RE: Unofficial 2022 Football Recruiting Thread - emu79 - 01-02-2022 09:00 AM
Here's a list of transfer QBs that may be on our radar:
Andrew Peasley Utah St
Baxton Burmeimister Virginia Tech
Cammon Cooper Washington St
Baylor Romney BYU
Jarret Doege West Virginia
Sofian Massoud Huston
Conner Bazelak Missouri
Kyle Vantrease Buffalo
Lucas Johnson San Diego St
We may add other names. I have no evidence that EMU has offered any one of these names-yet. We may go a different route and bring in a JUCO or 3 star high school QB in February. I have my doubts that we will have the new QBs available for spring ball.

May and Smith were lightly recruited. I don’t trust either of them.
We MUST get a QB from the portal.
I'm not disagreeing with you that we need to add another QB. But Glass III and Hutch were not highly recruited. In fact Glass III had to pay out of pocket for his first year. May and Smith have a huge advantage in that they know the system and have worked with the offensive personnel. Unless we get a play in here for the spring that advantage will remain.

no one knows what smith and may and kaminski are capable of more than CC and his staff. he can go out and snag a transfer if he thinks he needs one. he's proven he can work the JUCOs and portal.

agree with you, 'Nickle. My guess the problem is that both May and Smith were brought in with the 'next man up mantra.'
The 'next man mantra' is now.
Either with proper experience could be a good MAC QB.

May was incredible at New Philadelphia High school, he's a true dual threat QB! Regardless, how does CC not have a pulse on HIS program in year NINE that this was a possibility! I understand why Hutchinson wanted to leave, he saw the handwriting on the wall, but Bryant obviously was only hoping to play at the MAC level for ONE season! Next season we've a much more challenging schedule!

Hoping we give May and Smith a shot at it and we do t bring in a portal QB. We will end up in the same situation we are in now. I'm big on Baron and think he can win the battle and we would be set at that position for years to come. I know he doesn't have a ton of experience but most of what CC calls offensively is short routes and doesn't seem too complicated. He will also be in his 3rd yr at EMU which should make him ready.

Dan you make a valid point but I would suspect that if Coach was high on May and Smith, he would not have signed Helbig and Bryant. Just my take.
Dantonio did indeed build MSU on lower ranked recruits BUT he also recruited some pretty bad "citizens" that did not meet Ann Arbor, Columbus and State College standards. In my mind, that just is not a path Creighton will go down.

Depends if one once to compromise their standards. I believe most remember that Antonio Brown, in his day, was as good as they come, BUT...
"The 33-year-old has a trail of off-the-field incidents, distractions and legal trouble dating to the start of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers."
And where did he go to school? Was he a B1G, SEC, etc. Nope. He was a Chip. Was he a problem child at CMU? IDK>

GD your comparisons to Murphy are well taken.
That said, much of Murph's career was served prior to the "immediate transfer" rule we have now and when it was enacted, Rob truly did not have anyone on his roster that interested other programs, sans Ty Groce.
If I were evaluating the two coaches based purely on W-L records, they would appear to be similar in effectiveness. When you examine them, however, in other metrics, one could have a different take. Creighton increased football attendance and interest, Murphy did not do the same for basketball. Maxx Crosby and Andrew Wylie have given back to Ypsilanti and EMU, JT4 and Ray Lee....
To your original statement about Saban, Day, etc... anticipating QB's transferring, we are in uncharted territory as is Creighton. Ryan Day had a three-man competition for OSU's starting QB this spring and the two losers are transferring out. Joe Burrow spent three years there before heading to LSU, by contrast. THE WORLD HAS CHANGED.

It's very interesting seeing how McElwain is doing it in Mt. Pleasant. I think this is his 2nd or 3rd yr. Looking at his team, they look GREAT in certain areas. He has a stud RB who next yr will be his redshirt Soph, a D-line which looks fast and big (nothing like ours) and McElwain benched the portal transfer for a younger QB and it worked out. Very interesting.......

He’s a great coach; always has been, always will be. He turned Colorado State around, and his overall Florida record was pretty good. Hammock looks like he has similar potential.
Our coaching staff just isn’t at that level, and I don’t know if it ever will be considering what we pay. What I’m saying is this: When we have to find a new coach, are we going to “open the bank” for someone like McElwain? Doubtful. In college football coaching, you usually get what you pay for.
