I never said there isn’t a spot for the guy on the roster. I disagreed that we would be “salivating” over this guy if he would come here.
There isn’t anything impressive about his performance so far. Didn’t throw a pass at USC.Its obvious he wasn’t in their plans. He left at BYU without playing, was an ok JC QB and is a couple years older than most juniors. That doesn’t mean he couldn’t be a “hidden gem”.
I stated that without reviewing film, there was nothing else to go by and I’m not pretending to evaluate this guy beyond a Quick Look at what’s easily available. Other than the fact that he was on the roster at USC, what would get us excited about him?-

I assume you and a couple other experts have far more experience than I with regards to recruiting college players and how evaluations and recruiting have evolved over the years.
I responded to a post regarding a qb in the portal from USC that another was very impressed with and wished we could get a guy like that. When I went on the USC site, the guy hadn’t played there. He had been at a couple of schools before USC including a JC. I could not see anything that would warrant USC interest. I checked his record (stats) and it appeared he had been ok at the JC level. I pointed out we had a couple of guys whose HS careers appeared to have been more impressive based on their stats. I didn't, and still don't, see anything that would get us excited about him even though he was on the team at USC. I also admitted that he could be a hidden gem. I didn’t comment on USC’s ability to recruit QB’s but I would bet a lot that he wasn’t put on the team with the idea he would be in the mix for playing time.
I wasn’t joking, I made an observation. The USC connection was impressive until I found nothing going back including his HS years that would indicate he would be an impact player for us much less USC. Without film or a conversation with USC staff, that’s kind of an initial evaluationSo those who think he could be a difference maker (maybe he could), tell me where I’m wrong.

and most of us on here thought that good ole boy bubba would be able to walk into a kids house in bowbells and get little 6'7" ricky bobby to come to the flagship u and be an all american left tackle....he couldn't even get walters from RRHS
I’m sure glad you brought that up.

Nick Saban made a statement on GameDay today regarding the Ohio State fans calling for Day’s head, that seems appropriate for this thread.

If I can also throw in the "but fall camp" and "but completion percentage" crowds to the conversation as well.
If some of you are getting your Christmas thongs in a bunch my apologies for your inability to see the bigger picture.
Sure you can. Just like I can throw in the “bigger picture” learned from the stands, the TV and a fantasy FB league crowd so you don’t feel left out.

Cole Pennington, son of former NFLer Chad, is leaving Marshall for USD.
Cue the "his HS stats weren't as good as X,Y and Z" and "he hasn't done anything yet in college" crowd.
Meanwhile at UND.......
What the hell is the “hasn’t done anything yet in college crowed”?
My response was to a post “We would be salivating “ if we got a transfer like this. This guys has bounced around to different schools and was on USC’s team. I don’t know if he was “recruited” to USC nor whether or not he was on scholarship. It’s clear he wasn’t in their plans. Show me game film and I might change my mind.
I said he might be a “hidden gem”. I’m not part a crowd nor do I think everyone FBS “drop down” can play at the FCS level.

Not sure I would get too excited. He may be a hidden gem but hasn’t done anything special at the college level. His HS stats weren’t as good as either Kaminski or Feeney.

They just announced that Zmolek will miss the remainder of the season. Not a huge surprise. Hopefully he can recover in time for next season.
Do we know what his injury is?

I really liked Colton Brunell's film out of high school. Want to see him get some touches. Also, really like the way Romfo runs. Then the kid out of Maple Grove runs a lot like Otis did. I think RB room is plenty fine.
You are probably correct

Who did you have him jumping in the RB room next fall?
My mistake. Ziebarth and Seidel are both back. I still like Hunt and thought he would be in the mix.

Just now, SIOUX29 said:
Isn't Ziebarth back next year?
Yes, my mistake. He and Seidel will be 1-2. Hunt would be in the mix but not critical loss however, I liked how hard he runs.

I am hearing the new coach is not happy with much of anything on this roster. We have been conditioned to think we had a good enough roster. Not the case
I am not doubting your statement, but wonder who you are hearing that from. It was clear we have roster needs, but anyone who watched film would be looking forward to a backfield with Seidel Ziebarth and Hunt next fall. Losing Hunt is a big loss. The oline needs to keep improving but should be better next fall. We have guys on this roster who can play but need to get stronger, continue to develop and be put in a position to succeed.
I guess we will see over the next few weeks if the new staff can maintain the enthusiasm and momentum created with the new hire. Still waiting for the new staff to be announced and help upgrade the roster.

This one is a big loss. He averaged over 13 yds per carry, always ran hard, broke tackles. RB was probably our deepest position but he deserved more touches. I thought he would be one of our top 2 RB’s next fall. I see it as a red flag.

I mean I know goalies are hit or miss but it just seems like the past 4-5 years we have had a hard time getting that guy.
Spot on and I believe our biggest challenge . When was the last time we had a goalie that can carry the team for 8-10 games straight, including steal some games when we are outplayed?
I thought Slukynsky was that guy but we missed on him somehow. There are others but it seems we’ve had guys who can do that at times, but not consistently . -

I doubt rocket scientists even think about things like that. Yet, you came up with the analogy. Just wondering. 🤔

They need to make a lot more the 50% of their free throws. If they can’t do that they can’t shoot well enough to win games.

Need to find out what he does for assistants. I don’t know what to prefer but seems like he needs to turn over at least half so players know that things have changed not same old same old
I think the players have already received a clear message that things have changed. Eric needs to bring together a staff that can recruit the right players, then develop them to reach their full potential. The fact that the team struggled to get to the next level doesn’t mean none of them can coach. Schmidt can figure that out better than we can. Regardless of how many (if any) of the old staff is retained, the HC needs to get them to buy in to how he wants things done, and then make sure the staff and players accomplish the stated goals.

I believe that one of the things that came across loud and clear was an answer to a post last fall regarding goals and expectations.
President Armacost, Bill Chaves and Eric Schmidt have set goals of, and expect to win, conference and national championships.-

sounds like a long turnaround if we are going inches
I believe he plans to make sure they pay attention to details, take no shortcuts, assume nothing, do things the right way from the beginning to the national championship. Message is to his players rather than fans or public.
I predict his teams will be fundamentally sound, play to the whistle, and have each others backs. How fast they get to the championship is dependent on improving talent through our speed and conditioning in addition to an upgrade in talent through recruiting.
Should be fun to watch his teams evolve.-

Need to attack the transfer portal with an intensity unknown to mankind! This ain’t the 1970s anymore … transfers win games.
It has nothing to do with the 1970’s but you are absolutely correct. The fastest way to correct our deficiencies is the portal. Not a lot of freshman are ready to play. Until we get the transfers on campus the staff and players need to go to work everyday as if these are our guys and we are going to put together a team that will win the conference title next fall, get into the playoffs and see if we can win the whole enchilada.
I hope we sign 10-15 portal guys that are either starters or in the 2 deep rotation.-

The kid appears to be a very athletic QB with starting experience at SDSU. The day of the “pocket” qb is fading (there are certainly exceptions) but the dual threat guys force defenses to alter their game plan.
I would be happy with another guy like Quincy on the roster just not at QB.
