Twin sister at Oregon? ****.

Yes - but not an issue because Oregon picked up the 5* qb from UCLA last offseason - he’s “projected” to be the starter next year

 

[CaneThang2020]

IMO, a better fit than Weigman for the system we currently run. Mensah on play action behind our OL and running game would keep the offense humming. It would look different than this year for sure, but would be very effective. Weigman does intrigue me though. He or Arnold could also look totally different in new surroundings with better situations.

I’m hopeful we’ll be able to land one of the 3. Personally, I’m leaning towards to Texas kids - anything to help us in recruiting the state. I think either could get it done.

I’m also torn on wanting to see how well Emory has progressed - I’ve said all along that we need to find multi year stability at the QB position (preferably guys we develop that are more likely to stay)

The way the K State game ended left a bad impression that I held onto. But I watched a few games last night and while I still think Mateer should be option 1, I’d definitely move this guy closer to that tier and above most if not all of that second tier.

He has a little Cam to his game. Good and bad.

How does he compare and rank to Arnold?

 

[OrangeBowlMagic]

How are we returning 4 starting O-linemen? Unless you're considering Bell a starter?

Rivers and Carpenter are gone.

That’s it.

That’s it.

Figured. So we're returning 3 starters. And possibly Rodriguez at Center, which he was a starter to begin the year, albeit at guard.

Yeah, I mean to be fair Bell started what, 5 games? I think that’s a reasonable amount to call him a starter.

Do we have a dedicated QB coach? Or,. Is it by committee or OC? Don’t think I have heard mention of anyone specfic, if not, wouldn’t it be a good idea to have a possible 3yr kid under the tutelage of a QB guy. Just askin’

It’s Dawson.

break our bank vault!

 

[Paranos]

Interesting young man, but bringing him would send the wrong message to the current QB's on the roster and the 2026 Qb commit.



Go Canes

Go Canes

Competition at every position is key to success. Iron sharpens iron. That should be the message

 

[CanesAreAble]

My comp would be Chris Leak. Maybe more juice in the arm.

I was thinking Kaaya, but with better feet.

Are you referring to Brad Kayak?

 

[CanesAreAble]

Arnold has more upside, but it's more of a projection with him.

Mensah has legitimate production, albeit at a lower level (but with less talent around him).

My mistake.

Darn auto-correct.

Arnold's supporting cast wasn't very good this year either and he played tougher competition. With D$ posting a profile on this guys it's most like the guy we're probably zeroing in on.

Does Jeremiah smith know his name

I like Arnold. He definitely has more upside and his situation stunk at OU.

That said, it's still a projection.

I'm good with either.
