2026 Portal QBs

CJ Bailey's true freshman stats were on par with Heintschel and JKS. His sophomore stats were better than Mendoza's stats last year at Cal.

If he was from Texas instead of South Florida, everybody on this board would be all over him.
Did he sign paperwork at NCSt.?

NC State's site said he had a bunch of big money offers. They're biased, so who knows. There is no real evidence in this world.

I can only go by what I see. He's produced in our conference, he's 19, he has physical tools, and he he fits. To me, it seems to be an obvious fit just like Mendoza was last year.
IMO Mendoza was a better passer than Bailey. And he is FAR thicker than Bailey. He carries weight much better. Even if Bailey is faster or whatever that is irrelevant. Do I think Bailey has some great arm? No. It seems fine. Is he extremely accurate? Again I don’t think he’s at all more accurate than Mendoza has been this yr. But again he’s fine. And most importantly does he understand defenses as well as Mendoza? I very highly doubt it. I fully believe OFF the field and character wise he’s probably best fit available. I said this like months ago but the best STATISTICAL metric for Bailey is his play on throws >2.5S. Pretty sure he was highest graded ACC passer on those throws. When you combine THAT with this offense and OLine gameplan on throws <2.5s where this offense/roster would elevate his game and you COULD be cooking a big improvement in his play.. I pointed this out months ago though

To me he has always been like a B- to B pickup. Certainly wouldn’t complain All that much, especially now. But we absolutely were CORRECT going for an A- or better add.

if we got any of Chambliss, Fifita, or Bailey, I’d be pretty happy with the result. Hopefully we wouldn’t have to overpay tooo much, but if we ended with one of those 3, alls well that ends well
 
What about a 5 star HS QB, Keisean Henderson, #1 overall recruit and #1 QB in the 2026 class? Committed to the University of Houston. Perhaps 6 million would convince him he's a P4 QB. Could he win the starting job or are we just interested in transfers?
Houston is already paying him gigantic money. And they would find the match money, as he is a hometown kid they view as program changing. Great player but I think it would probably be wasted
effort.
 
When he was deliberating, NC State's site reported he had a bunch of big money offers. They're biased, so who knows. There is no real evidence in this world.

I can only go by what I see. He's produced in our conference, he's 19, he has physical tools, and he has great character. To me, it is an obvious fit just like Mendoza was last year.
D, just let him die on the hill. Anybody who doesn’t think CJ is talented needs their head examined.

They didn't go after Mendoza last year. And that was before Beck came available.

I love our staff, but they were dead wrong last time and I said so. I think they've been wrong this year. Hopefully, it works out again.
Can’t argue with this

I’m indifferent on Bailey (and most of these QBs)

I think we will win a lot of games with pretty much any of the names mentioned here including CJ

I remember feeling the same way you did last year and this year, I’m just astonished at such huge emotional opinions about these guys
 
Some of yall married the first girl you ****ed and it shows.

dude... don't you think YOU could convince yourself to get over those feelings for just $1million dollars?????? ONE MILLION bro.... and I'm being cheap.... I'm sure our offer is more than 1million more than what he's making now.... times 2year deal..... like others have said... we're not talking $50k..... $1million extra in your bank account still sets you up nicely for many years, if not life...
**** yeah! I'm with you dawg. Say no more...... but I'm also a 50 year old man with a wife, 2 kid, a mortgage, and 2 car payments, lol. They could have had me for a lot less. I'm cheap :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:.
