Like the LB and REALLY hope we don't get that QB. We are in the running for too many talented players right now to be taking a guy who will come in 4th on the depth chart. Also when is the last time a situation worked out where an older guy came back to football and was good.. Brandon Weeden was decent in college, but other than that it just doesn't happen much.

Simmons has a boner for Hilinski’s height. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him #1

Decent?
He threw for nearly 10k yards
I like all the young talent we have coming in too but given the chance to snag an old vet that could sit in the pocket and sling it around without getting rattled I'm all in. Competition breeds excellence so bring him on and lets see who takes over after Stidham.
P.S. how tall is this guy?

His MiLB profile lists him as 6'3 215 (weights usually aren't updated so that part may be up in the air).

Malik has shown exactly what you would want to see out of him up to this point.. He is miles ahead of JF3, Gatewood looked like you would expect a freshman to look and just going by high school film Gatewood is better then cord, Bo today is better than Cord Sandberg and he's still going into his senior year.(going off of his high school film). Cord also hasn't been training for football non stop like all of those guys and has been away from the game for years.. to think he wouldn't be behind all of them is optimistic to say the least imo.
Kind of related to this, but with Oladele out does that open up another spot for this year? In which case I would shut up about taking Sandberg since it wouldn't stop us from getting anyone else.

What’s the story w Oladele? If it’s grades, it would seem he would have to go Jr college route. Announcement seemed to imply there has been a mutual parting of the esys.

Feels similar to Carlito Gonzales if I'm remembering correctly.

From reading the tea leaves academic redshirt similar to D Purifoy, and we chose to move on... could very well be clearinghouse stuff or other things there that we didn't want to mess with as well.

I don’t see why we would pass. QB is too important not to scoop up whatever talent we can get our hands on

quote:FWIW Florida doesn't have room to add him. We supposedly do. Not sure about LSU.
I would say Fla and LSU need a QB way more than we do and they are still only offering him as a walk on.. I have to assume he worked out in some form since he's been away from the game and if they still didn't see enough to offer him a full ride that makes me wonder how much they see in him.

That would be Melvin Ray

quote:Under new rules walk ons count against a yearly 25 limit if they play before they have been at the school at least 2 years.
Not sure about his scholarship status. That’s a good question for Ellitor. There may also be something in play where, even though we don’t offer a scholarship, it’s counted toward our 85. Again, probably need E’s help on that.
On Cord us offering a full ride means we haven't hit our 25 initial counter limit for 2018 yet which is possible because Carlito isn't counted for 2017 & a 2018 kid counted back to the open spot. Carlito signed w/ AU before new rules went into effect on Aug. 1, 2017 essentially making signees & enrollies both counting against the yearly 25 initial counter limit moving forward.
