Happily wrong on this one if it is accurate and he's the guy. Heard a few other names floated, but like I said, new HC has a good idea on how he would be for a fit.

We did not have any interest in the SDSU kid that went to Wisconsin.

The other SDSU kid however...

From Tupou’ata-Johnson's bio: Chose the Aztecs over offers from Arizona State, BYU, Florida State, Kansas, Oregon, Pittsburgh, Nevada, and San Jose State.

This kid can be a legitimate game changer for UND. He looks nothing like our QBs past and present.  I hope the flow and reports are true in that he will soon be a F'n Hawk.

100%! Him and a couple new WRs would be dangerous (got one, now to get another)!

SDSUred QB1 (O'Neil) is going to Wisconsin. 

Why is this JT'-J fellow in the portal when QB1 is open? 

[SiouxFan100]

How do I say this? I find no need to rub it into players who might be replaced by better transfers in. Something like that. Not saying anyone has.

These things can snowball in a good way.  Land the QB, WR target sees that and joins the party.  Then hopefully some DT's with nicknames like Tank and Big Snacks hop on board.

Possible fallout from Jayden Denegal from UMichigan transferring in with 2 years of eligibility left?
Not sure what their depth chart looks like with all the movement going on.

Like seeing upgrades in competition at key spots! One more WR and a few on the D-side to keep it going!

The Jensen kid didn’t have good high school stats. USC doesn’t know how to recruit the QB position 

  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 evaluation  

So those who think he could be a difference maker (maybe he could), tell me where I’m wrong.

I found AJ Duffy from FSU going to SDSUred. 

How does anyone track movement in the portal era?

Who’s better at evaluating QBs: Lincoln Riley or IraMurphy? Some are saying it’s a toss up 

[Oxbow6]

If you as a FCS program get a QB who is interested in dropping down and joining your program from a P5 conference you basically say....when can you get here. Those kids are 100% worth the roster spot to see if they can stick or not. No need to over think this. If he routinely throws a 25 yard out 18 yards you have your answer pretty quick.

Maybe some people should watch the actual film (even if it is practice tape) instead of being box score warriors

[iramurphy]

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?
