I'm concerned because:
1) He's an athletic QB.
2) No guarantee Novasad will be here,yet.
3
) BU hasn't exactly been fortunate to have the starting QB healthy for ALL the season going back to RGIII
Best I can remember we haven't had maybe but ONE that wasn't hurt going back to RGIII.
4) Shapen, physically, is questionable of making a full season w/o injury.
5) He's short and really not that athletic
6) Is our coaching staff/QB coach capable of correcting mechanic issues.

LOTS of players will be gone next year due to graduation, portal, etc. Looking for something to have comfort in that we can compete like we want and expect.
Since the coaching staff promised Novosad they wouldn't recruit a QB in 2022, I can't imagine he would renig on the deal.



That can't be true. We're still in the running for DJ Lagway (and he's legacy)


There are a couple people on this board that know his dad, and they have said that he is not likely to come to Baylor. I think Florida is his number one choice

Our best bet is to maintain that relationship and hope that he gets a beat out at Florida or wherever by the next great five star and keep a seat warm for him here

I'd bet DJ and his dad had some questions about how Bohannon and Drones were handled

I don't think we were ever seriously considered. I think his visits were mainly to make the old man happy and just enjoy the recruiting experience which is understandable for him, and from Baylor's POV it's great to be associated with 5* recruits

Can DJ not throw an accurate ball either?

That's something we won't have to worry about

It's getting hard to keep up with all of the QBs entering the portal....

Sanders at Baylor would be . . . interesting

All the notable QB's who have entered the portal--with experience as QB1's--will make it more difficult for Kyron Drones to market himself, and possibly will increase the chance that he will stay at Baylor.

I saw a stat that 508 kids hit the portal today alone. That's ****ing insane if true.

Saw the same thing.
It seems to be a whole different process with the NIL and the Portal.
Kids with talent play every game in high school, and they are looking for the same.
Can't say I blame them, and I fear the days of sitting behind a 1st string player till your turn are diminishing.

And only about half of them will find FBS homes, if recent trends hold.

Spencer Sanders is a stud. Would love to see him in a Baylor uniform but I don't think it makes sense unless we decided Shapen isn't the right guys. Besides, I don't see Sanders playing in a conference against OSU. OSU just lot starting LB that is a stud to the portal.

Some of this is new - players will be entering the portal to see if they can improve their NIL money. Will they be welcomed back if they not? Will teams now have to recruit their own players?

The way the NIL is going, much like our country in many ways, is just stupid and no one will step in a repair it.

Sanders is married. I suspect he is looking for a situation/ (QB coach) that improves his draft status.

He needs to land at Ohio State ... just because.

Unless a team is just a QB away, not sure it makes sense to take a shot on one of these mercenaries for one year.

So now if you don't start, don't like your coach, don't like anything, you just enter the portal. It's the damn wild west out there. Dumbest thing I have ever seen.

Maybe this has already been answered, but who will be our backup QB in our bowl game now?

I would guess the transfer we got this year from La Tech.

Someone should know the answer:

Is Drones attending practices???

He's not gone yet and may not leave.

There are a lot of proven-QB1's already in the transfer portal who will be getting the prime* spots.

Does Bell have any eligibility remaining? He used to be pretty good at hitting Zeigler in tight windows. I wonder if he could hit a wide open Ben Sims flashing right in front of his face?

Good for him. I was pretty certain it wouldn't be us, so I'm not disappointed. I'm just glad he didn't choose to waste his career in College Station.
