I posted some numbers on one of these threads.. As far as scholarships available per capita, KS and PA are pretty much the same.
The top teams recruit nationally, at least to an extent. Everyone has some TX guys like Sexton, a Cali or FL player ir 2 if they're lucky, some portal guys from out of state, and some local depth. D2s are often recruiting against FCS schools for players. Sometimes they go d2, other times they go FCS, or walk on at an FBS.
I'm glad Sexton found a place he could get on the field right away. He's a pretty good qb with a great arm. Hopefully, running the same Offense 2 years in a row will let him reach his potential.
He got benched his last year at Pitt, and the poor guy had to learn 4 offenses in the 3 years he was at Pitt. He was brought in by the former staff, and just wasn't quite what the current staff was looking for.

He better have two grad degrees after next year, or he’s just throwing money away Lol

I speculate, he may not have been the guy for financial reasons. When he was recruited he claimed he was offered a full ride, according to the spreadsheet shared on MIAA page we had very few guys in the .75-.99 range. Maybe coach wanted to spread it out a little more to develop depth.

Depth and the fact the player pool in the Northeast is very picked over than where you guys are located. Your conferences get players who would go to FCS schools around here. We need more money and take the players MIAA teams get. Hell we have your former starting QB who will probably be the top QB in the Pee Sack next season now that Bagent is done.

Yeah. I think depth is a difference for them, too.

The biggest issue with Pee Sack teams is we don’t have the horses on defense to keep up with the stronger teams in other regions. IUP had a tough defense in 2017 but we had Max Redfield who came from Notre Damexand he was quite the difference maker. Generally though our defenses are a turnstile on a national playing field and while we tend to get talented players on offense once they are down a lot on the scoreboard they can’t play their game.
Shepherd had a good enough defense for Region 1 but not for a national game in the Final 4.

Originally posted by Predatory Primates View PostMeh, idk. Based on just the eye test, I think Shepherd was somewhere in between Washburn and UCO. Good enough to beat a really good team if everything went right, just not quite enough horses to do it regularly, though.
This is just 100 percent my opinion based on super limited exposure. I'm not married to the comparison. I just put them in that, "Pretty good in some areas, but huge weaknesses in others", category.

Newberry, Saginaw Valley, Sioux Falls, Minnesota-Duluth, Emporia State, West Georgia all would have been more competitive against Colorado Mines in the semifinals than Shepherd was. 100% not a single shred of doubt in my mind.

Transitive property huh? What about Michigan Tech only losing by 8 to Ferris? That 4-7 juggernaut surely would whoop everyone in Region 1 too right?
Come on dude, that stuff means nothing.

Saginaw Valley lost to the national champion by 5 points this year. Shepherd lost to the national runner-up by 31, who then lost to the national champion by 27. Shepherd also lost to last year's national champion by 48 when SVSU lost to that same national champion by 2. SVSU didn't make the playoffs in either year. So at best guesstimate, Shepherd would be a 4th-place team in the GLIAC the last two years.
I miss the 90’s when a GLIAC team on the IUP schedule was an automatic win. Good times.
