Hambone Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 So the assumption is Heidlbaugh is not QB material?? I think the coaching staff is trying to decide this, too. Maybe give the kid a chance to throw some balls around on scout team and redshirt, what the hell. We have Joe and Ryan (Jr. season) and Keaton (Soph. season) heading into this year. Joe is recovering from his surgery and Ryan is recovering from hurt feelings when Keaton started the last 3 games last year. So, the situation isn't very comforting depending on Joe being healthy and Ryan sticking around if Keaton emerges from Spring ball the starter, and can Keaton physically handle the hits over an entire season....... I see a lot of questions, would be good to bring in another QB based on uncertainty and lack of depth. My understanding is that the coaches are comfortable with Heidlbaugh at QB, so they are waiting to see how the other positions shake out a bit more before making a move on a QB.

Hambone Posted January 20, 2015 Author Share Posted January 20, 2015 Roberts committed to Nebraska-Kearney last week. Had offers from Southwest Minnesota State, CSU-Pueblo, Washburn and Kearney. UND was very interested but never pulled the trigger! Doesn't necessarily mean that UND can't offer him in the next week or so and entice him to commit.

No reason the coaches shouldn't give Heidlbaugh a chance to play QB during his redshirt season. Development and teaching is key to this team having a bright future anyways. If it doesn't work then move him to TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen Andersons tape and can say that I think he could be special. That's why I want him to get offered so bad. Until I see film of Heidlbaugh I'll continue to have no opinion.

Hawkster Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I agree regarding bringing in another QB in this class for depth this season. We need it because you never know when a season ending injury will happen to a starter, and whether or not the guys waiting their turn have enough resolve to stick it out. I really think we need to go after a top notch QB for this class. Last year showed us that weakness and we need to step it up in this area and should have been a top priority for the staff.

Matt Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Well said. If Studsrud would have got hurt we would have been royally screwed. I would describe what actually happened-injuries to #1 and #2 then being forced to pull a shirt that late in the season-as being "royally screwed".

That's exactly right. Furthermore, we need to be going after the QB's that we know can make a difference. I think too many years we've been settling for what ever will sign on the line and that's no way to make the playoffs. I'm leery about bringing up NDSU, but it's their QB's that have gotten them places over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my initial feeling but hind sight is 20/20 and luckily we made out okay toward the end with him. Lucky is the keyword here and going forward we can't depend on luck.

I'm leery about bringing up NDSU, but it's their QB's that have gotten them places over the years. Mollberg was very heavily recruited. Ndsu's QBs have been very clutch/solid, but that team lives and dies on the ground and on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is missing is the eligibility- Georges - 3 years eligibility Neverman - 2 years eligibility Johnson - 2 years eligibility Knick - must burn a year and then have 3 years eligibility Galkoski - has a redshirt to take and then 2 years eligibility Anyone know different??

Ndsu's QBs have been very clutch/solid, but that team lives and dies on the ground and on defense. I would argue that what is keeping Lennon's SIU team down is the absence of solid QB play. I doubt NDSU wins even one FCS title if they had the pedestrian QB's that Lennon has been stuck with since he got there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be.....it said he redshirted in 2012, played in 1013, and last year wasn't in a program, though. I am not sure- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bang Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'm assuming the two D-2 guys are PWO's and Neverman is getting some scholarship money or is Galkoski and Neverman getting a scholarship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-1 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Georges was in the Arizona program this past fall, but he quit in October. So he used a year up but never got any game action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
