Possible transfer situations

[Appmountaineers19]

Cincy does haveSkyline chili and Graeters ice cream…”they’ve got that going for them” Xavier has the nice campus in the city.

You can get that sh!t at Loopy’s

Lupie’s… a bit far from Boone.

Lupie’s! Knew it wasn’t right when I typed it out. Maybe we can open a satellite location in Boone!

There used to be one in Huntersville that is gone now but I remember the cleveland style there.

Given all the other G5 options, why would a solid portal kid come to App at this point? It's a serious question.

I mean why wouldn't they? Yes APP was 6-6 ( one "bad" year ) but they garnished ALOT of national attention despite the record. GD was here/most players would love to play in that atmosphere - If you are a defensive player following just a little bit this year of the struggles on defense you are salivating for a chance to prove yourself IMO. Obviously the notion that the locker room was "lost" was WAY overblown (just look at our TP). The mountain is still a top 7 G5 place to play.

But play would you rather, and be honest. App or Cincinnati? App or Houston? App or CFU? App or SMU? App or S. Florida? And I hate it, but App or JMU?

Well, me personally, I’m a mountain guy. And I don’t know what CFU is, but FU to those other locations. But I understand your point (except for JMU). However some guys who played where the town revolved around their high school team would feel more at home in Boone.

There's also a system fit, coaching relationships and seeing who they get to play with, and some players want to be closer to home/family. Why did Chase Brice, Kaedin Robinson, Corey Sutton and others choose to transfer to App? Some players also want to get out of the big city and all that comes with it. And, just because you go into the portal, doesn't mean you get an offer anywhere you want to play. There's still only 85 scholarships at each program.

One .500 season and we're not an attractive place to play? Talk about low self-esteem.....

What system? Running it up the middle on third and fourth down?

I guess we will just see if anyone wants to play here at App in the next couple of weeks. We will continue this conversation at a later date. I could be wrong...but in this case I doubt it. There will be quite a few transfers that want to play at a Top G5 school. (I'm talking about APP if you weren't sure)

Hearing K-Robb lobbying for UCF QB. If true and if Burger is our guy, K-Robb might be eliminating himself as a top target.

No thanks. Got beat out by John Rhys Plumlee, an SEC outfielder transferred to ucf to play qb.

You have quite obviously never seen John Rhys Plumlee play. Dude is a freak athlete. He may not be the best QB, but he can do it all. That's why he played multiple positions in baseball AND football for an SEC school. I'm not surprised he gets more playing time than the guy who is transferring.

Fastest qb I've seen and have been watching him since he committed to UGA his sophomore year of high school. But, he's a draft pick for baseball and just a freak athlete at QB. We don't need his backup qb, there will be better options. But, it is good to know that some of our current players are lobbying for him and are on the recruiting trail. Maybe we can get Plumlee now that would be fun!

[AppSt94]

I’m good with Burger and McBride.

Just noticed Coastal has a QB in portal now.

And GSU has 13, including 12 from yesterday.

[appst89]

I’m good with Burger and McBride.

From what little I saw, I am as well. I think we have a lot more pressing needs than at QB.

I would be concerned with OL on O and that's about it (except depth). Have to keep the QB without pressure and be able to run. I say that thinking the WRs can develop more to get open more often.

[AppSt91]

With the OL issues this season, I’m surprised the OL coaching position was not subject to turn over this off season.

I may be in the minority but OL isn’t a “huge” issue for me. As I have heard it explained to me from different levels of coaching, our Zone scheme is pretty difficult to beat when run correctly. From the second half of JMU to Coastal, it looked as if something broke. Was it Hodges injury, was it Everett playing before he was ready, or poor performance from others? Hard to say exactly, but something broke. We looked 1000% better starting at Marshall moving forward. Losing Smith as a depth piece hurts. The lightbulb in Lindsay’s head is flickering so hopefully it turns on and he performs well.

It does seem odd doesn’t it? CSC may have felt the problem was the S&C.

[sttom]

We have Burger, McBride and McHugh. We don’t need a transfer at QB.

Don't forget about DC Tabscott .8541 3 Star. The highest rate App has every recruited for QB, not counting Chase Brice who transferred here.

Well we have 20ish open spots to fill. Majority of those should be secondary, DLine, WR. The rest can be LB, OL and maybe QB. So, every position pretty much outside of RB.

I believe David Baldwin Griffin was slightly higher but not by much.

[ASUFan4863]

CMU QB entered the portal as a Grad Transfer. Could be a name to monitor considering he played under Barbay. Having multiple experienced backup QBs could be beneficial.

[appgrad2010]

And wild that DBG is not on roster anywhere in America. Hope the young man is doing ok!

I didn’t forget him.

What is the deal with Tabscott? He's been here what 2-3 years now and has yet to crack the depth chart, or am I missing something?

The other thing we seemed to struggle with this season was holding blocks downfield. Whether it was receivers on the edge or lineman getting downfield, but not putting a body on someone, it seemed to affect our ability to break big runs. So many potentially big plays were stopped with a shoestring tackle at the second level.
