Kyle McCord enters portal
- Thread starter kupuna133
- Start date
Very interesting, indeed. I wonder if this is primarily about making more NIL money or a dissatisfaction with his growth/development there.
He wanted to be guaranteed the starting position. Day said you have to compete for it. So he left.
Kyle McCord as your QB, you would definitely win 9 games with that schedule next year
He would have to be a take .
He’s got good numbers . But we don’t have a Harrison , Henderson or that OL
Hard pass. He looked just OK with a superior supporting cast. We need another Penix Jr. Damn autocorrect correct changed x to s.
Give me a fvcking break. We had the worst passer in D1 last year.
Ryan Day needed a fall guy for losing to Meatchicken.
Schiano should be fired immediately if he doesn't at least kick the tires there. (And I consider myself a Schiano supporter.)

Pretty much this. I have no idea what a McCord "costs" nowadays but putting that aside if he wants to come here captain Kirk and Greg should personally drive to Columbus to pick him up.
I agree that he looked better than he is with the supporting cast .
But rutgers has to take him if he wants to come.
Meanwhile forum jocks here would hem and haw and whether McCord should come here v. other QBs, without giving a penny to RU NIL.
Frankly, I see this as a rather bizarre development. A rather successful season by all accounts and he's transferring now? Even if the story is true (that he wants to be guaranteed the position and not have to compete for it), that USED TO BE the kind of the thing you'd hear about in the Spring, then play out in Summer, THEN you'd hear of the dissatisfaction by players as the next-in-line starts over you come the beginning of the following season.
Part of the problem with the transfer portal is that it's sped up that process. If a player does not receive satisfaction, they transfer immediately so as to not miss out on opportunities elsewhere (regardless of whether or not it's NIL $-related). You come to find out, after they do transfer, that they experience the same problems at their next stop.

Waste of time discussion because a vast majority on this board don’t donate to NIL. Thus RU won’t have a shot at him- so he won’t want to come.
I think OSU prefers a running QB and the fact that they did not beat Michigan gives them the motivation to look for a new QB
Maybe part of a package deal with some WR’s and a TE. OSU probably has some former four star third and fourth stringers. McCord wouldn’t have won more than six games at RU this season. GW broke Indiana’s back with that long TD run and did the same against VT by running for a long TD.
Maybe they will try to get wimsatt ?
I agree with you. It's even more strange that - following a string of mobile QBs - they didn't have one already waiting in the wings.
Wherever he goes, there will be more NIL money than Rutgers can offer.
I’m guessing no since Wimsatt hasn't been consistent enough to live up to being a four star as a thrower. Nobody is projecting GW to the NFL…at least not yet. A Gronk-like TE would help GW immensely.
(to me) Not the type of player you drop NIL bags to get. He's leaving Ohio State because it's clear the program wants to move on from him.
I think it is just simply he isn't good enough for the expectations at osu. Their expectations are future NFL starters at qb every year. And that can all be true but that doesn't mean he isn't good enough for us right now.
he's not coming to RU regardless
Gavin Wimsatt almost beat this guy. There were lots of OSU QBs i would have wanted through the years, next
You heard what Schiano said in the presser yesterday. Open up your wallet if you want several of these top names to wind up here. “ Even if we wanted to” We don’t have the money.” I think that’s what he said ? He was very honest and more than a few have said the same at other schools.
That’s what always surprised me about his commitment. Was weirder when Ewers joined early to be tue 2nd QB in that recruiting class.
Ultimately Buckeye fans got spoiled with Fields and Stroud. Hard for anyone to live up to that standard.
we could offer him 2 million in NIL, he isn't coming here. This isn't the type of kid that we should even be discussing. I'm sure Day already has his QB lined up and told him to hit the road.
Forced out by OSU. They are going to pay top $$ for a new QB.
Do you know how much it would have opened up the run if Rutgers had a legit throwing threat? Sure he not going rush for 143 yards against Indiana but I am sure as hell he would throw for far more than 39 yards and open the running game up so much more.
I'm not sure why you say that. None of us have any idea but I'm in the camp that thinks he was encouraged to leave. Maybe coming to his dad's alma mater for less NIL money would be appealing to him. We don't know. But we do know that if he's looking for a big NIL payday, this is not the right place. We need to allocate our resources toward keeping our defense and getting a wide receiver and tight end.
The kid is very very talented. Just not - OSU QB and top QB in college - talent. Top 10-15 college QB, 100%. NFL caliber, 100%. If he has interest at RU, GS will 100% get it done. Question is does he have interest. And I’m not a Wimsatt hater but McCord would be the most talented QB in RU history, no question.
Wonder if OSU might not try for Dillon Gabriel who just entered the portal from OU
Yep had a bunch of beers with his father back then. Hahahaha. Had a couple friends that overlapped.
He would make us SO MUCH more balanced and effective on offense. A legit passing threat that could use the whole field. Okay, so he's not a running QB. I can deal with that.
But I don't see him coming here.
