QB Cole Welliver enters Transfer Portal

Um looks like he an offer from another school and took it. End of story.

Our returning QB threw only 4 picks last year. He wasn't going to lose his job. I wonder if Cole was told he wasn't going to get any NIL this season because chances are he wasn't going to play. Teams can't afford to carry non-productive assets despite the promise.

It absolutely will be “a thing” that young players are viewed as progressing at an acceptable enough rate to keep a schollie but not at a fast enough rate to keep their NIL money. Is that the case here? No idea.

Him going to Rhody would be great. If he does well there and post-Fagnano we don’t have a better QB, he can come back. If he heads back to the southwest, he’s gone for good. And, obviously, if he is handed money by a P-4 school, it will stir more unrest in the Boneyard that we should have been playing him.

According to the yard he was by far the best QB we had in the spring that he was basically named the starter for this season by fall camp of last yr. Instead of sticking it out for more than a yr the kid high tailed it instead of competing. Once again not a big loss.

Frankly, I think we would've gone undefeated and have been in contention for a playoff bid if he had started.

For us fans the offer list a transfer gets and the team he picks tells us more about the quality of the player than anything else.

Agreed. And anyone on here saying this player is ahead of that player because of something as scant as minutes of a social media post/YouTube highlight reel or a drive in a scrimmage is just guessing. I stick with a coaching staff that sees a player for hundreds of practice hours, thank you.

The poster in question has a very long history of predicting us going unbeaten just before the start of each season.

I'm well aware of Dan's prognostications. I was attempting to be humorous.

In my law firm, everyone laughs at my jokes. I'm now going to have to reconsider whether that's because I'm really funny or they're just sucking up to a senior partner.

I'll award the mulligan. It's the off-season after all, and neither of us are in "game shape" yet. But regarding the folks at your law firm? A healthy level of suspicion is always the right strategy...

Can be a disaster if Joe F. gets hurt , especially if it's early in the season.

Along with an experienced Evers…Mcdonald has been in the program a couple years…and they have the true freshman.

I keep forgetting Evers wasn’t on the team until this time last year. He really didn’t get much time to learn. I am hoping we see a much better player this year….and a stronger player.

I'm pretty sure that I already know the answer.

If our QB room didn't consist of a QB who only got the starting gig because the starting QB from last year got hurt, a QB who looked awful last year, and a bunch of lesser known QBs, I'd feel ok about this. Seeing how our QB room DOES consist of what I listed above, losing Welliver makes me angry. However, maybe he wasn't as good as we thought. I just worry he'll head somewhere else and blow up.

Wish the kid the best. As many here said, this is the new norm. If a top level recruit doesn't start by year two, they're gone. Seems Cole wasn't even going to be QB 2.

Why would you care how Fagnano got the starting gig, as opposed to the numbers he put up once he got it?
 
The kid was a Charlton recruit and it’s glaringly obviously Sammis is super adamant on having a QB that can move (Started Evers for way too long, recruited Farrar who had a lot of rushing yards in high school). It wouldn’t take much analysis to see that Cole doesn’t quite fit that mold. Joe can get by at least. Unless he was too good to pass up, the chances Cole was getting in games were low.

How many schools are going in to Fall camp with more than one known QB?

It makes you angry to lose one of those lesser known QBs?...would it make you angry if it was McDonald? What about K2?
