It was AJ's gf, K Webb. Didn't know they were expecting.
Fair enough; like I said, I can definitely see it that way as well. Committing a scholarship for a year is definitely low risk. I guess I'm not looking from the standpoint of someone who would be someone who's not coaching for a job next year, and MM and co. definitely are. Also, I may be influenced by recency bias with Jordan Webb, Connor Wood, and Logan Gray. Finally, it's hard to make a call without knowing the scholarship situation for next year, which I definitely don't (i don't think any of us do). I may also understand this incorrectly: as a transfer, does he count against the class limit? Or just against the 85?
He wouldn't count against the class limit. The 25 won't effect us, though. We're way under the limit and won't be able to count enough guys backward next year through early enrollees and blueshirts to get to that 25 limit.
All upside for CU if they can land Webb, very little if any downside. It is great that Chiv has a relationship with the guy and that Chiv is going to be the Co-OC. What is more concerning is that if a bigger fish than CU, and the P5 has a few, recruits him. Florida State, Oregon, Florida, and quite a few others are in desperate need of a QB next year and have shown an openness to bringing in one-and-done graduate QB's (FSU and UO).
Well, from what I've read on here, Oregon is grabbing that transfer from Montana State and Florida just grabbed Purdue's transfer. Plus, this Webb kid isn't very mobile, right? Doubt Oregon would be a fit in that case. But yes, your basis for being concerned is valid.
I did not know that about UO or FU. Good to know and it makes it seem as if CU has a better shot at Webb. Thanks.
Plus Houston, aTm and OU all secured transfer QBs this week.
Gotta disagree with you on this one. The ideal situation is where Montez has two full years in the system before taking over. I have almost no faith at all in Sefo, and Apsay is the prototypical backup.
If we can get this kid in for one year, win a few games, get to a bowl game and set up Montez to break out in 2017, that's a perfect scenario.
Therefore it will not happen. We can't have nice things. That's been established.

I agree with both, good job.
A Bad-Cou-Ute if you will...
The market for transfer QB's seems to have really proliferated these past few years. Kind of like college basketball players.
It's the one position where one guy earns the job and the others sit. Quarterbacks have the biggest egos on a team. They were always "The Man" through high school. The sudden realization that you he will be relegated to a backup role is tough for a lot of these guys to deal with, I'm sure. A lot of 'em red shirt and are smart enough to graduate in 4 years, giving 'em a 5th year option for a free move.
The NY Times article that was linked on this board somewhere pointed out that more and more QB's are accelerating their matriculation rate, taking 20 credits/semester rather than 12-15 and jamming a bunch of summer classes in so that they can graduate in 3-4 years. This is being done with an eye towards flexibility if they don't get the starting gig like you mentioned.
I know the Hawaii QB did that at USC, he graduated in 3 or 3.5 years, which gave him the ability do a graduate transfer with out losing a year of eligibility.
Since Webb is a one and done, and Jones can't play this year, I think we are still in a good position here.
Not likely, considering transfer sit out rules for underclassmen compared to graduate transfer rules.
Yep. If the coaches have to use non-traditional methods to get the talent this team needs, then fine. Just get the talent needed to win.
I'm not a graduate of the College of Sports Governance, but I'm pretty sure we have to self report to the NCAA, the fact that you used the term, "non-traditional methods" with regards to recruiting.
Sounds like post-grad thinking to me.
Ok; you guys win. I was not that invested in my stance before and you've won me over. Go get 'em, Chev.
