QB 2021

[goapps93]

Sadly, nowadays, if good players arent starting right away, they transfer. Not many stick it out and try to win a job. Most think grass is always greener etc

He was the starter. I get the impression he'll be a grad transfer. He was was a fourth-year junior.

[Appstrong]

Sounds like he is a good young man, but it’s a real interesting state of affairs in Blacksburg right now. There is a lot of unhappiness with the Coach and AD from fans, and the team has had a revolving door of nearly 30 transfers in the previous 2 seasons.

He was their starter though and his job wasn't remotely in jeopardy headed into next season. Most VT fans make it sound like he was the last of their problems this year

It worked out for Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray and Joe Burrow, the last three Heisman winners, who were all transfers who wanted to start.

Transferring isn't the red flag it use to be. Especially at VT, which has had a revolving door of players leaving in the last two years.

IMO, it's absolutely worth going after HH, or any good grad transfer QB.

Justin Fields doing OK too.

And for the "kids today" folks, you can add Joe Flacco and Troy Aikman to the list, off the top of my head.

[kornegaylw]

I trust SC & Company to make the right decision at QB next year but damnit I want us to go after Hendon Hooker.

Make sure he fits the culture and pull the trigger. Get that guy in black and gold

And Russel Wilson, Jacoby Brissett, Scott Frost and Gardner Minshew

[BambooRdApp]

App should also consider Jace Ruder from UNC. He has been injured. Hopefully healthy now. Former 4 star QB. Since from Kansas, I assume the Mad Hatter will try to pick him up to go to Lawrence.

[diehardapp18]

So Chase Brice, former Clemson QB turned Duke QB who is transferring again for his last year favorited like five tweets about us yesterday. He favorited the tweet about us winning the game from our official account, favorited a tweet from Zac as well as some others.

Maybe he has a weird affinity for our program/friends with some of the players or maybe he's coming to Boone for his final season? Would make a ton of sense. He wants to start for his last year and we need a quick stopgap while DC learns.

[yosef69]

I strongly believe Brice is coming and will announce it in the next day or so.

I hope not. I would rather have someone for two or three years of we go this route. Just personal preference. I get tired of one and done in bball. If the the current players or new recruits do not care for the competition, I believe we would e better off in long run without them. Any player coming in would have to win the job. Everyone is on equal starting point.. As such, go out and compete. Hopefully we have our star QB on the roster and no need. But seems to be current climate. Charlotte community College got commitment from former Texas A&M 4 star QB.

This just doesn't line up with anything that I'm hearing. We are a program that should be competing for conference championships every year. You can't do that without quality play from the most important position in the sport. Zac is gone, and everything I hear makes it sound like Petersen and Clark have dubbed DC Tabscott the QB of the future. But he won't be ready to start as a true freshman which leaves them in a bind. Bringing in a grad transfer makes perfect sense. Brice keeps us in contention for a conference championship next year and gives Tabscott a great mentor. Let DC redshirt and take over in 22.

We're definitely bringing in a transfer QB. DBG is by all accounts gone and wasn't impressing when he was here, which leaves our options as two true freshmen and a RS freshman who I'm not sure was even on the travel squad this year.

I like Tabscott/Goodman for the future, maybe even '21, but to enter the season with those as your only options as true freshmen would be asking for disaster.

ETA: Side note, Brice was a junior this year, so if it is him, he'd have two years of eligibility remaining.

Big difference IMO between a one and done kid that doesn't care about school and is just waiting for his lottery pick in the draft and a graduate transfer of a kid going to a position of need in exchange for a graduate degree.

It makes perfect sense for the situation we're in. Maybe Tabscott competes and wins the starting job, maybe one of our other QBs does, Maybe Tabscott doesn't work out and we at least have a stop gap for a year to figure things out. From everything we're hearing Tabscott is the future, so it makes perfect sense to have the one year for him (and our new Oline) to get acclimated and make sure we continue the streak against lil bro on the hill in 2022. And maybe get payback on several schools in 2021.

Please NO to Brice. What has he done on the field that makes anyone feel warm and fuzzy about? Duke has had some solid QB play the last half decade but not so much with Brice. He has a nice pedigree but he doesn't pass the eye test.

I also agree if we go the transfer route the grad transfer makes the most sense for us. I personally believe a multi year transfer would hinder us more than help us. It will stunt the growth of our younger QBs and everyone isn't Huesman, we most likely will lose talent. For me it's either Tabscott/Goodman day 1 or a Grad Transfer, anything else scares me.

That Duke team was really bad across the board, and Dave Cutcliffe asks a ton out of his QB's in terms of playmaking and generating offense. Our QB's are always more in a game manager role. I don't know how a former five star prospect with meaningful ACC experience scares you more than throwing a true freshman out to the wolves next year.

A guy is not "the guy" until he is "the guy. A high school QB that probably not faced college defense looks pretty good on tape. DBG apparently was supposed to be " the guy" and we are where we are. If we have two equivalent transfers in opinion of coaching staff, one with one year eligibility and one with 2-3 years take the 2 or 3 year guy every time as that kid is in the system longer. If DC is "the guy", he will beat the transfer out in year 2 in Boone.

54% completion percentage, less than 5yds/attempt 10tds to 15 interceptions. What about that advances our program? If we are going to have a down year at QB I'd rather have it from a young guy with room to grow than from someone who has shown he is not a great QB.

[yosef69]

The kid was sacked 33 times. The Duke team was ass across all positions. He had a bad offseason to transfer during as well.

I don't really care what their recruiting rating was once they've been in college four years, but for the record, Brice was not a 5-star recruit: https://247sports.com/Player/Chase-Bric ... ol-121119/

I share your skepticism, but we may just have to hope he finds Sun Belt defenses easier to solve than ACC ones.
