In think Hoobs probably got it right, more about a coaching track than expecting to beer the qb. Ib suspect, however, that'll he'll compete hard for the position. There is no better place to beer the QB than San Diego State. Ib suspect you are right.

Unless he gets in for Spring ball doubt he can really be considered to be the starting QB , Is he going to be taking a scholarship . Agree Bawden would then red shirt or transfer .

This guy has zero bearing on Bawden's future here, except as a mentor. He's got one season for us, Bawden isn't going to start this year. The following year, he'll be gone and Bawden will be ready.

I could not wait to get over here to the Mesa and read what a bum the kid is. Yeah he completed 60 % of his passes and has 21 TDs and 9 ints. The kid played in the lousy SEC so we know that combined with our terrible coaching we are doomed, I tell you doomed. . Now that is off my chest he still has to sign and transfer. I am very happy we need a guy who has proven he can play QB at the D1 level and here he is. He will compete but we know he can play if he stays healthy. We do not need Joe Montana back there just a guy who can completel 60 percent of his passes and does not throw a lot of ints.

Nobody said he was a bum or anything close to that, just he is unlikely to start.

If Jake R. can stay healthy he will be our QB next year, and he may be the difference between 7 wins and 10 wins. Everyone else is injury insurance -

I don't care if he only throws 50% vs 60% so long as he doesn't throw picks. His interception per attempt ratio for his career at UK was 1.54%. To put that into perspective, that would rank 14th in the country in 2014 and our QB's were 4.04% which was 110th in the country. It's going to be a dog fight for the QB position this spring and fall between Max and JR.

I get a feeling that JR might not be as good as advertise. Why would Rocky add to his collection of QB if JR is the next best thing to Joe Montana. Why would some one leave a starting job from an SEC program? The vibe i get is Rocky long is getting cold feet on JR.

JR has had an injury or two in the past, I'd just look at it as buying a year of insurance. If so much is riding on next year being the break-out season, he'd be a fool not to get some experience in reserve at the most pivotal position - whether that reserve is this kid or JR.

I got one I'm pleased to see rocky grab senior insurance.
By far a better Qb then we have had for a few years.

So we now have a QB mentor and a proven insurance policy at QB?
I like it!

The dude served as a mentor to the starting freshman QB last season. His stats show he's a good insurance policy who won't turn the ball over. Something we lacked last year.

Would guess that the transfer enrolls in January ,so he can play Spring Ball . There is a battle for QB J.R . and the transfer , starter and back up, with Chapman third string . Bawden and the HS recruit red shirt . That is if every one stays in the program .

I wonder whether new coach White is somehow involved.

Just ask Ohio State. I think this is more about the fear of having JR backed-up by a true sophomore and a RS Freshman.

Just ask Ohio State. I think this is more about the fear of having JR backed-up by a true sophomore and a RS Freshman. I think it is all about competition and depth. AZTECs lately tried to recruit a JC QB, Hubnek but likely to Houston. Smith if health can provide a proven back-up for one season. AZTECS did the same thing last season with Odeman, but he did not win the back-up spot and left. My concern is making sure AZTECs have dominate WRs, if the current group cannot stepup, need to recruit JC stud. AZTEC coaching staff is doing the write things. I still want to know who will be coaching RBs and TEs?...walkonfan...

He wants to be a QB coach and has been a mentor. I see that plus the role of quality back up a a huge win for us.
