Yep. It will likely be a regret later.Couldn't he go to JMU for a year, then transfer and play immediately as a senior at a P5? It's closer to home for him and I would expect immediate playing time to be a given.
Whatever...to each his own. Should have finished his Tech degree, imo.
They seem to sell a lot of beer pong kits at gas stations. That's a sign of an academically challenging institute.James Madison, pipeline to the NFL.
I really don't know, and don't want to bother to look it up, but is JMU a good school? What trade does a person learn there?

JMU is where you go when you need gas on I-81 at exit 246.Is James Madison where you go when you can't get into VT?
Not a good school, nothing to learn there.James Madison, pipeline to the NFL.

I see what you did there. ReaLee funny.Well I remember hearing rumors that he wanted to be closer to home (and JMU being tossed around), but that's still a decent haul from Raleigh...
I'd love to take credit for anything crafty I wrote there, but unfortunately it was totaLee unintentional (but for real, it was). It says in Marshall's bio that he's from Raleigh, and I remember seeing reddit murmurings that he wanted to be closer to home (even though JMU is still like 4 hours away).I see what you did there.

You're a Vad, Vad man.I'd love to take credit for anything crafty I wrote there, but unfortunately it was totaLee unintentional (but for real, it was).

I agree with this. However, would it also be true that if you are talented, businesses will find you no matter where you went to school. I think both are true. I actually think it is more important to go to a school that showcases your football talent than your academic talent, because you have so much more time to prove yourself in a business career.For Vad it made sense because a conventional offense was more to his strengths--drop-back passer with mediocre speed.
Marshall, I'm not sure what the advantage is. Maybe he thinks more playing time means more NFL eyes? I think the reality is the NFL scouts will find you if you're talented no matter how much playing time you get. That's those guys' job. We've sent multiple WRs to the NFL with very low stats. Maybe less school, more focus on football? Would be interested to hear Marshall's rationale.
