Interesting that he was on campus this weekend. Dual threat QB, two years to play two can play right away. http://www.foxsports.com/college-fo...ursuit-of-graduate-transfer-zach-allen-052016
Zach Allen TCU transfer
- Thread starter JeepGuy999
- Start date
He was once committed to Syracuse. That should be a big red flag about his mental health
As well as Drew Mehringer, the Rutgers Football twitter account, and a Rutgers recruiting assistant. Let's just say he's interested.
Meh. His passing average is 8.5 yards per completion. We already have a QB who can throw short passes.
If the coaches think we need him, then hope we get him. Remember, fans want at least 5-6 wins but our QB might not get us there.
We do? Who's that?
Thoughts
RU has to see him work out a lot with his lack of playing and game film.... Really nothing to go by in college
I find it a bit disheartening that we seem to be scrambling around for a Qb that can play immediately, the staff not feeling secure with what we have right now ....
Or, they are just following every lead for any prospect, this we can hope.

Do you feel secure with what we have now?
We have 2 QBs who can't run and are just average throwing the ball. Would not be surprised if this kid came in and ran the offense better. Would at least give some time to get Oden ready.
You are right, there is another Zach Allen from Conneticut who went to BC.
He have a QB who can "float" short passes out to his RB's who immediately get crushed by the opposing defense as a result.
Your right he's from Temple, TX
Was a 3* with offers from TCU , Syracuse and Minnesota in his Rivals recruiting profile

yup Zach was going to early enroll into SU to play in Marrone/Hackett system but they left right when he was suppose to enroll. TCU came in late while SU were deciding on a coach and OC. Zach decided to enroll into TCU as a result. He hasn't played a lot. Actually played WR at TCU this past year.
I don't see any evidence of "scrambling". Seems like they are just exploring possibilities and listening to see if someone is better and can help win. Rather have that than complacency.
Why is it so difficult for RU to find QBs???? For the past several years, schools like Houston, Cinn, and Wash State have had them! Our last good QB was Mike Teel at the end of his time here. And that is now ancient history!!!!!!!
Laviano can run pretty well, but is just an average thrower, at best. Rettig is an average runner who has a serious gun for an arm (but we don't have enough to go on to see how he'd do in real games).

which corresponds with the last part of my rambling, incoherent post...

not seeing practices, I had some sort of hope that things might have been improving greatly.....
According to nj.com he's in the midst of a 2-day official visit. Looks promising.
On a related note does anyone know how Dare has looked? Whenever anyone talks about the QB competition they mention Laviano, Rettig, Gio, and now Oden and leave out Dare.

The golf team could use some help if they would let him be a dual guy. Has to be hit it further than throwing it.
Savage had a pretty good Frosh year but things between him and RU went south. Nova was ok despite the revolving door at OC. He had some great games. He had some stinkers. For all the good Schiano did, recruiting and developing QB's during his time was not one of them. Flood was well, Flood.
During their time both brought in 4* transfers. Natale didn't pan out and it doesn't seem Rettig will. This is why I'm not putting much into another transfer way down in the depth chart at his old school.
Always good to have more competition and a guy who is a dual threat in our new system.
To those of you who continue to bash all of our QB's, you are making it very clear that you know too little about the game and just blame the QB and HC. Keep it up. The more you repeat yourselves the lower your IQ rating dips.
