Riley Neal Ball State QB Transfer-To Vanderbilt

[Knightmoves]

and hope it doesn't scare him off .
Would be a good addition , but will Ash go after him?

Good question. With Ash’s history w QB’s at RU we can’t be sure that the staff would reach out to him.

All programs are more successful than we are. We are bottom feeders..

Looks like he is worth a long look:

Neal, a 2015 Yorktown graduate, finishes his Cardinals career with 32 starts at quarterback, operating as the starter in every game he dressed for since the fourth game of his freshman season. His name is all over Ball State's record book. He is third all-time in passing yards with 7,393, as he passed up Neu earlier this season. Had he stayed at Ball State, he likely would have passed Nate Davis (9,233) and finished second all-time behind Keith Wenning (11,402). He also finishes with the third-most career touchdown passes with 46, behind Wenning and Davis.

Looks like he has some running ability too:

You're starting early this year. IIRC you went through this same futile exercise in the last offseason, searching for quality grad transfers that Rutgers could get.

If only the staff was as tenacious as you.

Someone commented earlier about our OLine...

I would be curious to see how the OL grades out in game film.

Yes we saw obvious errors and sacks.. but the QB needs to see the open guy.. or where the open guy will be sooner that our QB was doing it.

The QB needs to HELP get the WRs open by making great pre-snap reads and looking off the defense. Maybe if the QB makes enough immediate throws off a pre-snap read he causes the DE and LBs to slow down a bit.. and the DC to call fewer blitzes.

I'd love to know how many times the OL gave the QB 3 seconds or more and he still got sacked because of not throwing the ball and staring down receivers and not seeing the rush to step up in the pocket, etc.
