2021 Recruiting Board/Thread

historically, third string QB's have at times been damned important to us...

 

[primal defense]

Next up Malik Murphy.

 

[UTfish]

I can already see the heated battle between him and Wright for 3rd string! May the best man win!

Maybe, TB, but I wouldn't sell either one short. Both seem to have pretty good arms and accuracy. McCoy was a pretty good 3*.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Lourd does possess an incredibly strong arm. But he is all arm.

 

[Wayne]

Name one big time program to have two QBs transfer to Utah in the past two years..... 

Texas

 

[TexCoyote]

It’s not a guarantee that Thompson is going to start over Card. Thompson looked good in that bowl game but Card is going to be a really good player. It’s going to be an interesting battle for the job

IDK, he won me over. Let the best QB be 1st team. If Card is better and proves it, then play him. But Thompson looked awesome, IMO. Plus, he showed some speed that Ehlinger didn't have.

Randy McEachern? 

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Next up Malik Murphy.

Interesting scenario developing there. Klubiak or whatever his name is . . . plays 6A ball and has been tearing it up this past season. Murphy didn't get to play last season due to covid. Makes you wonder if he's further behind because of it.

 

[Earl Nobis Jefferson]

Randy McEachern? 

Excellent point.  Great history story there.  

 

[oldhorn2]

Randy McEachern? 

yep....and dont forget Donnie Wiggington

 

[Soldierhorn]

Randy McEachern? 

yep, that's a good example

Applewhite was actually third or fourth (depending) as 1998 started

Agreed

 

[tejasrulz]

Correct, we only have 2 returning QBs and 1 incoming freshman who is ranked about the same level as Lourd.

Plus we don't have to count him towards total takes/scholarships as a walk-on.

I don't see the slightest reason to not go after him.

I didn't realize he was going to walk on

 

[UTfish]

Tells me that the young man is confident and fearless of the competition. Beginning 3m behind everyone else in a 100m race and still expects to win.

That and his entire family is rich. lol

 

[UTfish]

That and his entire family is rich. lol

Didn't know that. That could put him 3m ahead at the start. Lol

Well, Manziel (gag) was pretty well off, too, wasn't he? Maybe high level competition was bred into him.

 

[Eastexhorn]

Let who ever can throw a accurate long pass 75% of the time start. Some thing tthe Horns have been lacking .

 

[RickyFlair]

I checked out Lourd’s highlights and he’s a steal as a POW. I don’t care about his family’s economic situation or the competition he faced. The kid has size, pretty good arm strength and really good footwork. He might have a scholarship in the near future

Damn, I didn't know he was a POW ?
