    Yeah, they'll be cupcakes for a few years, but they'll eventually end up having the best jerseys. Nike approached them a few years ago because they are the only team with the black and teal color scheme.

    Now that they are FBS...they'll get the Nike treatment soon enough.

    And don't count them out on the field, they lost to the FCS National Champions in the playoffs the last two years. They're an upper echelon FCS school who will only get stronger now that they are FBS have to double their stadium. Their only knock in recruiting was that they were FCS, they have everything else - brand new facilities, perfect climate, beach adjacent campus, TONS of women, a very influential HC, and other strong programs. That may not mean anything to you, but location and campus life is a very strong recruiting factor.

    Each recruiting class will be better than the last for the next 5 years or so. It also helps that they were added to a weak conference, so they shouldn't be getting absolutely blown out in the first two years.

    This is an absolute best case scenario for the program.

    Obviously it's good for them to move up. But can the state of South Carolina support three major programs? I submit not. One of my good buddies went to CCU though so I'm not a hater, just exploring your post.

    Coastal Carolina will not be a "major" program.....more of a mid major program...and sure, they can support it. Including mid majors Texas has like a dozen.

    Florida 6-8. Same for Ohio.

    Three would work for a smaller state like SC. NC has at least 5-6.

    Florida and Texas have elite and deep football talent. Ohio has a ton of players and is only supporting one P5 team. I'm not talking about whether CCU can survive, rather whether they'll be really good long term.

    I dont' think they or anyone else thinks they will P5 level, even in the long term... They will likely always be at mid major level

    MAC, Mountain West, Sunbelt level....and I think they are to play in the Sunbelt.

    The Southeast is full of talent as well, I wouldn't count them out.

    Traditionally, though, their recruiting pipeline has been slightly different than that of S.Car and Clemson, given that they are on the beach. CCU won't necessarily be competing directly with the other two schools in SC for prospects, they have normally stuck to the northeast and Midwest.

    CCU will have to resort to different recruiting measures than the big boys, since they won't be able to push their actual program. Rather, they'll push new facilities, cutting edge jerseys, a connected, celebrity HC, and the proximity to the beach. Those things will likely sway one or two decent prospects to choose them over S.Car or Clemson while they build.

    Unfortunately, they will also likely draw interest from some top recruits who are more into drinking and partying, since CCU is (and has been) nationally ranked by many college reviewers as a party school.

    They'll have to resort to high risk talent if they want to compete initially.

  • God... you can't make even one unbiased comment when it comes to OSU/Michigan, can you? That is pretty sad actually

    When did I ever say that?

    But you called the winged helmet, a helmet universally ranked on "best helmet" lists, ugly. Come on now.

    I think the stripes down the leg are new, aren't they? I thought that was a good look.

    No, I have never liked that helmet much....but that striping accentuates and and actually makes it more tolerable.

    The unis were actual throwbacks to the away jerseys Michigan wore in the 70s.

    Next year is when Nike comes to town. Our Jumpman unis will be sweet.

    I don't like michigan but I'm partial to their uniform because my high school used the same colors

    Just because someone ranked that helmet as best, doesn't mean I agree with it.

    It's ugly.

    A local high school around here uses the same design.....except the colors are like black and orange. Not an improvement.
