Yeah - I was thinking about lost scholarships. But then I also thought...

...that if Romney is still a PWO, then threat of losing a scholarship really isn't a threat. So as long as the coaches are willing to accept him back as a PWO, there's no real risk in entering the portal.

In all honesty - dude has earned a scholarship and is likely in line to get one. So this is still hypothetical as far as if he didn't have one and didn't have hope of getting one.

I'd transfer to Utah to let Ludwig help develop me.

Tokolosh

Isn't he from El Paso?

11/8/19 10:56am

It’s a lot closer than Reno to Tuscaloosa

DieHarder

His family has since moved to AZ, where Gunner played at Chandler.

Parabellum

11/8/19 11:35am

He’s married... don’t assume he’s looking for another wife just because he’s from the Mormon colonies

DieHarder

11/8/19 11:25am

Ludwig will be gone after next year

11/8/19 12:05pm

Our turn style at OC says you’re right. But I think this time we’ve got one who will stay at least...

Tokolosh

11/8/19 12:09pm

i don't think he will be fired, I think he will leave for more money

11/8/19 12:29pm

Rising and Shelley are both there

puntersarepeople

11/8/19 12:29pm

Shelley can be beat out for number 2 IMHO. And regarding development, the last time we saw a QB grow and develop at Utah

Tokolosh

It just doesn’t make sense to me

Huntley’s development...

And you wonder why we give you crap for being here.

DraperCoug22

I actually don't wonder why YOU give me crap for being here. 20% of your CB posts since joining are Ute Smack

Tokolosh

11/8/19 2:42pm

Still not nearly as high as your percentage of Ute boasting.

DraperCoug22

11/8/19 3:06pm

Prove it. You’ve posted roughly 1200 times with roughly 230 being in the Ute smack category.

Would you like my SSN next?

I'd stay because the likelihood that I'd get a chance to play again would be

You don’t think being an NFL QB would be intellectually stimulating? And you

I'd peace and start somewhere, FBS, and preferably P5. If that is not an option

ThorLebowski

11/8/19 10:57am

I doubt he sees the NFL in his future. If he did, I don't know why he'd have been in Provo for 2 years now as a walk on.

You’re probably right but I was asking from my pretend point of view

I know, but it was really hard for me to NOT take that into account 🙂

He's a RS Freshman? I'd stay next year, try to graduate ASAP, and consider a

11/8/19 10:57am

Yep, this would be my plan too.

11/8/19 10:59am

That’s a smart move

SouthernBlueBlood

11/8/19 11:01am

That might not be plausible to accelerate graduation to 3 years

donnerstag

11/8/19 11:03am

Baylor is married.

JuicyJam

11/8/19 11:07am

Okay, I took that part out. But his being married makes him less likely to stay.

11/8/19 11:27am

Isn't his wife on the track and field team. She may not want to transfer.

She is a pole vaulter

Transfer where? And lose eligibility? Maybe Grad transfer- otherwise no.

CougieMcCougFace

11/8/19 10:57am

The best transfer route is to go JC

donnerstag

I thought walk-ons didn't have to sit out when they transfer anymore

Good gravy, we praise QB's fast at BYU

Please read the question. It’s all about this hypothetical QB using a Romney as

Today's athletes seem pretty anxious to move but Romney's in a pretty good place

I like that. I’d probably think the same. Of course i might also see myself as a

QB2 is on his way toward leaving football at some point due to concussion

I’d stay another year to see how the chips fell. Who’s to say Jaren doesn’t

BringYourUltimate

11/8/19 12:19pm

IIRC Critchlow already left SUU to follow Lamb over. Would seem odd for him to go back.

SingleStrapBackpack

11/8/19 12:57pm

If the coaches persuade the top 3 QBs into staying, it's likely that Critchlow

donnerstag

11/8/19 1:02pm

Jared’s got baseball so he could decide to focus on that and minimize risk...

icecougar

11/8/19 5:03pm

Good point. There’s a lot that can change in a year and a half

Stick it out....play with my brother......and then go FCS after my Jr. year.....

mokelembembe

11/8/19 12:23pm

Romney came to BYU as a walk-on to play with his brother.

I agree that the real Romney is more what your describing. I’m talking about a

11/8/19 12:38pm

Hypothetically - I think once you enter the portal, you're gone.

Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't he test the transfer waters and then choose

I don’t know the rules at all. It makes sense in how you lay it out

There was a radio discussion about this the other day I was listening to...

Eddie

11/8/19 12:53pm

Most coaches won't hold the scholarship of a player in the transfer portal

donnerstag

11/8/19 1:03pm

Yeah - I was thinking about lost scholarships. But then I also thought...

Eddie

11/8/19 1:21pm

I figured that was the case which is why I would discuss it with the coaches and

CougaRR4L

11/8/19 2:12pm

If I were a coach, I'm not sure how friendly I'd be to potential transfers.

Eddie

11/8/19 2:26pm

I get it but kind of a jerk move for a walk on kid.

CougaRR4L

11/8/19 5:37pm

Stupid if true unless it is usually that way only because the player has

CougaRR4L

11/8/19 2:13pm

I would stay but I think about it rationally. Most players don't go to NFL.

Transfer to Michigan.

I know a P5 program in the ACC that would offer him 😉

ThorLebowski

11/8/19 1:55pm

USU and UVA would put him on speed dial if he entered the transfer portal

donnerstag

11/8/19 1:58pm

amen. I agree 100%. Especially about those 2 programs.

ThorLebowski

11/8/19 2:00pm

If that is true about UVA I would look pretty seriously at that.

CougaRR4L

11/8/19 2:14pm

hush hush, Iago. But, yes.

ThorLebowski

If his wife is on the T&F team, and not a senior, then he's likely staying

jsjohnson1278

It really depends on where he could transfer to.

I actually think he has played better than the other two. He should go to

It would be a mistake for any team to offer that.

Eddie

It happens all the time in recruiting.

I would take that bet.

Not sure why you’re encouraging him to leave.
