Not unless they guarantee the player he will start immediately.

I think the point of the OP is no one is going to be able to stack talent anymore. People will walk if they don't play right away. We are seeing it already. You've got 5 stars transferring out of schools like OSU and Bama because they are 2nd or 3rd on depth chart.

Exactly. And, Vandy and MTSU aren't the best examples for how the parity is going to play out. A team like Missouri is, though. The Tigers build a lot of depth in the last two offseasons by bringing in rotational players from good P5 programs around the country: Clemson, Miami, Florida, Florida St., Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St., Oregon, Arizona St. There's no way that Mizzou would be as solid as they are right now without those additions.

And, yes, Mizzou has lost couple great players to teams higher in the food chain (Dom Lovett-Georgia, Mekhi Wingo-LSU), but what they've brought in has filled those holes pretty well.
