I likey!

Apparently he just visited Wisconsin this past weekend

Are we prepared to open our pocketbooks?

This would be a really big get. Finn is a really good player who is being pursued by several legit programs.

Vegas set the odds on his next school last week, and the top two destinations were Michigan and Ohio State.

Insider sources have indicated that #Wisconsin are the frontrunners for former Toledo QB DeQuan Finn. Longo has made Finn his top priority in the portal and he has made a connection to current #Badgers WR Will Pauling and OL Tanor Bortolini. Underrated pick-up if it occurs.

Wisconsin would not be the first school to come to mind for me if I was a dual threat QB.

Even though we are coming off an ugly offensive year...hopefully Spav makes our spot look a little more appealing with his past work with talented college QBs.

That would be a great pickup and make me feel much better about our quarterback situation. Time for all of the reportedly great recruiters we hired to prove themselves

Is Tanner Mordecai done at Wisconsin or does he get yet another year from his injury?

And maybe more importantly… The new and improved NIL

Maybe RG3 can be part of the welcoming committee on his visit.

Finn would immediately join RG3 and Seth Russell on a short list of most athletic Baylor quarterbacks in the modern era. I don't want to get my hopes up too much, but the fact that he's visiting is a really good sign.

This would be a coup.

If he were left handed who's you see?

Michael Vick. But he's a more efficient passer than Vick ever was in college, though. Vick would have likely gotten there with five or six years, but Finn is a legit passer too.

I'm a big Sawyer Robertson fan, but I'd love to see Finn quarterback this team next year and Robertson take over after that.

Don't we have a star point guard from Toledo, help us out RayJ

Not criticizing but how did he end up at Toledo in the first place.

Not sure but he looks pretty small.

Finn will be on a B1G team

With the exception of not having a good defense or a big offensive line, aren't we just like a B1G team? We certainly don't score very much.

He looks like he has a weak arm but elite scrambling and running ability. On a make or break year for Amanda, immediate results from a grad transfer make sense

Here's an *insane* stat:

Toledo QB Dequan Finn is the ONLY FBS player with at 18+ passing TDs and 7+ rushing TDs in each of the past three seasons.

The only four players to reach that mark in the past two years: Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jordan Travis and Dequan Finn.#SicEm

That's one less P5 looking for a QB

🚨BREAKING: Coastal Carolina QB Grayson McCall has committed to NC State, per @PeteNakos_.

McCall has 10,005 passing yards, 106 total TDs, and 14 INTs during his 5-year college career🎯https://t.co/FOAB4tJ7tP pic.twitter.com/fBhg0VKy3a

We are the only P4 program showing interest here….

Careful… you're going to offend Bear2….. we're the only P4 team showing interest because he's not a P4 talent…. He's a middling G5 QB or better yet an FCS QB

Do we have some kind of connection to the Midwest? Finn from Ohio and this guy from Iowa?

Never heard of her.

There are no highlights on this dude. And I watched highlights of them getting stomped by Ohio... There was nothing to write home about his QB play.

Same story with Nate Bennett! No other P5 team sees the potential, but trust Dave and Shawn Bell bro! I promise you that Shapen is better than this dude. I know this is just "interest" which is very vague, but if we bring this guy in, it's a net loss, and it disproves all the sunshine stuff about how great Spavital and this new running back coach are at recruiting.

As for the Toledo kid, he is not going to come here unless he is given a fat NIL check and/or guaranteed the starting gig. Aranda has already anointed Sawyer Robertson as the second coming, so the only other option is to get the checkbook ready

I get your dig at Bear2 but how did you reach this conclusion?

Some of us will slobber over Cam Ward, the portal transfer from Washington State because he gave the Washington Huskies all kinds of trouble on national TV. Previous to Washington State Ward was QB at FCS Incarnate Word. Most fans across the nation think Incarnate Word is a Christian bookseller.

Edit: Sorry, I thought you were talking about Dequan Finn because the title of the OP was about Baylor pursuing the QB from Toledo. Never mind!

Not sure I understand the comparison with the central Michigan kid. I know Cameron Ward's family personally. He is getting serious looks from NFL scouts. I also know that Oregon and other schools wanted him badly and were offering him serious NIL money. Offer lists don't lie. The interest you get from other schools doesn't lie. Your mom can tell you that you're very handsome, but at the end of the day, if you're going to the prom solo? Sorry to tell you, you're butt ugly

Watch his tape… he's not good… at least in P4 QB terms. Sure he can play on a bad FBS team or even a Good FCS one. Ward is obviously an exception. There's a kid at Holy Cross names slipping me but he's a QB who's getting interest from high level P4 teams. So there's clearly talent at the FCS level. I just don't think this CMU transfer is worth chasing
