Maybe I missed it, but wouldn't O'Brien have to sit a year where ever he transfers unless its a 1AA or lower level school? Even if he does come to UCONN he isn't going to solve the quarterback problem this season. that will require someone of the guys already on campus to step up.

Agreed. I think some folks feel we have a QB glut at the moment. Until we get someone who can run the offense reliably... bring in the best competition and let it play out.

Yup. Like they say, if you have 5 quarterbacks you don't have any quarterbacks.
 
Maybe DOB has some interest in us to piss RE off? Woudn't blame him and we do have an opening!

A bit of an oversimplificaiton to ignore the quality of the 5 quarterbacks, yes?

He will graduate from Umd in may so if he enrolls in a graduate program not offered at maryland then he can play right away. its the russell wilson rule
 
really? I didn't realize that. Thought he was an underclassman. I'd love to have him in the mix.
 
i would pay his trip cost from rangoonjail to uconn. i suspect other by's would pitch in for things as well. COME TO STORRS DOB!!!!!!
 
I'm an inveterate optomist but chances do appear slim for us getting O/Brien. Frankly, I'd rather concentrate on who we have. I'm feeling comfortable that someone pretty dynamic will emerge---but maybe that's just the optomist showing.

Have a hard time believing that with our corps of QB's he'd give us serious consideration. Unless PP know s something we don't

Huh? "Our corp of QB's???" Seriously. We had terrible QB play last season - and that's a disservice to the word terrible. And now, there may be too much competition at the position? Keep recruiting and keeping signing transfers until the time this situation improves dramatically on the field (on in prognostications for the up coming spring game).

It's like Johan Bruyneel used to say in the Lance Armstrong days. You simply can never have too much talent.
 
The reason why Vandy isn't on his list is because of the tampering allegation. He said he won't talk to vandy until that situation is cleared up. That's the likely place he winds up at.

I actually don't see him going to Vanderbilt. They just got a highly regarded transfer who had a solid year at Wyoming before he transferred in Austyn Carta-Samuels.

I still have not given up on O'Brien coming to UCONN. He would be a fantastic get for the team.
 
sounds like its all but a done deal hes going to PSU. was at spring poractice again, this time wearing a nitty jacket.

It could be a done deal, I have no clue, but I'm not putting a lot of stock in the fact he was wearing a PSU jacket at the spring game as the indicator it is all but a done deal. They could have just given him a team jacket to wear for the day, it was a bit cooler this weekend.

Either way, he is not coming to UConn, that much I am pretty certain of. My guess would be that if the Vandy "tampering" issues get settled, he goes to Vandy, if not...it could be PSU or where ever else he's looking.

He was wearing the Penn State jacket over a Penn State sweatshirt - maybe he borrowed that too.

He could improve his odds of getting a PSU offer by wearing PSU Underoos.

Too soon?
 
He's not coming to Uconn. Never was an option, and never will be. And if he ends up a Husky, I will not post ever again. Someone quote that I do not mind.

Lol thank you. He's not coming to UConn. Surprised he hasn't officially picked anywhere yet. Wherever he chooses, one would think he is behind the rest at this point. Spring practice has already started.

He needs to stay at Maryland the rest of the semester anyways to graduate. He is supposed to be picking in mid April. I believe he is considering PSU, Wisconsin, and Ole Miss.

but he had a nitty pair of socks on last week, how could this be?
