SphyNxXx 98 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Saw an article on Facebook that it looks like we are going to offer a QB from Old Dominion that has 2 seasons left. Described as someone to mentor Walker White. It said Freeze was familiar with him because he carved up his Liberty defense last season and took them to the wire.

Why do we need some awful FCS QB to mentor WW? We need players not mentors Also 27/46 56% 297yds ~5ypa 2td/1int isn't exactly carving up 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Manning waiting in the wings I'll be surprised if Murphey stays. Dumber things have happened though. What I heard as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid at Old Dominion threw for almost 3,000 yards last year on an absolutely terrible team. Probably an improvement over anyone currently on our roster. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuCivilEng1 12,294 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 I live 20 mins from ODU. I’ll go scout him for you guys. Maybe throw him some NIL money. “oh you don’t know if you want to come to Auburn”. Well tell that to my friend…….Mr. Washington! 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better not be the only QB we take, if so. This is starting to feel like last year when we kept hearing that Harsin was bringing a top tier QB in from the portal. He ended up with Zach Calzada and Robby Ashford. Then when fans were starting to worry that those 2 QB's were all we were getting in the portal, media starts saying those 2 are just depth pieces. Harsin will get his bigtime QB anyday. It never happened and TJ ended up starting at QB1. I know that Freeze's staff and Harsin's staff are like night and day difference but damn, this is beginning to feel like the same song, different verse and that our portal QB will just be a Calzada type QB that isn't really an upgrade from what we have. Fingers still crossed though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,896 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 And not news but Caleb Etienne is now in the portal. Adding him to our O line haul could (would) attract more attention to AU of fence stradling top tier veteran would-be transfer QBs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gowebb11 9,946 Posted April 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2023 It is highly frustrating that we haven’t (yet) landed a big name QB from the portal. But I don’t for a moment believe that CHF isn’t shooting his best shot to land one. AU hasn’t exactly demonstrated that we are a great path for a bright NFL future. Cam was a once in a lifetime one and done, Marshall is a career CFL db, Stidham regressed while at AU, and Bo had to leave the program to have his best season. Throw in a poor o line and below average WRs and I wouldn’t be dying to come to AU as an QB either. I hope we land a stud this portal round but it may be that Hugh has to coach up what he’s got until WW gets here. He’s paying the price for several years of poor recruiting and bad roster management. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sizzle 3,948 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 It would be nice if we landed a big time QB in the portal but if he’s in the portal then he’s in there for a reason and that guy probably won’t be a savior like people would want him to be. This is Hugh’s first year and now with the portal, fans want that instant gratification even more now. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unlikely we'd take a Sr OT unless we can convince Wade to move inside for 1 year???
