We have made contact with a QB I repeat we’ve made contact with a QB.

These may be a dumb questions, but I’m still not really 100% sure then”order of operations”. Did we reach out? Or didntheybreachboutntonus?

Also, would it be a QB we’d be happy to get? Or is it just like a “hey, we’re out there talking to QBs” reassurance post?

Finally, how confident are you in that we’ll get the first guy we realistically want? (If that makes sense)

does it really matter ?

its kinda like, when interviewing for your first job, the best college to have graduated from is simply the same one as the person interviewing you

a lad from the G5 is likely one unfairly passed over by the P4 outta high school
a lad from P4 is one who was maybe unfairly recruited over for a flashier 4* or 5*

in Bret/Barry I trust on this

I wonder it's ECU's katin Houser? 3,300 yards passing last year. Probably not going to cost you an arm and a leg, but will still get decent money, which would be in Illinois price range.
Has Big Ten experience, knows the conference and expectations.
Sure he would like another shot at the highest level.

If it's someone already announced in the portal, then I'd guess it's either of these four: Old Dominion QB, USF QB, JMU QB, or East Carolina QB.

If it's someone yet to enter, then possibilities are still hefty.
Two of those guys are following their HC. One of them will command a very lofty bag. The last would be underwhelming, IMO - he was not good at MSU.

Hauser was there a couple of years a go. He had a pretty decent year this year. I could think of worst options than him.

This falls 100% in the TIFWIW category.
My friend who is an ardent follower of USC thinks Maiava to Illinois. I was stunned and don't honestly believe it, but what the heck? It's a message board
Great info. Makes you a quasi-insider for this one particular week!

And also very well-couched, so as to avoid criticism when/if it doesn't come to fruition.

was the entire roster of 105 (less the ones already in portal before last weekend ) allowed to travel with the team to Nashville ?

or Some of these guys already know the deal before this morning ?
