Any chance?

 

[RU4Real]

Any chance?

Probably in his best interest to run away. This program is the Black Hole of Quarterback Transfers.

 

[Knight Shift]

Any chance?

There's always a chance. . . .

 

[MV9000]

Going to place our chances at around 0-5%.

 

[yesrutgers01]

We need another QB to WR transfer

The last one from Texas who played WR saw game action . . .

Sounds like he has a hard time dealing with rejection:

During the spring, he was vocal on Twitter about his lack of playing time during the Orange and White game, even though head coach Charlie Strong planned on giving him some snaps in the second half before having to cancel the final two quarters because of rain the area.

After that outburst and reports that the Maryland product was out of favor with the coaching staff, Locksley opted to follow fellow former quarterback Jerrod Heard in making a move to wide receiver during fall camp.

Do we have any big donors with extra bags of money hanging around? It works for the sec.

His father had some major anger issue also. I would think Rutgers fan would have learned by now that transfer QBs are not solution. How many have to be failures to realize that chances are it not going to work. There is a reason why he moved to wide receiver.

 

[cicero grimes]

This is not the solution.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

He is not coming here unless he is going to start. The second he is benched or doesn't win the starting job, he will look to transfer before taking a single class.

In other words, no.

Could be some interesting situations arising from a setup like that.

Son: "Dad, can I have some money to go buy a new iPhone?"

Dad: "Sorry, son. I'm afraid that would be a recruiting violation."

Well, we need WRs BADLY too.

 

[Dpgru]

No more QBtransfers please

 

[RU4Real]

I also recognize that this would not be the best solution.

 

[knightfan7]

We need another QB to WR transfer

From Texas no less.

Are they supposed to come in pairs?

 

[urbanecane]

I'm not against taking QB transfers, but not after they have been switched to WR. QB is going to be a fun position to monitor this offseason. It's going to be transfers galore.

is this guy a good practice qb? if so lets get him, he was signed by texas so he has to be good

Bo Melton and Amir Mitchell will be the among top WR tandem next year in the B1G
