Gunner Kiel to transfer!

[Buffett10]

The kid is leaving ND because he doesn't like being 4th on the depth chart. I remember people on this board pretty much killing a kid because some perceived that he didnt like or want competition. Also it's not a good sign of making 4 commits in a yr and a half.

I thought I read he was 4th on the depth chart. Good reason to move on.

I'm not claiming that I want him here (I really like the two kids we're bringing in this class and I don't want to spook them any further) but this may be on Kelly. For some reason he loves bringing in pocket QB's only to have them sit behind mobile QB's.

Brian Kelly's offensive philosophy is well documented on film. Any pro-style QB who commits to ND must know what he's getting into.

Some guys just don't quite have the maturity to make it. Kiel seems to be one of those guys.

I have no doubt he was a better HS QB than every QB on our roster, but he's not right now.

Think of the stock market. Apple WAS up around $700...now its $430. That doesn't mean you should rush to pay $600 for Apple right now. Stock's move up and down in value, and so do players once we gain more information about them.

By the way, I feel great that I just dismissed the notion of wanting a transfer QB. Had we not landed both Boyle AND Lagow, I think I still would have liked the potential upside. With Boyle AND Lagow, I feel good that we have our future QB here...finally.

No rush on Cincy. With their ridiculous loop hole because of their different academic calendar, he can play anywhere he wants for a game or two, transfer to Cincy, and be on the field for them a couple weeks later.

Cincy's on the semester schedule now.

So your saying you would not be excited if Gunner Kiel was to transfer to Uconn? The #1 QB out of high school last year.

IMHO, the next good QB after Dan, I would say Chandler Whitmer! I know he threw a lot of interception, but not all were his fault. The OL wasn't all that great, and GDL had Whitmer with his back against the wall, the defense's already new our plays, plus he had to deal with 3rd and long frequently

The kid doesn't want to compete. He has the typical star athlete entitlement thing going on. Bunch of family filling his head with "what he deserves". Do not want.

He bailed on LSU at the last minute because he was scared to compete, and is now bailing on ND for the same reason. not the kind of kid I'd want around the program. #1 QB in small time Indiana HS football does not really mean much. Look at Mitch Mustain for a recent comparison.

I get so tired of folks who have no idea who a kid is or what he is thinking made conclusory statements, because they can. STFU. If he was afriad of competition, don't you think he would have opted for IU over ND? Kids make mistakes - they select schools for all the wrong reasons. Maybe he is overrated, maybe he will never reach that 5 star potential that only matters when you want to trash a kid or talk about recruiting site failings. Do you really need to trash a teenager so you can feel a little bit better about your lot in life?

trashing teenagers anonymously online is the most American thing ever.

Yeah, he went to ND to get away from the competition.....got it..........

 

[Jerry1714]

Don't get me wrong I'm happy with our current situation, but who wouldn't want a former #1 QB? I mean rivals compares this kid to Peyton Manning. Again, If he comes or not i'm still happy with our situation.

Get over the #1 thing. If he was Peyton manning he would not be behind Reese on the depth chart.

If i remember right...

Keil committed to indiana
Then to LSU
Then signed with ND
Is now leaving ND 1 year in

strange

Sounds like he might have a future as a FBS head coach!

 

[TouchdownHusky]

Sign 'em.

Probably going to keep looking until some coach guarantee's his mom that he will be the starter out the gates. And to UconnDogs, yes he went to ND because he thought there would be no competition. Tommy Rees was on the outs, and Golsen was their only other real QB.

Did Tuberville pledge not to sign any other QB's for the next 2 or 3 years?
