 1 TD 2019 season which had 12 games.

From his perspective, he got out just in time.

LOL - Tim Boyle did ok with that degree at $1.7 million over 3 years.

Boyle is a good point, but can we really assume Dixon will achieve the same success at this hour? I wont cheer against him, but its a tall task.

But if we going down this path, should we talk about Matt Peart who will make $1 million this year and $4 million over his 4 year third round rookie contract if he is able to see it through.

I think Dixon would have struggled for playing time last year at UConn with Ross, Drayton, and Ardell Brown. He got an opportunity to play at another school and he probably made the right decision to transfer. He had a solid season at EKU although his last 4 games he was a non-factor, but I don't think he has stood out enough against FCS football competition to get drafted. That said, I hope somebody give him an opportunity.

I don’t see him getting drafted either but perhaps get a chance as a free agent? All I was saying is this sanctimonious stuff about UConn vs ECU degree Is not a big deal for a football player. Sure academically UConn is a better school but these are football driven decisions.

Can’t you just be happy for a kid. Why does every move come with a yes, but. He did well. He found a place where he had success. Who knows where he will get a degree from. I wish him well no matter which path he chooses.

No, he can't, because he's devolved into a bot that craps on every thread on this board, usually with total nonsense. So tiresome.

The program is 6-30 under RE2 with 1W in 2018, 2Ws last season, and a cancelled season in 2020. Perhaps RE is rebuilding is rebuild? Whatever the case, I don’t blame any player for leaving and I have huge respect for those committed to seeing it through. All we can do is stick with it as fans and hope things change for the better.

Not unusual for a WO to exit after two years. They put their effort in, found out where they stack up and then they make decisions from there. While I'm a little disappointed for Banton because I thought he might be a WO that sticks (had some wiggle and toughness for his size in his HS tape), for whatever reason he has decided to move on.

There are a lot of interesting WO candidates ready to take Banton's place ....many right here at the New England prep schools as fifth year seniors. Just saying.
 
I think this will be a very difficult year for walk-ons to earn scholarships with the granting of an extra year of eligibility. Revenues are depressed for all athletic departments and many schools may have >85 players on football scholarship. How many above 85 will be a difficult financial decision.

True. The portal could be ripe this year also.

Roster compression from extra year of eligibility for current rosters and the large number of committed kids not being able to visit campus/meet staff in person is going to cause increased activity in both the transfer portal and in decommits across the board. I think I counted 5 FBS QB transfers yesterday alone.

 
He has been a starter for us. I would assume he would be projected as a starter but I feel like we have some depth there to be OK
