I’ve been saying this for over a year but numbers went even higher this year☹️It will take time to play out, but once guys enter the portal and don't find another place to play things will begin to slow down. Especially guys who are like 3rd on a team's depth chart. I believe the current players will see what happens to those guys and some will rethink their decisions. There will always be transfers, but I believe it will slow down to a extent.
You have a point. Though in clarifying, I'm thinking about fan confidence. At Alabama, if I'm down to my 3rd string guy at two or three positions, I'm still confident in their ability to execute. At Nebraska in 2023, if I'm into the 2nd string, I have doubts. To your point, your depth is dependent upon the ability of the starters to elevate the play of the subs.I'm kind of confused by the question
has there ever been a time when FBS schools weren't challenged with depth?
like, I get it - Matt Turman vs Kst and all - but that wasn't really good depth, it was starters so superior we could win 10 (or less) on 11.
The "Turmanator". Nice nickname and all, but he looked like a high school kid out there that day. Tom Osborne didn't trust him to throw more than a couple times that day and I'm not sure they even wanted him running much option. The offensive line played their asses off trying to create running lanes against 8 in the box. And Lawrence Phillips ran like a man possessed.I'm kind of confused by the question
