I've heard a new name mentioned. Luke Altmyer,former 4 star from Starkville that played for OM before transferring to Illinois. Said he was looking at options to get back into the SEC. I know absolutely nothing about him as a qb

He actually played against us when he was at Ole Miss when Matt Corral got injured.

This dude thinks that 5'7 Thomas Castellanos coming off a hot benching at BC is getting $1M + NIL offers .

I choose to believe common sense. Who the hell is paying Castellanos $1 million? And WHY? He has no leverage. He was bad, got benched, and his former HC is openly roasting him in the press. Castellanos is also a suboptimal prototype at QB: he is only valuable to teams that want to do a lot of running with the QB, and even then he is tiny (and therefore an injury risk).

If you think that Castellanos is getting $1M+, what do you think that guys like the WSU QB (Mateer) are going to get? $5M? Surely you understand that there are quite a few QB's who are better than Castellanos, right?

By the way, BC finished their season 3-1 with the backup QB. Their only loss in that stretch was to SMU. The backup was 4-1 in the 5 games that he played in. Castellanos was 3-4. That doesn't really paint a rosy picture for anyone looking at Castellanos.

You are trying to convince us that someone is going to pay Ferrari prices for a beat-up Ford Mustang LOL. You are clearly way too involved in this player, so no, I choose not to believe your clearly biased wishful thinking.

Oh well that settles it! Because the player's uncle/cousin/best friend definitely wouldn't ever lie or make shite up .

What you are pitching is a story as old as time itself. "The New York Yankees are scouting my cousin Timmy Johnson! They're promising to take him in the 1st round, and they're giving him $10 million to sign!". Meanwhile Timmy Johnson is 5'7 and isn't even one of the 3 best players on the team.

Use some common sense. There are probably less than ~two dozen or so teams that have $1 million to throw at ONE player (if that). Of those teams, how many need a QB? And now go even further: of the ones who need a QB, why the hell would they give $1 million to the 5'8 QB that got benched at Boston College....when they can take that money and get someone clearly better?

You realize that $1 million is allegedly what Miami paid for Cam Ward, right?

It's time to put nuts on the table and drop 5 on a starter somewhere

Look you are obviously correct your opinion is better than someone else's knowledge. Ohh BTW SI has a recent article stating he was one of 5 QBs set to get paid big in NIL. But the great Metafour has spoken.

I like this dude

Y’all need to read up on him before you just see this season stats & start hating.

Dude is a legit run/pass threat, numbers were off this season/benched job bc he’s playing in the wrong system. NOT the ideal QB for Bill O’Briens system. Dude would thrive in our RPO system.

Most guys in the portal are going to have some warts...if things were great at their current school, they wouldn't be leaving. For every Bo Nix, Jarret Stidham, and Cam Ward in the portal, there are probably ten Payton Thornes and T. J. Finleys. Doesn't mean we can't find a fit, but diamonds in the rough are rare by definition.

Jayden Daniels, Riley Leonard, Dillon Gabriel are the types we’re looking for. Not some reject that got benched at his previous school.

You know people on this board are always looking for insider information. This is the only time I have ever had any. I am not sure I will ever give any again if I have it.

It’s been widely reported for weeks that we intend to spend big on a qb in the portal. Taking a step back, do you really think Freeze is willing to risk his job riding with Castellanos? I mean he was dumb enough to run it twice with PT, but he can’t be that stupid.

One man's trash is another s treasure. He almost beat FSU two years ago with a weak BC team but all you can see is a short QB.
