Now that some of the Portal news is out of the bag

[Zbrod95]

Apply for what? Please don’t reply with waiver…

Cribby said it himself without saying it. The “QB” has to apply for a waiver. Meaning rather it’s guaranteed or not, he still has to apply for it.

 

[Tony4Canes]

@TheOriginalCane / @TheOriginalBuff and @WaterburyCane are correct.

@Tony4Canes - and anyone else - stand down on your for now.

Nope

He's out of eligibility

 

[The Rocket]

can’t wait for the photoshop of the old sports illustrated cover with Marino and kosar but with tua and taulia’s heads.

 

[Kingq1118]

Please no Tag, saw enough of him. He’s not a good QB.

And no Pratt too

 

[Brains]

Ward, Pratt, Lil Tua (in that order).

I don't trust Gabriel with injuries.

247 is reporting there is contact with Jordan McCloud from JMU. His coach is now at Indiana so I assume they are the front runner.

 

[Zbrod95]

Same with Pratt then because there's no indication he isn't going pro.

Pratt is actually considered a Junior by class.

That’s a guy I said to watch out for as well. Him and Walker fit the WVU/Houston style QB. I figured he is a fallback for Walker?

 

[Kingq1118]

If miami go after Pratt I will lose my mind

 

[Cribby]

What would the timetable on a Taulia waiver be?

No later than late August

 

[Cribby]

taulia in our offense should be the number 1 target.

People not liking this is mind blowing lol. Dudes a three thousand yard passer that can move that’s been surrounded by mediocre talent. On top of that he wants to come here with his family and we wouldn’t have to break the bank. Hes tier 1

That's good. Thought it might reach out until September

with all the options in the portal for "rentals" he just seems so unproven

1 amazing year - absolute mediocrity every other year

 

[The U is back to work]

- Cam Ward
- Michael Pratt
- Taulia Tagovailoa

Fine with any of these three and we’d be on track for a solid season.

That part is very key. Allows you to spend around him, even better if it’s multi-year starters to set you up well in 2025.

I’d take him no questions asked. Some of the forced throws are just him trying too hard to make the exceptional play, I think he’d be perfectly ok in this system and a guy that can lead us to 9-10 wins. I do hope we go after a WR1 to push the room some more, a true game-changing type of guy.

2 of those aren't in the portal

think people just attach themselves to the ones with local ties like Pratt and Taulia - because imo there are several options better than both

hes a good fit, but No way the staff can take a chance waiting on the waiver

 

[TwentySix]

Regardless of how you feel about him as a QB does anyone really want to put the fate of our starting quarterback in the hands of the NCAA? I just don’t even see what his argument is for an additional year.

I’m not going to rehash the last several pages of this thread, but I’ll just correct you. Taulia would not need to apply for a waiver.

Yea but he's accepted a Senior Bowl invite. So unless he changes his mind..
