Kurt Benkert finally named starter for ECU
http://www.ecupirates.com/sports/m-footb...15aad.html

"We've had great competition at that position so far, but we felt it was time to name a starter to move forward with our preparations for the season," McNeill said. "While Kurt will have the first opportunity, we feel very good about the capabilities of Blake (Kemp), Cody (Keith) and John (Jacobs). Like anyone else in our program at all other positions, Kurt will need to keep progressing and continue to earn the job throughout the year."

N/A....... he's sitting out. It should be known that he's just a walk-on and not a scholarship transfer.

Nowhere, he's not eligible at this time and likely won't be this year.

Wasn't Cody Keith allegedly a 5* QB who was flying under the radar according to the EZU homers?

4* according to Tom Lemming: http://www.debartoloqbacademy.com/news-b...re-academy

His very wealthy parents also helped finance a documentary about his recruiting process: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1461432/

However most other recruiting services did not rate him that highly.

I thought Kemp was gonna get it after the first scrimmage.

Blustering in from sea,
With a rollocking song, he sweeps along, Swaggering boisterously.

I guess adding the EZU was important to asking your question. ECU must of been to hard to type.

However most other recruiting services did not rate him that highly.

However it was posted everywhere on social media that we landed a 4 star QB by the majority of our uneducated fan base. Just like this year with John Jacobs being named by some dick wad as the best dual threat QB in the country. And bleacher report followed it up with an article saying he was a 5 star, which led to my idiot friends I graduated with from ECU asking if Jacobs would start day 1 and how he would lead us to 10 wins etc this year.

Now I hope Jacobs is the next big thing, but its a difference in bleacher report calling you a 5 star and 247sports saying your a 3 star and the 49th best dual threat

RE: Kurt Benkert finally named starter for ECU
He has the best arm, He is the best Runner, and He is the most athletic of our QB's just has to settle down and grow up on the field with true experience on the filed this year. It will be scary, fun, and frustrating at times for sure to break in a new young QB. Carden was steady and smart, with a very accurate arm. Kurt has more natural athletic ability, that ability can bring our QB play to a higher level OR get us into trouble quicker!!! We will see.

Benkert will be fine but the same statement was said about Rio, besides shane being a little bit better of a playmaker with his feet

wrong. Rio had a cannon and if you look past the skin color you could realize that shane was the better scrambler and rio had the better arm of the two. clearly shane won the job because of the intangibles and leadersip qualities. Rio had NFL arm strength and it was said as early as his freshman year on pirate radio by skip holtz
