No possible way it’s a coincidence that this kid isn’t committed anywhere yet.

It seems a really strange decision to enter the Portal unless he has something lined up.

He's at a mid-tier ACC team and played ok this year. It's not like he blew everyone out of the water.

He hasn't made a decision yet, but all signs point to him coming back for another year & entering the Portal.

His draft grade would likely be rounds 3-5 & he makes more money now off NIL than he would as a 4th or 5th rounder under contract, so he'll probably stay in college.

It's been rumored that Oregon plans on offering him a massive NIL deal at the end of the season.

There's also some rumblings that Oh ST might be trying to make a pitch to get him to come back.

If either do entice Ewers, would we have interest in any of their younger kids with high upside to come and compete with Emory? I know Oregon has Dante Moore and Sayin at OSU. Would either of them interest us?

You need a proven QB in the Portal, surely?

I’m fighting the urge, but I’m loosing optimism and hope here.

Idk what their interests would be, but me personally I'm good on Dante Moore, he stinks.

I haven't watched enough of Sayin to give a definitive opinion on him.

I would tend to agree, But at some point, the proven qbs currently in the portal may/may not elevate the ceiling more than a game or two. To me, those types are the “safe” play that can elevate us from current projection of 6-7 wins to maybe 8-9 wins. Where a high level youngster such as Dante Moore could be a boom or bust recruit. Boom - we get to the playoff, but the bust is 4-6 wins.

(edit - if Memnon good with no Dante, than I I would tend to trust his eval)

I hope he goes back to OSU would be fitting because they won't win with him either.

Then someone else will have Sayin under center next season

Really wish Morris would’ve taken more time. I’m assuming he’s signed at this point.

If we can’t get Robertson roll with Nickel. Don’t give Mendoza 1mm+. Throw money at Concepcion and another outside receiver and just give him the keys.

Concepcion is not leaving a freshman at NC State to come and play with another Freshman at Miami.

Gotta get Robertson, Hoover or Mendoza.

I am of the opinion you probably start out with Emory if not bringing someone in from the outside and slowly work Nickel in unless he outright wins the job in spring and fall ball. He has to be better than Emory to win the job.

Otherwise, you are ****ed with only Nickel and Judd as your 2 QBs.

That’s worst case.

Gotta get a portal QB that can start on day one.

Just go get Mendoza if you can at this point. He was sacked 41 times this season. Hope with our OL and a stronger run game you can get him to 3500 yards 25 TDs with a 65% completion percentage. Not sure if he will even consider since he has time already with IU and others but you have to try now. Just can’t have Emory as your QB with a true freshman pushing him lol

and he made plays under pressure. he was always running for his life.

We already gambled and lost. What’s another gamble?

If Emory is our QB next year I don't think we win 6-7 games. I don't get what this is assumption is based on. Look at our schedule and tell me which 6-7 games we are winning with Emory as our QB and why. It's possible, but it's also possible that I win the Powerball and have *** with Marisa Tomei. Not likely though.

Try to get Robertson. If that don't work try to get Mendoza. If that don't work try to get Ewers or Beck after the playoff. The last two have their issues (mental midgetry for one and throwing the ball excessively to the other team for the other) but are 100% takes when the alternative is Emory as QB or praying that a super talented kid in Nickel is ready to be the second coming on day 1 as a true freshman against a tough schedule.

But if he had something lined up already wouldn't he have signed by now. Has he even visited any of the schools who were initially linked to him?
