Quarterback recruiting

This is going to be very interesting to see how it plays out. I see Noyer/Lytle/Montez as the transfer candidates based on how this year plays out. If Montez is unable to win the starting job and is benched, one would have to think that he is going to look at other options for PT. I see either Noyer/Lytle transferring after this season because which ever is the 3rd string will be passed over by Stenstrom following his redshirt year. This year it could be Montez/Lytle/Noyer, next Montez/Lytle/Stenstrom then Montez, Stenstrom, Evans. Regardless, this is becoming a talented QB room.
 
This is what I could see happening and chances:
1) Noyer transfers after spring ball (50%)
2) Noyer grad transfers after the 2018 season (35%)
3) Lytle transfers after the 2018 season (10%)
4) Montez grad transfers after 2018 (5%)
 
Noyer transferring after spring ball would suck. That leaves Montez and a redshirt Freshman as his backup. I suppose we could elect to not redshirt Stenstrom and thus provide an extra year gap between him and Evans if that came to pass.

Nothing wrong with Lytle being the backup as a redshirt freshman, that is the same setup we had this year with Noyer. Stenstrom is then the emergency guy.

It would not suck. Allowing a 2nd year player (Lytle), who happens to be the most highly recruited QB to CU in a decade, to be the backup is perfectly fine.

I asked about a lightly recruited QB, who looks entrenched as a backup for the next few years, possibly having been recruited over with Lytle, Stenstrom and now Evans. I think it’s a legit possibility.

True, but it’s not ideal. I’d prefer to have Lytle and Noyer as backups in 2018 with Stenstrom redshirting. Best laid plans and all that, I wouldn’t expect things to go exactly as hoped.

I actually think a lot of people inside and outside the program would rather see Lytle as the backup/mop up duty in 2018. They aren't going to throw either of those two into tough situations where they have to go out and win the game anyways.

It is the natural progression of the discussion, IMO. Things being the way they are, kids want to play. It’s not a stretch to look at the depth chart and see where Noyer might decide he wants to go somewhere to get playing time. It’s pure speculation, though.
 
Yeah. People transfer all the time. QB seems to have it happen a lot. But it's not like CU has that many guys at the position or a bunch of blue chips.

In 2018, assuming no Spring transfers, there will be four scholarship QBs on the roster with one redshirt available. It’s starting to get a bit crowded. In a good way.

The point was by the time 2019 rolls around, there will be 5 scholarship QBs on the roster, including an entrenched 3 year starter, and two younger, “almost blue chippers”. Noyer’s prospects don’t look great to see significant PT in my opinion.

Not sure why Noyer would be singled out without there being specific info there.

But, yeah, I'd expect that at some point someone at QB will start feeling like he's the odd man out and look to transfer. Nature of the position where only 1 guy gets to play.

Is it really that hard to see why Noyer is the one being singled out in this discussion? I guess Lytle could be a candidate as well, but I just think he’s the more talented one, who also has family and friend ties to some pretty highly regarded 2019 recruits.

Without anyone having heard/reported anything about him being unhappy or of Lytle being expected to pass him on the depth chart this spring based on the fall practices, yes, it seemed weird to me that people are speculating on him transferring.

I don't put a name on who I'm happy with at backup. As long as the next talented-and-ready guy is actually QB2 on the depth chart, I don't give two RM oysters what his name is.
 
Love me some Montez, dude has the potential. All this transfer crap being brought up - why can't one of these "transfers" possibly be our Jake Fromm? Why does Allbuffs always choose the half empty glass? why the scary path? never know, one of these freshmen could come in and start from 1st snap.

I would say what tends to happen more often is an extreme tempering of expectations for young QBs.

I will vouch for that especially with some CU friends and acquaintances this past year with Montez. Before the season started the buzz was he was going to be first team Pac 12 (I know, silly with Darnold and Rosen in conference...not to mention Browning and Falk) and by mid season most were saying he was a bust. It's funny how there rarely seems to be moderate takes.
 
Noyer is a nice kid. Hard working, but if he sees the field again, we have issues. Too be honest, if Montez doesn't lead us to 7+ wins, I wouldn't be surprised to see Lytle or Stenstrom get the snaps in 2019. Best thing that could happen is scouts talk up Montez, we win 10 games and he leaves. This group is more talented than we've seen as far as offer list and talent than I can remember since the mid 90s and that doesn't include Noyer or Montez. Evans makes some unreal throws on the run and out of the pocket and under pressure that you don't see from many guys. That was a BIG commit.
 
This is the thread where we are educated that the higher rated High School QB always, and I mean always, turns out to be the best QB.

Noyer will get passed by Lytle in a few short weeks.
Then Stenstrom will get passed by Evans well before Evans gets here. Hell, Stenstrom should transfer now.

And last year we had speculation that Noyer would pass Montez and be the starter.

I do believe that sooner or later Noyer will be the odd man out but that still is to be determined on the field. It is also worth remembering that best laid plans are only one hit to the knee away from completely changing.
