I was scrolling Twitter and saw Andre Goodman's tweet that he intends to transfer. Then a short time later the tweet was deleted. Is Andre planning to transfer? I was hoping that we'd get to see him perform in a game time situation. I can only assume that he's buried on the depth chart.

I don't think that's it. He has the talent. There are other things happening.

If college football isn’t there yet they soon will be at a point where the top 40 or so schools won’t really have a legit 3rd string QB who works his tail off, waits his turn and maybe becomes a starter his junior year. The mid tier types like App will be fortunate to keep quality backups on the roster. How many QB’s transfer every year now nationally? Even if they aren’t the best they are still generally pretty good players who just don’t want to wait a couple of seasons to maybe start one or even 2 of their final years.

Coach picked a QB from the portal once, and while he won't live in the portal I am not naive enough to believe he wouldn't do it again. So a player can have the old school mentality of hard work, waiting your turn, etc. only for a coach to bring in a transfer.

QB you either start or you don't. They don't get opportunities on special teams, it's not like an offensive lineman who can play either guard or tackle, or a linebacker able to move to defensive end. QBs similar to punters and kicker is a one way to play position.

Without knowing the young man’s thought process, it’s a bit unfair to assume that this is about playing time or being stuck down the depth chart. I’m sure that playing time may have factored in to the equation or the lack of prospects for playing time, but like the general student population, kids transfer in and out of schools for many reasons.

Bad placement with a slight assumption with my post. I do feel it's a thought many players go through though. Unless a school can show that staying with them will benefit draft chances, I think most QBs are going to want to go somewhere that they can play sooner rather than later. Not sure if it's what Andre was thinking but I think others think that when they decide to transfer.

Truth be told, I could be wrong as well. I just know that in Goodman’s situation, there are/were some obstacles that made the ascent to QB1 more difficult. That’s not to say that he couldn’t overcome them. It is my understanding that he would be given an opportunity at QB from Day 1. Whether that materialized to his, or the coaches satisfaction will probably go untold. Or, he could just be frustrated with his rehab from the ACL tear in high school and is looking for a fresh start. Or he just didn’t like the vibe in Boone. No one outside of the circle really knows.

Wishing him good fortune and success wherever this takes him. Never got to see him play but always thought he would be our starter at some point.

Ah Shucks....He had been touted as AE 2.0. I was looking forward to seeing what he had.

I should have ended my prior post by adding that I really don’t care if any kid transfers to another school. I’ve long since resigned myself into believing that loyalty and fulfilling a commitment is a thing of the past. If this young man believes that he has the opportunity to play more somewhere else then go ahead and leave. There will always be someone to take his place.

Sorry he is leaving. Was really hoping he would see the field some next season. Wish him all the best.

I see the loyalty and commitment aspect a little differently. While he was here and on scholarship, I imagine he did everything possible to be a good teammate and student for the year of free education that he received. Just because he isn’t going to be here 4 or 5 years doesn’t mean he wasn’t loyal. I’ve been in my line of work for almost 35 years now and have always been loyal and committed to those who I was in employ of. Some of these jobs lasted less than 2 years and 1 lasted 20. Regardless, I was and still am, 100% committed to those signing my checks.

He’s probably transferring because the coaches told him he wouldn’t be getting much playing time. *IF* that is the case why are we fretting over a guy who wouldn’t even play for us? Wish him the best of luck. Hope he finds the right opportunity so long a it’s not in the Sun Belt.

I wish him all the best, hope he is successful wherever he goes. Having said that, this opens up a scholarship. Any addition expected for today, National Signing Day?

pretty sure not. I think we are done with HS signings. We will hit the portal for a few more im sure, but very seriously doubt we sign a HS kid today

Depth Chart for QB has gotten a lot clearer. DC Tabscott #2, Ryan Burger #3. That Tabscott is still here and 2 other QBs leaving, sounds like he is the clear #2 and heir to take Brice’s place (unless we get a FA).

I wouldn’t put money on that order. Simply because he has been here longer, doesn’t mean that he is next in line. There will be a competition for QB2.

I’d put money on it. Maybe not a lot of money, but $25 sounds good.

Sounds like somebody wants to lose $25.
