Re: Too early for a 2-deep?
We gave Colby a chance and even he couldn't do it with those WR options. So lets see what our experienced QB can do before we give someone else a shot. If Ross doesn't produce by A&M then Im all for any other options. But I just don't see Ross struggling with 5 options after he threw 17tds to pretty much only ONE last year.

The MICK has spoken; let all dissenting voices be silent!
Re: Too early for a 2-deep?
Love me some Coach Mick and respect him more than anyone could ever know. My statement was in no way a shot at Coach Mick's remarks. I know these players and I know which players this team wants to go to battle with. That was my only angle in that statement.
Re: Too early for a 2-deep?
Not sure if this has been posted but it is an interesting article talking mainly about the Miami transfer Robert Marve but it also mentions other transfers to watch and talks about Paige, Creer, and Molton. http://collegefootball.rivals.com/co...sp?CID=1096994
Louisiana Tech WR Ahmad Paige (Tennessee)
The buzz: Paige is one of two Tennessee transfers (the other is RB Lennon Creer) and one of three from an SEC school (the other is WR Tim Molton, who left LSU) expected to provide big-play ability in a revamped offense. The Bulldogs have gone from a run-first approach to a pass-happy scheme installed by new coach Sonny Dykes, a former Mike Leach disciple. Paige really did nothing with the Vols, but he had a strong spring and should become a deep threat for the Bulldogs.

Masoli still hasn't declared for the supplemental draft

Draft is July 16. Any idea when you have to be officially in the draft?

Not yet -
Re: Too early for a 2-deep?
bad idea written all over it if it came here. we already have enough of a 'transfer u' label...don't want a xfer QB, RB, WR1, and WR2 all starting at the same time. we make enough fun of NMSU for all of their clowns, and we take the biggest clown in college football? seriously?
no thank you.

If the move makes the team better, I am for it. I would be very concerned that he might bring a bad vibe to our team though. But I trust Sonny D to be sure of what he is doing before he acts.

If they're the best we have at that position then why not? I'm can assure you no one's going to complain where they're from when they start scoring TD's.

We could use a good transfer DT.

'Yeah, Louisiana Tech, they'll take ANYBODY!'
you want that label? you want to be the new Troy?
(Sure, they win, but their reputation is garbage and its a big reason why another conference will never look at them.)
Re: Too early for a 2-deep?
He has still got to show up on campus and IF he shows up on campus he still has to abide by the rules placed before him....
If this player does come and does what the coaches ask of him - then I'm all for it...
Unlike basketball - football has an 85+ roster and a transfer should have less of an impact "locker room wise" than an 15 man basketball roster
It is a given we have NO one the roster that has this guys talents and he could take us from a realistic 7 win team to a team that has the possibility of winning 9 or 10 games -
It's worth taking a look at

Masoli's a head case, I'll admit that. But I don't have a problem at all with BCS transfers. I mean, these are the players we wouldn't have a prayer at signing out of HS. As long as the he does what is expected of him and takes care of his grades I'm all for it. It's all about winning and considering our W-L record last year I don't think we're in any position to snub our noses at anyone.

If Masoli comes and can play this year he changes the complexion of this season. He is a game changer who can run this offense the way it needs to be run. I dont think the coaching staff believes they have the qb to do that now. It would be a risk but as Al Davis said just win baby. If he has to red shirt well...
