Cincy Transfer WR Nick Mardner ended up @ Auburn:

 

[WhereYouAt]

Ethan Miner from Wolcott/Kingswood Oxford is in the Portal after being a starter at C and OG for Arkansas State...

 

[DoctorWho85]

That's assuming he is healthy enough to be a dual threat.

Good point. Fingers crossed him, Millen and Tyler are all 100% ready fall.

 

[Palatine]

I really think Roberson is going to push the offense forward next year. He's a true dual threat which makes it a lot harder for opposing defenses to stay disciplined against.

He was injured last August. So it will 6+ months in March for spring ball. That should give us an early indication of his recovery and rehab.

Roberson hardly has game exp. Tyler hardly had game experience. Millen has hardly had game experience. So Turner probably has more game experience than the others combined.

So bringing in a seasoned guy that Charlton worked with is probably not a horrible idea.

What the heck are we going to do with 5 QB’s. Something’s gotta give. Would have liked to see Roberson and let Turner mature.

I posted elsewhere about BYU having 5 QB's (1 Jr and 4 Fr) and if you look at other rosters I'll bet you'll find similar or even larger numbers at some of the "name" schools. Even BCU had 7 this year.

The answer to what the heck are we going to do with 5 QBs, for better or worse, is that a school figures out during the season which ones won’t have a future there and runs one or two out to refresh the room.

Would immediately be QB1:

Nice TE target:



Also a WR with size:

Damien Alford, Syracuse Orange, Wide Receiver

 

[CCSUblue]

Now that season is really over and the "starters" have mostly landed, it's time for the young high upside back ups to transfer. Sam Huard and Sam Jackson are just the first ones to jump.

Now is the time for UConn to pick up some additional talent.

And based on social media follows alone, it looks like they are still wanting to add a WR.

You really need four QBs to run full practices. Many have five. Alabama had five this year even with an established stater (and likely #1 draft pick). Six is not that uncommon and a few have more.

 

[gioff2323]

HCJM, while highly unlikely, let’s reunite with the Huard family, near U dub royalty, and see if dad Damon and uncle Brock want to commute with Hugh Millen to games.

Didn’t Michigan have 9? That all played against us?

 

[CCSUblue]

It was only 7 that played (/s) Mostly because they didn't need the QB to do anything. Corum did it all.

Don forget injuries happen. A lot

Don’t like the spacing. Too many kids with no experience. I’ll take a good Grad Transfer

 

[Luna]

Do we have room for a transfer ?

 

[CCSUblue]

There's always room until you need to be under the scholarship cap.

Seems to be at least one commitment unannounced.

 

[Exit 4]

Portal window (ability to enter the portal) closes 1/18 and then reopens May 1-15th for under grads. There is no portal entrance window for grads.

1st day of classes is Tuesday. So, the current commits will be be known at that time.

Great to see him call them “big time”. I wonder who we’ll get next.

Is that more or about the same as the previous staff(s)? Because they're more visible, it seems they cast a wider net.
