Interesting that Bielema is closing spring practice to the media for the second year in a row. I'm not aware of any other program that's done this in the past, though I suppose it is becoming more commonplace. I don't expect to see any real news on 247 or anywhere until he announces the starting QB in the fall.

Matt obviously had physical limitations, but it's not exactly like we have a deep QB room to begin with. Hope Art/Tommy don't get hurt...

Tommy DeVito
Art Sitkowski
Jake Huber (walk on)
Samari Collier
Ryan Johnson
Donovan Leary

I think we have enough QBs. It remains to be seen if they're good enough to win with.

Yeah, quantity is obviously there. I was speaking more to the quality. Should be interesting.

Yeah, but was Robinson in the quality column? He fell behind Collier in the depth chart last year. There would have to be a lot of injuries before he saw the field.
My original thought was he does not fit the staff prototype, but would stay and be on the roster. Tough to transfer and find a spot these days. Good luck.
Staff was probably honest with him. Also, I guess there are ways around even he wanted to stay…like snaps are limited, so he doesn’t get any practice reps. I think bielema mentioned something like Snaps limited. Speculation here.
But, generally speaking, players probably don’t want to commit all this time for limited/ no reps

Interesting, with Ryan above Art. Do you think that order switches if/when Art shows he's recovered from the surgeries? Or is Ryan actually showing some promise...
WRT Johnson, how much of his current position (on the depth chart) is due to Art being out versus practice performance? Would love to know if Lunney thinks that he has a legit chance to see the field.
Think it’s just due to Arts injury right now. Ryan will probably be 3rd string once the season actually starts.

BB basically said depth charts right now weren't worth the paper they're printed on. More just for media. If practice was open I bet we'd see some differences across the board.
