Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 2888183, member: 271"] Transfers with plenty of eligibility are good if need be, I didn’t mention them. So, so JUCOs with two years to play are nice insurance but they can hinder development of our recruited freshmen. Lorenzen, Pindell and Whitmer were all decent players but only Pindell is an exciting talent. Lorenzen was incredibly limited (yes, he won games, we know) and Whitmer was nothing special. I’d rather give our young guys playing time next year over having a Whitmer or a Lorenzen and maybe even a Pindell. As I said, our success with JUCOs has been mixed. That’s probably generous. We really need to start farming our own QBs and creating stability and leadership at the position. From a fan perspective, we’ve had little time to really enjoy or appreciate a good QB for long. Shirreffs was closest but again, not a JUCO. Even with him, Edsall tried to pull the plug before realizing what a gaffe that was. My point is simply that we have some good QB prospects, let’s develop one for once. I don’t want to see Washington, Krajewski or some other kid playing for the Packers after riding pine here again anytime soon. To answer your question: 1. Cochran 2. Endres 3. Boyle (we screwed the pooch there) 4. Lagow (again) 4. Possibly Nebrich (probably screwed that pooch too) Plenty of good prospects have come through Storrs beginning as freshmen. Bad luck, bad judgment, bad coaching and bad decisions have killed us at QB. Let’s give the guys we have some on the job training and use the JUCO ranks for some big guys on D and some speed anywhere else on the field we can put it. [/QUOTE]
