Decked Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Idk if that’s just coach speak but that makes me feel a little better. Be nice to save two more scholarships in during or post spring & not waste one on a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment

Toe Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Did they ever actually get to see Haarburg work out in person? Quote Link to comment

Personally I don't know much about Haarburg besides his reels but he looks the part. Wondering if he can put that and what lies between the ears together at the next level. He's intriguing mostly as he looks like he throws a pretty good ball but looks like he runs well also. Quote Link to comment

Higher hopes than when you recruited him...Then I realize that he didn't recruit dudes who couldn't play and that he has probably impressed going against FBS guys vs HS....Good to have scholarship back ups....

Toe Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'd still temper your expectations for Smothers, at least for the near future. Remember that it's the top two guys that get most of the snaps in practice, and Smothers wasn't one of them this past year. Luke saw a decent amount of game time in his true freshman year, but the same can't be said for Smothers. Maybe he's one of those guys who's ready to rock on day one, but I don't think that should ever be the expectation a freshman. 1 Quote Link to comment

Also, a heck of a lot of that playing time as a freshman wasn't at QB. They aren't going to put Smothers out there as a WR or RB. Last year, Frost had what he thought was two options at QB that were ready to be #1 and #2. When Luke was a Freshman, Frost had basically just a good #1. Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I wonder if Scott have gone after M. Milton if he knew Luke was gone. Man that would’ve been nice. Move Luke to WR (or he just transfers anyway) & Milton at QB. Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Opened this halfway expected to see that he was transferring. 4 Quote Link to comment

As long as he can solidify himself as the #2 or better, he will probably be here through at least 2022. If not, like most other QBs in his situation, he will explore his options. 1 Quote Link to comment
