Are G5 Programs Being Raided by P4?

This guy says no:

Color me skeptical, but I thought this was worth posting for no other reason than the photo CBS Sports chose to represent "G5."

Schools that gained the most Power Four transfers

Charlotte -- 16

North Texas -- 16

Marshall -- 15

Nevada -- 14

East Carolina -- 13

I like the sound of that.

Of course they/we are getting raided.

Top G5 talent is leaving and being replaced with P4 bench players. When the former P4 produce, they’ll leave again.

I know it’s cynical, but I’d be very surprised to see our transfers finish their careers at UNT…Especially after they have a good season. Some P4 will just offer them a good payday and/or a “better chance to get drafted.”

It’s a year to year basis as a Mean Green fan. I’m impressed with the longevity/production of Gabe Blair, Jett Duncan, Ridge Texada, Damon Ward, Jordan Brown, and the Rod Browns of our Mean Green. Did I miss anyone?

I hope I’m wrong regarding all the pessimism. I think we should have a good team this year., though. Still looking forward to the season. GMG!

This.

I wouldn’t have a problem with the portal if there was a one transfer limit. A highly recruited guy goes to P4, but doesn’t develop as expected…let him go to a G5. On the other hand, a guy doesn’t get recruited heavily out of high school, but develops after a couple of years at a G5…let him go to P4. I don’t like it, but I get it.

On another note: I understand there are cases where it makes sense or is needed, but I’m generally against P4 to P4 transfers and G5 to G5 transfers.

Texada was a transfer from FCS.
