CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread

Wish Greg the best of luck, but with him being a local and future star here, this hurts a bit.

That's an interesting one..

Between Jett staying and incoming Utah guy was he worried about touches here?

Did he want to go somewhere that he would likely be 'the guy'

I really thought he'd end up at a Big12 school or maybe follow Odom.

Got a Quarterback

And who is to say he doesn’t pick up another guy that can play the spot. We all thought Sluka when we got him and then we got Hajj. Regardless of how they performed this year, they were neck and neck …. Not a tremendous talent gap, if any, between the two.
That's not entirely accurate... Sluka beat Hajj out after basically 3 weeks in camp. Hajj was here all Spring and summer. The fact that Sluka struggled with his passing in 2 road games vs Big 12 defenses is an aberration and because he walked away we will always have a jaded view and never got to see him get into real rhythm. There was certainly a talent gap and we got the most out of Hajj we could've expected but his struggles vs Boise and Cal show why he got beat by a guy with 3 weeks of practice... again, our judgement on the matter is skewed because Sluka quit.

Colandrea Highlights....

I think this deserves its own thread. I encourage you guys to watch Anthony's highlights. Remember, these are true freshman and sophomore highlights versus teams that normally had more talented than UVA.

I love the quick release and gunslinger attitude. He is also sneaky quick and athletic. Can definitely keep teams honest with his legs but more on rollout and keeps and squeaking through the LOS for 20 yards when coverage is good.

I would say that I would caution using him on designed QB runs inside the box versus LBs and DL. Would worry him holding up


Reminds me of Brock Purdy little bit and I bet a tape of his interceptions might show some of those same mistakes trying to make a play rather than just blowing the reads altogether. I could be wrong, though, that's for sure

Got him for both his Junior and Senior years too after having almost 5000 yards passing in the ACC as a young player.

Anyway, I like the signing in an Omar Clayton kinda way if you want a Rebel comp lol

History is NOT on our side. I’m not arguing that.

I’m just hopeful that Mullen has a better eye.

I can see why he signed him. He’s a passer.
I also think he can run when needed and while that may not be an RPO run first guy, I think he is the type that can create passing with his legs on roll outs and moving the picket type plays.

He may not be “the” guy as far as portal rankings go but I think he was at least very high on Mullins list of guys to get!

Of course, but Rebel fans have dealt with how many transfer QBs that were absolutely terrible and shouldn’t be QB at any level? I think a lot of the complaints are stemmed from past disappointments. Last year not many were happy with Hajj and Sluka signing on.
