QBS in the Portal as of 11/28

[Bunker Mentality]

I agree with what you’re saying for the most part. However, like you said at the beginning of your response the **** doesn’t look too **** good right now. The portal window is still open, but most of the legit options have either already committed or the window for their particular school has expired. Mario’s arrogance ****ed us with the Mateer all in. I’m sure he felt it was another Ward situation. Obviously it wasn’t and there were other options they didn’t pursue.

Jackson Arnold should have Plan A
Mendoza Plan B

End of story. I think we could have easily got either of those two.

I liked Arnold but would not have had a chance at Mateer. He showed no willingness to wait it out and followed his old OC to Miss St.; so who knows if we really had an opportunity with him. The staff have much more information than we do and I'm sure they're operating in a manner they feel gives []__[] the best outcome.

I think we’ve handled this as poorly as possible and we are going into spring with Emory the starter. I’m calling it. I think we’ve missed all the qb’s.

Into spring it’s likely we have Emory and Nickel, but hard to believe that if Beck and Ewers do end up going to the NFL, that we don’t tamper and find ourselves a QB in the spring portal window

Ohio State recruits QBs probably better then anyone the last 10 + years.. I would take him just based on that

Plenty of duds and last couple of starting QBs were transfer portal

I agree but next to Emory starting that’s worst case scenario. No good qb will enter in the spring. It will just be competition for Emory and then Emory will win the job because of his “knowledge “ of the offense.

So **** frustrating everything that’s happened with this program since November 1st.

Who EXACTLY do you believe we made a mistake not taking?

we'll never know if mario called mendoza or not - he may have just wanted to go to Indiana / play with his brother

but if we didn't, that would be a miss considering how it's looking right now (unless we end up with beck or ewers)

CIS would have rioted if we took Mendoza the first week he was in the portal.

Before the bowl game, definitely. After the bowl game, tunes changed, mine included, because with Emory we had heard that they liked what they had and how he was coming along, but it was clear he’s shown no development. He looks like he did as a freshman. Maybe worse.

I still have no idea how they went into the season with him as the primary backup. That’s insane negligence if I can use that word. Like they saw him every day, knew what they had - and you know they knew based on the play calls for him in the bowl game - and they said, yeah this is our guy.

Based on the pieces I’ve seen on the board, from people who ordinarily know things, I’d guess that they told him Mateer was the target and he waited and when that didn’t work out and UM didn’t pivot to him with the vigor he wanted to see, he said eff you and went to Indiana. JUST A GUESS.

If I had known that Emory developed not an iota from when I last saw him in a game, I would have cried on here for them to lock up someone quickly. Mateer didn’t even give them a courtesy visit. How brutal. What a fail.

Carson beck will look even better if he’s playing with responsible drivers. Do you disagree?

 

[hurricaneman]

I have to imagine Dawson leaves if they don't land someone in the portal. He'd be crazy not to. His stock won't get higher than it is now.

He should.

 

[Squid Bumciorek]

He should.

And then Ken Dorsey replaces Dawson, and Dorsey can coach Emory into being Dorsey Jr

Would have loved a Miller Moss right now

Not only did they miss, but in some instances they didn't even try.

Which is even worse if you think about it.

Said it the minute he entered. Major major miss for us. Would have thrived here.

Has anyone checked when other schools start Spring classes? Guess could be some behind the scene dealings going on
