Agree on Wyatt. Rescigno has a good chance to step up.We can expect some real competition.6 QBs returning,2 of whom are walkons, 3 frosh,2 of whom are walkons.IMHO,Wyatt is the long term sleeper.It will be interesting!!!!
Thanks!Laviano- RS Jr
Rettig- RS Jr
Rescigno- RS So.
Michael Dare-So.
Troy Anthony- Sr
Jack Clements-So.
Tylin Oden-Fr (RS?)
Matteo Vitale-Fr (RS?)
Tom Wyatt-Fr. (RS?)
Wyatt will need a year to work on his throwing mechanics. They need work (he short arms throws), but once corrected and he develops consistent accuracy without reverting back to bad form, he should challenge.
Fixed. No good deed goes unpunished. This stuff can be looked up on the roster and cobbled together from the offers.Yes, he and Clements should be RS Freshman.
There will be at least a couple heading for the door when they see this offense really doesn't fit their skill set.
Just for Jollies here is my order of QB many guys are sight unseen.
This is who is quick minded,
then who is correct on that snap decision,
and finally who has the athleticism to make the quick minded decision and good enough to execute...Roll Call
#1 Laviano- RS Jr ( he has the most experience and should start till someone breaks out)
#2 Michael Dare-RS So. (has the potential to grow into effective spread QB)
#3 Rescigno- RS So (has the potential to grow into effective spread QB needs more reps)
#4 Tylin Oden-Fr (RS?) (too green to start this year but a quick learner could be playing by Nov.)
#5 Rettig- RS Jr (has not shown the quicks to make the power spread option plays IMHO)
#6 Jack Clements- RS So. (Total unknown)
#7&8 Matteo Vitale-Fr (RS?) &Tom Wyatt-Fr. (RS?)( Ditto(Totally Unknown) and freshmen to boot)
#9 Troy Anthony- Sr (Where have you been for 3 years?)
It should be an interesting summer. I hope Ash and company handles the situation better than ....lol
With so many QBs competing, we are now a legitimate QB factory.
Wow has this board turned on Rettig, this time last year the majority were saying he was the savior of the program, then he plays a good half against an FCS squad, doesn't see the field for any meaningful snaps (because flood had an agenda) and all of a sudden a true freshman and a couple of backups have passed him? I think Ash sees he has the most potential to work with this year and is named starter to run a hybrid spread/pro offense...I also can't get excited over any PWO QBs, if any are to start a game I'd have to seriously question the the eye for talent on this board as I recall the excitement over bringing in Dare and to a lesser extent Gio when they signed.To further define my point on #5 I do not think he has the mental quickness to make fast decisive calls. Physically quickness is not so much of the issue, whereas, the mental quickness will be his shortcoming.
But like all predictions "time will tell"
C U at the Spring game!
I wouldn't say "the board". It's one or two people that may have changed their mind or always felt that way. I believe Rettig has a good a shot as any of the QBs to get the job. Laviano and Rettig will battle it out during the spring just like they did last year. The younger guys (Dare and Gio especially) will be fighting to catch up. Because everyone is starting a new offense, it will be interesting to see who catches on quickest.Wow has this board turned on Rettig, this time last year the majority were saying he was the savior of the program, then he plays a good half against an FCS squad, doesn't see the field for any meaningful snaps (because flood had an agenda) and all of a sudden a true freshman and a couple of backups have passed him?

Maybe an over exaggeration but if someone put up a poll I bet there is a large contingent that have dropped rettig (for really no reason that any of us have seen with our own eyes) in their ranking of the QBs on staff.I wouldn't say "the board".

Check out this video .........
Observe, who seems to be the most "athletic" ....... just because someone fits the "pro style" doesn't necessarily mean they ain't athletic and can't run a spread.
Hello? I cannot tell who is "most athletic" or most likely to succeed in running the spread. Who gets your vote?
Lav ran into the Coach, so he gets minus points for that and that will make some folks happy. :rolleyes:
More aggressive roll? [roll]How's the one to the left?Look again and see who was doing a more aggressive roll. I know I know, I'm reaching, but hey, it's the off season!
Nice find! Wonder if he and Harris (the WR) play catch with a football during down time.Well if all 9 go down we still have Carmen!
