Actually, I think he meant what he said . . .Um, did you mean step back from the ledge?
yea, Im afraid we arent quite yet in the realm of destinations for some of these "top of the heap" qb transfers dueNotre Dame
Think this has been said previously but I'm guessing we wouldn't have gotten either to campus a year ago.Thanks for the insight. Shows what caliber of a QB they are looking for.
yea, Bielema and Lunney are both fairly well respected in national football circles. And the OC (Lunney) is the guy the QB really answers to all week/yearThink this has been said previously but I'm guessing we wouldn't have gotten either to campus a year ago.
The fact that we were seriously in the running for both (and hopefully land one) shows the dramatic shift from where this program was not long ago
The best QB we've had in a decade. Hmmm....not so sure about that....a good QB maybe, didn't see alot of interest from the Blue Bloods.If this makes people feel better then great but let's not kid ourselves, Card would have been a great get and possibly the best QB we've had in a decade. That being said, all hope is not lost without him.
Below from the article I posted is promising.QB1 for Illinois is still the biggest question
Who will take over the reins from Tommy DeVito?www.thechampaignroom.com
The blue bloods don’t normally need a transfer QB.The best QB we've had in a decade. Hmmm....not so sure about that....a good QB maybe, didn't see alot of interest from the Blue Bloods.
Altmyer can announce whenever he wants after their game. BB may ask him to keep it quiet though for our team's sakeBelow from the article I posted is promising.
“Altmyer is staying with Ole Miss until after the TaxAct Texas Bowl, so I wouldn’t expect a decision from Altmyer until after the game. The early reports, eventual silence from both camps, and Card committing to Purdue could mean something is hopefully brewing.”
Texas Bowl is tomorrow so there should be a decision soon, maybe this week or next week.
The waiting is the hardest partAltmyer can announce whenever he wants after their game. BB may ask him to keep it quiet though for our team's sake
But I dont think we will hear anything from BB about it, or about any new coaches until after our bowl game
The reason it’s different with Bielema is he is able to both recruit and coach. Turner could coach but didn’t want to recruit. Zook could recruit but was not a great in game coach. I think Bielema is very good at both.I'm kind of 50/50 on this. I was pretty optimistic after 1999 that RT would be successful here long-term; I was obviously wrong there
Having seen Zook's coaching multiple times/year while he was at Florida, it was obvious whatever success he had at UI would be fool's gold. The guy could recruit like nobody I've ever seen, but he was just godawful at every other aspect of the job. You can recruit all the 4* and 5*'s you want, but they do you no good if the X's and O's aren't there.
as a walk on yeaDidn’t Lunney favor this guy?

Um, did you mean step back from the ledge?
Is Michaux playing baseball for us? Or is that over?as a walk on yea
to start for us next season ? no
After having a 5+ ERA in junior college, I say yesIs Michaux playing baseball for us? Or is that over?

Having Card and Altmyer on campus for visits should tell you something about their intentions on bringing in a transfer QB.
As in baseball being over for nowAfter having a 5+ ERA in junior college, I say yes
It's not the intention that comes with concerns, it's the actual landing of that top-notch transfer QB (and we seem like we're down to 1 option, who is likely a few notches below the best options)
We'd have all gone insane if we'd landed an Altmyer-type as a HS recruit, and justifiably so.Being upset about landing Altmyer is nuts. He’s not that much below the better options. He just hasn’t had that much playing time in his collegiate career so far so it’s hard to evaluate his stats. Even Card has had limited playing time. However Altmyer has 3 years left of eligibility and has played in the Sugar Bowl. With the skill sets and the talent he has, he just needs to be in the right system with the right coaches that will maximize his talents.
Just saw that wake forest qb in the portal. The kid can sling it.
YesHas that been determined? He has set all types of records at WF.
