Most transfer QBs want a path to play right away, so it might be a smaller poll for decent QBs who are willing to sit behind Penix for a year to only compete against Morris and Mackchuck said:
I'm still hopeful they'll grab an upper classman with some game reps for depth. I'm all for this kid getting signed and sealed early, but I don't like him as the 3rd string guy this season.Penace said:The truth is he is needed for fucking depth this season.

There are always some upperclassmen or even grad transfers available who aren't competing for the starting spot at their own school and want a change of scenery.whatshouldicareabout said:

By my count, the Huskies have 89 players on scholarship (not including Mack). I could be off by 1 or 2 but I'm not sure if a 4th QB on scholarship is something they can fit in for 2023. Plus if you are starting your 3rd string QB, whether it's a scholarshiped grad transfer or a walk-on, that probably doesn't bode well for the season.chuck said:.

Meanwhile, Mack can play in 4 games and still preserve his redshirt so he could be an option. -
He's 16. They didn't bring him early for depth. This was their way of locking him in for the next two years minimum. He shouldn't even be at risk of seeing the field this season. That's the point, not that another third stringer is going to save the team.HFNY said:

Not that I was ever attached, but interesting.

Has another vaunted QB Whisperer in DeBoer ever fucking recruited a QB good enough to start anywhere?
-
Who cares?
He got Penix here.
-
Nick Sheridan recruited Penix to Tennessee. Then Penix followed Sheridan to Indiana when the staff at UT was fired. Then Penix came to UW when DeHoer hired Sheridan. DeBoer had the offense Penix loved but Nick Sheridan was his guy.

And what difference does that make? Do Buckeye fans care that Day finally won a natty with a transfer QB? Will Bama fans care if Simpson wins one this year? Should LSU forfeit the Burrow natty? What if Texas wins with Manning - will it not count?
The answer is no
113-16.
Ty recruited Locker though. That worked great

Come on, man. It's okay to think DeBoer did great things here and is a very good head coach but wonder why he hasn't seemed to be able to identify and sign great QBs (small sample size, but still). I wouldn't be surprised if he would have rather had Haener than Penix in 2022 but our academis bullshit finally worked in our favor for one.
I also just feel like the QB guru shit is always questionable. I remember Tedford supposedly was at Cal but he inherited Boller and then only got Rodgers because he was on tape with a JC TE he was recruiting. Then you have Sark, who has never done much with a QB he has actually had to recruit and develop.
