Re: McClain gone
Wow. I wonder what precipitated this move? Kind of puts us in a bind, yes? Three QBs on the roster? One is a freshman.
Plan your work, work your plan.

I'll take it at face value. He must think Scott is coming.

There could be any number of reasons for this that don't include our QB depth. I wish him well.

Re: McClain gone
To clarify, I do still think we have a shot at Scott, but I'm certainly not confident enough to make a huge life decision based on him coming here.Saintgreenie wrote:Unfortunately I'm less optimistic than him.Baywave1 wrote:I'll take it at face value. He must think Scott is coming.

Re: McClain gone
That's definitely a plus in our favor. I guess we'll know for sure his decision on us soon (officially has until the 19th to enroll I believe).
FWIW, we also offered QB Riley Smith out of FL yesterday (don't know a ton about him other than a ton of non-P5 offers; highlights remind me a lot of Banks based on eye test).

Re: McClain gone
There's been rumors of this for a while over on Rivals. I can't imagine it has anything to do with Scott...you couldn't ask for a more wide open depth chart.Baywave1 wrote:I'll take it at face value. He must think Scott is coming.

Re: McClain gone
If you go back and listen to FTW's interview with Graf from before our opening game this past season, it sounded like WF was very high on McClain, that he'd be next in line after Banks, and that he was only third string this year due to lack of experience. "Heir apparent", if you will. While it's possible that his position with WF declined over the course of the year (perhaps he showed he has some limitations not seen in preseason), the timing of this announcement strikes me as him knowing something that we don't, perhaps about Scott's plans. Personally, I'm not expecting us to get Scott, but why else would McClain's announcement happen now and not several weeks ago? Another angle: did first semester grades just come back?

Re: McClain gone
I had high hopes for McClain, have to wonder what happened.

Re: McClain gone
Does Ledford go back to QB if we don't pick up another one now?
Re: McClain gone
I think the pecking order would be Banks, Daniels, Ledford, and Hurst until we add a signature or two. QB transfers are definitely on the uptick. Between playing time, coaching changes, school, and other reasons, transferring is evolving into its own little recruiting niche. Can’t blame the kids in most instances and with coaching changes, transferring should be available without any limitations.
Re: McClain gone
I am not for the without limitations. I would argue that perhaps they should get an extra transfer red-shirt year on top of red-shirt year.tjtlja wrote:I think the pecking order would be Banks, Daniels, Ledford, and Hurst until we add a signature or two.

There is also Miles Lapeyere as a walk-on.

Re: McClain gone
Ledford is on scholarship, he is called a QB on the roster. He is almost certainly going to line up there.

This is all pretty insane, especially if we don't land Scott or the equivalent.long green wrote:Ledford is on scholarship, he is called a QB on the roster. He is almost certainly going to line up there.
Re: McClain gone
It seems that the majority of this is that 300 kids think they should have 130 starting QB spots. and most of those 300 think they're going to the NFL. So, once they're not the starter at the school they originally chose, they try to find another school where they will be the starter. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of planning for the future when you're not one of the 12 or so guys drafted by the NFL.tjtlja wrote:QB transfers are definitely on the uptick.

Re: McClain gone
don't you WANT a kid who thinks he should start and thinks he's going to the NFL? I'd shy away from any kid that thinks "well, I'm just shooting to be a back up for a college team.. you know, few snaps in garbage time, wave in the signals and then go to grad school".. sure, for most that's a reality... but you shouldn't be setting your bar that low.ml wave wrote:Hard to unilaterally blame the kids, especially without knowing what they're told when being recruited.MattK wrote:It seems that the majority of this is that 300 kids think they should have 130 starting QB spots. and most of those 300 think they're going to the NFL.
