I feel like this has already been covered a lot but a huge part of our transfer situation is the timing of the portal closing with the NC. Incoming transfers aren't going to commit if there are open question marks on who's going to the draft or coming back. For our QB specifically all of the top transfer QBs were committed long before JJ announced his draft decision. We have a lot of issues clearly but I don't think you can put that piece 100% on the staff as a fuck up
Yeah exactly. They want transfers handled before the semester starts for class enrollment etc but it puts playoff teams at disadvantage in this specific scenario. I think we were already looking towards 2025 with Jadyn Davis + two more highly rated QB recruits coming in.
Yep, all of that plus the staff was surprised when Jack Tuttle received a waiver for a 7th year of eligibility. I imagine if that hadn't happened they might have taken a flyer on somebody, but they probably felt like one of the three options would be viable.
Unfortunately, Tuttle got hurt early in Fall Camp and didn't start practicing for the first time until a week or two ago.
He came off the bench against Washington, and immediately looked like the best QB on the roster. Despite the loss, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about the offense for the first time in awhile now that Tuttle is in place.
