Would be a dream come true..... but he ain't coming here.

Wouldn't be the first Notre Dame QB to transfer to UCONN, but would be the first senior QB to transfer to UCONN from Notre Dame. The last one worked out pretty well though. Won a lot of games with that guy at QB.

Paging Coach Booby. Coach Booby - line 1 for Mr. Kelly.

I assume that's a call Diaco can make and have answered. But I have no reason to get my hopes up on this being a possibility unless I hear that he (not the Boneyard) is interested.

You don't really know the answer to any question if you don't ask. landing a college post grad senior for a year with the playing experience like this guy has to go with our current QB situation? Nice dream.

I need to be convinced that Everett Golson is The Answer to anyone’s quarterback issues. Was a turnover machine, inconsistent last year.

Hey Dan,

Put in a tape of UConn from 14 (pick a game, any game) and then tell me if you are now convinced.

I would think Diaco would/should at least try to get him interested in coming here for his grad year... right?? I think we all know he's not truly 100% satisfied with his QB options right now.

Couldn't get on the board for a minute... For some reason this board "shorts" out from time to time (at my job) it seems...

yes, I saw this... http://notredame.247sports.com/Article/BREAKING-Golson-Transferring-ESPN-Reports-37160719

To Dan's comment about him being a turnover machine... He wasn't any worse than us... As an offensive unit last year, we were a 3and out/TurnOver machine...

heck yeah...

It's going to be a long offseason

 

[ktuck911]

According to the article link I posted... 24 schools have inquired about him... would be pretty tough to get him here...

Wait, you don't think he wouldnt choose UCONN over LSU?

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

This should be interesting. He isn't Russell Wilson level good as a transfer. I don't think he is good enough to go to a top program and get more then a 50 percent shot at starting. He has one year....does he roll the dice? If I am a top school....do I want to complicate my team chemistry by bringing in a one year decent QB?

I don't think its a good fit for Golson or a big program. If he comes to UConn he has a 90 percent chance to start and would be welcomed by the team. Golson has had the big program experience and now he needs a high probability of playing time.

Sounds like UConn is the right fit to me.

"He wasn't any worse than us.."

Please tell me that's not the new Transfer Evaluation Standard.

Even if that's true, it's not like his choices are either Ohio State, or UConn. There's a lot in between and I'm sure there's some options out there where he would start but would also have a better team around him.

I think someone needs to volunteer to go hang out the car wash.

I agree. I was just trying to talk myself into it being possible

Virginia starting QB on the market w/ 2 yrs of eligibility left and able to play this fall.

Had offers from UVA, Bama, Clemson, UGA, Louisville, Miami, and USCe coming out in class of 2012.

Here's the only reason for the post ----- his recruiter @ UVA was current UConn Coach Vincent Brown!

 

[CTGoonie]

How is he eligible to play this fall without sitting out 1 year?

Graduating... "Lambert is scheduled to graduate June 23, meaning he would be eligible to play wherever he went, with two years of eligibility left."

Would be a terrific way to backfill the shortage at UConn's qb position, but this kid will want guarantees that he's the starter wherever he goes.
