Grayson McCall from Coastal Carolina entered the portal and took his name out in January. Michael Pratt was rumored to potentially be entering the transfer portal until his sister transferred there for basketball from Columbia...
Sling Blade Billy Napier looked at dozens of potential QB transfers and he personally hand-selected Graham Schmutz.
You missed the part where I said "if" we find a good replacement and we don't have a full list of portal names right now. The Coastal QB would be an upgrade.
The money worked with TVD earlier this offseason and now he's asking for more. So throw his money at someone else if you need to or convince the kid to stay. Those are the options. Overpay to keep your guy or overpay to take their guy. Thats how FA works
This offense can be learned in a week. The more important aspect would be the transfer working with the WRs as much as possible on timing and all that...
Levi's is probably a bust. I'm not saying that TVD can't hold a clip board in the league.
I agree it would be a big setback. Brown needs another year. I don't want Brown forced play this year.
McCall the Coastal Carolina qb is all Auburn apparently. The other thing you and others are ignoring is that we aren’t a desirable destination currently for qbs/skill position players. We’ve made no progress bringing in WRs in the portal, but a qb that’s as good/better than DVD is going to choose us over other programs to play with our skill position talent? Please.
McCall I can live with, even if he might be a system qb.
I think he would do well at bama when they put talent everyone. When the face UGA then that's different. That's why I'm saying if he truly doesn't believe in himself he will go to bama. It's the easier route to the league for him. If he stays her it's high risk that he can flame out. This probably won't be a good year the teams best players are just arriving and their pups.
I really hope these folks were being paid cash and not through stock options for a worthless company. Wonder when we’ll figure out the detailsAll this basketball and football "speculation" or bewilderment makes me wonder if the RUIZ deals have become victims of the "asset-compensation" scheme he seems accused of:
'So Hostile and Unpleasant': Lawsuit Claims to Reveal How John Ruiz Acquired LifeWallet | Daily Business Review
John H. Ruiz allegedly told the LifeWallet founder to consider the deal binding as a “gentleman’s agreement,” because the asset purchase agreement could not yet be signed due to the public offering, according to the lawsuit.www.law.com
It seems he falsely (or some claim fraudulently) gave stock or stock options as asset compensation, indicating it was valued or worth $30-40 a share (today it's under a dollar.) If Pack's $800,000 or monies promised to TVD or others were of similar ilk, well, even if there are other "booster-benefactors" to fall back on, this could be a real mess, and is generally recent news. (he missed another "extended-deadline" to restate his financials or such this weekend, I read somewhere, and also had some sort of debt-relief agreement drawn up with some bank or party)
Who gives a **** about yards per game? Pratt threw for 9.8 Adjusted Yards/attempt and 27Tds (8% rate) to 5INTs (1.5% rate). Bryce Young threw 9.9 AY/A, 32 TDs (8.4%), and 5 INTs (1.3%). Those are great stats. TVD in 2021 had 9.8 AY/A, 25 TDs (7.7%), and 6 INT (1.9%).... So anyone who thinks TVD was good/great in 2021, Pratt was likely better last year.
Bruh, I needed that laugh.
Thing is how do you know they would even consider leaving their situations
You offer them whatever you were paying TVD (or whatever he is now asking for), and assume those schools don't have the NIL money to match...
Murphy and Vandergriff are the most likely candidates IMO
Yea horrible eval. Anyone has a list of the portal QBs
