Transfer QB

[Toe]

Well we're not taking any more walk-ons, just the couple that are grandfathered, so I guess that would be either Longval or Soukup.

Correction: apparently Longval participated in Senior Day activities, so he's probably not coming back either. That leaves just Lateef and Soukup in the QBs room. We'd need to take four portal guys to get back to our previous number. Sooo yeah, probably good that we're casting a wide net, here.

Also, we might take a walk-on level QB (like Longval and Soukup) in this class that we don't know about yet. That would basically fill Longval's spot as a practice QB.

Walk-ons are not a thing anymore. You've got 105 players, and you've got scholarships for all of them. There's no reason to take guys that low in ability.

Probably look at someone like that to be next year’s starter. Wouldn’t want to take anyone with experience and success. Just need guys who are cheap.

Sounds like a good spot for Jett.

Jk. But it might be worth it to bring in a guy like Mikey Gow as a 3rd QB. At worst, you have a practice squad QB that wont chase anyone away. At best, maybe he over achieves for his love of Nebraska and competes in a year or two.

I can’t tell if this is serious or not.

The jk should be a solid giveaway

I bet we bring in a JUCO QB to play the Gramstad role.

We will obviously sign someone to compete with TJ to start but we will also bring in the JUCO guy just to hold the clipboard and give the media 2 articles to write. One about his unlikely path to Nebraska where he's just appreciative of the opportunity and another one later on about how he'll graduate and is now looking to get into coaching.

The QB room numbers will force this to happen.

I'll fill that role for them if they just give me access to the training table and let me eat all I want.

Sigh.
I realize this. Almost wrote in my post "not that true walk-ons exsist any more" but figured it was unnesseary explanation. I guess I was wrong. That's why I wrote "walk-on level QB (like Longval and Soukup)."

And there is a reason to take guys like that, to operate units in practice. We never needed Longval or Soukup to play in a game, but if we're going to get reps for depth players in practice or if we're going to fill scout teams, we need QBs to run those units. That's where "walk-on level" (remember, walk-ons are not a thing anymore) players come in. In your own post I was replying to, you say we need to take four QB's in the portal to get back to previous levels. Well, the previous levels included practice QB's like Longval and Soukup. No need to go to the portal for those guys if we can find them locally for relatively no money.

At this point I just want to get to the opening of the portal so the mayhem can begin and we can watch all the crash outs.
