Todays kids man, check out the portal, it's full of them. They used to be stuck to compete/grow/learn/provide depth. Now they just move on elsewhere. It's why this "plan" will never work and especially at Miami. Trust me.
Elite HS football players are on the "3 years and a paycheck" plan. You go in some 5 star kids living room and tell him you want him to be a 4th yr Junior backup and he will laugh you out the door and wipe his *** with your signing papers
Kids only have to be at school for 3 years. Makes no difference if it's 3 years of playing (part or full time), or 2.333 years and a redshirt.
If you give meaningful playing time to a kid (4 games as a true freshman), almost nobody will transfer after 1 year. "4th year junior backup", now that's a different story, and maybe if a kid is still a backup after 4 years, maybe just maybe he SHOULD transfer, though I'm not sure the SEC/Big 10 offers will still be there.
