I hate to tell you but Sorsby has lost a fuck ton of P4 football games too. Under .500 as a starter through 31 games, and lost his last 4 games. So overrated, some fan base is going to be very disappointed by him.

Lateef vs. Minchey
- Thread starter ShortSideOption
- Start date
LSU is the other one in play & he might be the top QB if Sorsby is 2 so it won’t surprise me if 5mil is possible
Sorsby is decent but when he goes to Tech, I bet he doesn’t put them over the top.
Well, Leavitt is currently visiting a 5-7 Kentucky team so I would assume so to your bolded?
To your last question part... the reason I brought them up because if you are guaranteeing a starting job (which I don't think we did), you can't grab Minchey. Or we are in football hell if that's how far we've fallen.
Absolutely agree. I actually love what we did at the spot. Gotta find one more but he's not really going to move the needle. Let Lateef and Minchey go at it and the best man win.
I'm not a huge fan of his TBH. If we had him in 2023 we would have went like 12-0. His poor passing vs Nebraska kind of sticks in my memory though. I'm not sure he deserves the high $$$ he's gonna get.
I like Minchey. I think he's the best value for the money. And I think he will be very good for us.
Other than his scrambles, he sure didn't look like anything special against us.
Then again, Maryland's true freshman QB looked pretty solid against us, and they lost their last eight games straight...
Less than dylan
The comparison would be other transfer portal QBs that might be interested in coming here, not Dylan
Putting those two together like they're similar is pretty crazy but agree with your point.
He was the only other FCS or lower guy I could think of lol
My vote came after I watched all of Minchey’s ND spring ball film. Better competition and could be sacked by touch.
He showed mobility I haven’t seen from Lateef. He showed quick field recognition I haven’t seen from Lateef yet. He flashed Raiola level throws I haven’t seen from Lateef yet.
He also made some questionable throws, same as I have seen with Lateef.
Bottom line, the eyeball test tells me he’s a better QB than Lateef RIGHT NOW.
I believe he was told that “unless you come in here in spring and fall and really shit it up, then you’ll be a starter.” Not a guarantee, but the closest thing you can come to one without scaring him off.
But it will be communicated to the team that it’s an open competition, when it’s probably not, (just like last year with Raiola). Everybody knew he was the starter without the coaches coming out and saying it out loud.
If Lateef would’ve come in and literally beat out Dylan by blowing him out of the water, then he would’ve won the starting job, but we all know that wasn’t happening. So is that a guarantee? In common sense terms it is. But not technically.
If Minchey is coming here then he’s absolutely confident he’s gonna be the starter. That may or may not be the same thing as a guarantee.

Here are ND spring game passing stats for reference
Highlights are on YouTube for anyone interested. Angeli was having an ehh year before getting injured at Syracuse fwiw. Wonder if they had Angeli ahead of Minchey before he portaled.

Yeah, I like Sorsby but if it’s true he went for $5m, then I think there are likely better places to spend your money this year.
And to beat the horse a little more, if you get Sorsby and pay him that, he's the only scholarship QB on your roster as Lateef would transfer out bringing in a guaranteed starter for the 2026 and 2027 season.
So you're implying that Lateef would have transferred out right now if Raiola had stayed? Raiola and Minchey have the same remaining eligibility as starters, after all, so it shouldn't really make a difference to Lateef.
