Totally agree. It'll be great for competition in 2017.I think it is a very good pickup for us. He's got a lot of experience at the college level, and now he will be on a better team with better talent.
Next season, he will be a good scout team QB then available after TA is gone.
Especially since we will only have P.O.B., Darlington and him as it standsTotally agree. It'll be great for competition in 2017.
Bush?This is a great pickup. Not flashy but fills a gaping roster hole. We have zero pro style QBs in the system with any playing experience. This is similar to Michigan picking up Ruddock which bailed them out in a huge way last year. They had zero other viable QBs without him.
There are no gaurantees with POB and darlington isn't going to play. I'm blanking on his name .... did our other QB who was a swing and miss transfer yet?
Says he is also planning to petition for a 6th year.Sits a year and then eligible for a year. I do not know if he takes a scholarship for both years.
Testament to what's on the current roster.Good for the QB position, especially when he's eligible. GBR.

Sounds like Bush hosted Lee on his transfer visit.Is he leaving after spring semester? I didn't see anything in the paper about him leaving, but it would make sense.

Bear in mind that the kid from Iowa Western is also walking on.
All I know is ask scarletred, he's got all the info. And if not he will freak out. Walk easyIs he leaving after spring semester? I didn't see anything in the paper about him leaving, but it would make sense.

While it's great that we are picking up additional talent, it's very frustrating to see so many of our fans writing off and dissing our current young talent. Darlington and Bush were both just Freshmen. Neither may ever amount to much OR either could be the next Joe Ganz while we're talking about the next Harrison Beck, Brian Hildebrand, or Jordan Adams.If not a position switch would be needed.
Assuming you mean Zach Martin...this is the last I heard about him. Maybe it changed in the last month.
Where in this thread did anyone bag on Bush or Darlington?While it's great that we are picking up additional talent, it's very frustrating to see so many of our fans writing off and dissing our current young talent.

I'm also surprised at how many are only open to pocket passing qbs in our pro style systems. Today's modern prostyle offenses have evolved and thrived with qb's like Russell Wilson, Tyrod Taylor, Alex Smith, Cam Newton, Marcus Mariota, etc.... It is certainly possible that both our Freshmen can eventually make a difference here under center. Way too early to give up on these guys!
Exactly. And he just finished his freshman year, no telling what this kid can be in the future. He still has 3 solid years to improve. And hopefully Riley adapts his game too incorporate more of a mobile QB too. This isn't 1988 any more. Mobile QB doesn't mean a guy can't be a drop back passer too. You can have both skills now of days. I don't understand some fans just giving up on the 2 freshmen for a kid with 23 picks in 2 seasons. Don't get me wrong. I'm happy we have Lee. Any contribution to the team he makes will be a bonus. I'm just not giving up on Bush or Darlington.Bush hasn't left

Agree. Darlington looked darn good in the Spring Game and Bush had flashes, but appeared to be very nervous. Either one could emerge, which is why players compete in practice.Exactly.
