Super unpopular opinion:
I’m not a believer in either TVD or Garcia & firmly believe we need to hit the Portal for a QB next year...
Think we should take a page out of SMU’s book & take whoever leaves from Oklahoma; yes I would take Spencer Rattler here in a heartbeat, **** I’d even take Micah Bowens if he decides to transfer again.
I’d also be on the lookout for Garrett Nussmeier (a kid we recruited coming out of HS), my guess would be with Ed O getting fired & new regime coming in & his dad being the QB’s coach for the Cowboys that he would probably wanna transfer to a school back in Texas, but I also think that if/when Kellen Moore gets a HC gig somewhere that Nussi will follow him & depending on who we hire as the new HC (hopefully an offensive minded guy who isn’t a former Cane coach lol) that we could potentially maybe pique his interest into coming here & competing with two guys that aren’t guaranteed shoo-ins to be starters, meaning he could easily snatch it from either one. Not saying any of this would happen, just saying IF he were to enter the Portal he’d be a kid I’d try to go get.
Would also reach out to Jalen Milroe again & see if he really wants to sit behind Bryce Young for 3 years or come here & be the successor to King... Same with Sawyer Robertson, Will Rogers is a Sophomore & Sawyer’s not gonna play for Leach for another 2 years, hit him up & see if he’s interested. Same with Behren Morton at TTech, Sophomore Maverick McIvor & Freshman Donovan Smith are in line to play before him & for a kid with his incredible arm talent if he hits the portal he’ll be a highly sought after commodity.
But the QB I’d go after the hardest aside from Spencer, is Cameron Ward, kid is a just Sophomore has terrific arm talent & is killing it at Incarnate, I know I know not a P5 QB, but neither is Malik Willis or Bailey Zappe & Zappe (who transferred from a FCS school) is 2nd in the nation in passing yards, 1st in passing TD’s & tied for 7th in completion % & Willis is gonna be a 1st round draft pick in the 2022 draft.
