    That in 2024 we will be relying on a 17 year old RS freshman that won't have played a meaningful down in a year and half? This is stupid. He should play his highschool season and get on campus this time next year

    How many 17 year olds have ever contributed in a college game? I'm not really a fan of this move to reclassify, but it seems like the coaches gave up on trying to get another qb in.

    It doesn't mean that. He will be 17, Morris will be gone, but it's dumb to assume that the 2024 commit will be the only other QB in the roster. They will have aother QB lined up to compete.

    If he is the guy in 2024 it will have been helped by getting this full year in the program, not hurt. The coaching, training, film study, time to master the offense, and time to get comfortable he's gaining beat the shit out of HS ball.
    I agree he probably won't be the guy in 24 which would actually be even dumber because now he has less eligibility if he's good as an upperclassmen

    We won’t be. Morris will more than likely be the starter in 24. Mack will maybe start in 25 as an 19 year old RS Sophmore, with two years in the system. Unless he’s really fucking good faster than that.

    He’s 16 now. When’s his bday? There’s about 18-19 months before the start of the ‘24 season.

    I’m not as concerned about his age as I am about him not playing. There’s obviously a huge difference going from high school to P5 but it’s still another year of development in games vs a year of development in practice.

    At some point you need your high school quarterback to play in high school games.

    Its a plus because it allows you to stagger he and EJ.

    I do not understand how giving him an entire extra year of coaching by this staff (before we actually need him) can be a bad thing.

    But then, again, I don't understand the metric system.
    He's played one season of high school football and is now going to college. Seems insane to me.

    JT Daniels basically was wrecked due to playing big boy football at 17.

    He started immediately.

    a year being Penix's shadow, a year being coached by Deboer and Grub, a year in our S&C program, a year running the scout team against our #1 defense. My only concern is will a 16 year old kid get homesick?
