Bronco7454 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 There is a very real disparity as far as scholarship players on Defense vs. scholarship players on Offense. By my count there are currently 46 scholarship players on Defense for Boise State compared to only 36 scholarship players on offense for Boise State for 2020. And their are actual Boise State fans who "think" BSU needs more linebackers - when there are currently 8 scholarship linebackers for 2020 for only TWO linebacker spots.

Princeton and Yale The last two don't offer scholies. Most kids pass on the Ivy league for that reason. "We don't have evidence but, we have lot's of theories."

Bronco7454 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Interesting possibilities for Boise State as far as QB's who are known to be in the NCAA Transfer Portal at this time who have not yet announced where they will be headed: Collin Hill - COLORADO STATE Tyler Vander Waal - Wyoming K.

Costello - Stanford Walker Wood - Kentucky Joey Yellen - Arizona State Jett Duffey - Texas Tech Jack Richardson - Stanford Anthony Brown - Boston College Daulton Hyatt - Arkansas Feleipe Franks - Florida Jack Allison - West Virginia Justin Rogers - T.C.U.

I hope we bring in Costello or Franks (total long shots) - just so we have a higher-rated QB than SDSU (with Sears) next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowl Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Why would a grad transfer QB come to Boise for his last year when Cord and Bachmeyer are coming back? They are going to want to go where there is no returning starter(s) IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to play for a winner and ended up being an integral part of a championship team. They can also sell that they just won a championship with a 3rd string transfer QB. Not everyone would want this situation, but there are guys that would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, were not Oklahoma but the last two, Cozart and Hendo have been stars in their role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco7454 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Any grad transfer QB who chooses to transfer to Boise State for his Senior season isn't doing so "thinking" he will be the starter. If that's his mindset then he's simply NOT a Boise State kind of player. In fact I'd say that doesn't JUST apply to Boise State. The vast majority of grad transfer QB's are looking for a spot where they can contribute and VERY few of them actually have a shot at being the starter at another school right out of the box.

kingpotato Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Uhhh, this is not a good sign. I can only think of one scenario where a signed recruit would be tweeting about receiving a JUCO offer. Can anyone else think of a different reason for me? Blessed to receive a offer from Kilgore college https://t.co/Nn3aRAMZRJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he had a lot of big time offers and Boise picked him up late (likely because they backed off). It doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to connect these dots.

NCAA eligibility is determined on a sliding scale with GPA/Test Scores. Hopefully all these kids focus the next few months to make sure they are not only eligible for a scholarship but immediately eligibility to play and not have to take an academic redshirt. http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Student_Resources/DI_ReqsFactSheet.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping it's just smoke without fire... but I'll be pleasantly surprised if he is here in the fall. He's one of the best recruits in the MW this season and at an area of need for Boise.
