Southern Miss Roster Turnover

[HotMop]

Holy Crap, 54 incoming transfers, 21 followed Huff from Marshall. 40 transferred out.

Why do I suddenly get the feeling we get blown up with our ****** head coach at the helm.

For reference, the site you linked ranks Southern Miss's 54 transfer portal additions as the 62nd-best transfer portal class, while they rank our 34 transfer portal additions as the 18th-best transfer portal class.

They look decent if you look at their personnel on offense.

Charles Huff was on with Matt Wyatt today - saying MSU has a &12-14 M on n this roster. Basically making a point to the USM fans that it takes money

Those 21 players will lose 6+ games at Southern Miss in 2025.

It was only about 5 or 6 starters, though. That does include a quality QB. But otherwise I think it’s mostly WR’s and DB’s.

I suspect they are going to struggle at the line of scrimmage, which is pretty common for teams in Year 1 of a rebuild.

Yes I love how people with shortdick syndrome keep throwing this 9-3 record around like they were playing in the AFC North.

I mean it’s good for Marshall but I’m not overwhelmed by their talent!!

Vegas has their over/under at 5.5. So you’re probably right. They have ours at 3.5, but 1 of the 3 is Southern Miss. they’re probably pretty close in both.

I have said it all offseason if this game comes down to who is the better coach between Huff and Lebs. We are screwed.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Until proved otherwise, our team is puke until they prove it on the field. I would take a partial 10-3 transfer team over a collection of random transfers any day, especially for an opening day game. Team chemistry will be the deal breaker for this game and season.

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

10-3 on basically a junior college schedule. Who did they beat ? Nobody. We will crush them and see the driven before us. We will hear the lamentations of their women

 

[Bulldawg77]

No they don’t. Not a single OL from Marshal followed him. They are counting on two players from EMU who barely played last year. A washed guy from South Carolina and a kid from Mcnesse state to play on the OL
Stop acting like Huff magically made this roster the 24 Marshal team

Who did we beat last year?

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

They have a good Qb with subpar talent. We paid around $15 million so we have an unknown level of greater talent. We should curb stomp this team. If we don’t, we are in bad trouble.

 

[Chesusdog]

This thread is an ad for a supplement for men with low testosterone. ******* gorilla marketing at its finest.

 

[CaptainFalcon]

The thing people aren’t grasping, IMO, is we can be a bad team that goes 3-9 and still win this game by 3 TD’s. That is entirely within the realm of possibility.

 

[Ranchdawg]

During Huff's Southern Miss presser he said they will have to play flawless football to have a chance. Players on the field decide games. I think we have the upper hand in that area.

Exactly. I’ve never seen so many people terrified of playing a bad Sunbelt team. I can’t wait for the meltdown when people find out we play Alcorn this year.

QB was bad against the better teams on their schedule. He's a run first guy in a new passing offense.

 

[WrightGuy821]

Who did we beat last year?

That list is not very long

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

Who did we beat last year?

UMass and Eastern Kentucky

In his press conference he said 15 to 18 million. Someone must have corrected him.

 

[GloryDawg]

Not all of the Marshall transfers were starters. I would be willing to bet less than 30% of them.

I’ll take State over Southern Miss on Saturday.

Bigger question, who did we beat last year?

Damn, that's harsh.

We beat them by 3 TDs year before last... with Arnett as our head coach. I don't understand why people assume 65 new transfers to USM all of a sudden skyrockets them to SEC caliber, while our 54 transfers (or whatever it was) somehow makes us worse?

Nah. Their QB will make a few big plays with his legs because their OL will break down and he'll escape pressure a couple times, but other than that they will still be a Sunbelt team going up against an SEC team.

Comparing Marshall’s depth chart from last year to USM’s depth chart now, it’s the following starters:

- Quarterback
- 3 Receivers
- 2 DB’s

That’s it. That’s all the starters they brought from Marshall. And one of the WR’s missed a lot of time last year due to injury and one of the DB’s was technically listed as a backup at Marshall last year…. so I’m being generous to even include those guys.

If these transfers were all that great the people who know the Sunbelt Conference would have probably picked them somewhere better than 5th out of 7 teams in their division.

 

[anon1758050382]

Hot take (?): Marshall will win more games than Southern Miss in 2025.

 

[Dawg1976]

UMass and Eastern Kentucky

Oh….i forgot about those power programs.

 

[Ranchdawg]

Y'all living in the past. New season with a new team.
