Maddox hits the transfer portal

"1. Will Grier, QB: If you’re one of the fans still hung up on the inability of Holgorsen and his staff to recruit elite quarterback talent out of the high school ranks, I can’t help you. If you are a fan of talent, regardless of how, why or when it landed at WVU, then this is for you. "

It seems this is Dana’s MO. Like it and embrace it. He knows what is up.

Holman Edwards is on the roster.

Keenum was injured that first year he arrived, correct? Reporters always referred to his medical redshirt in 2010 as his second medical redshirt.

That’s the same evaluation those Chicago Bears fans said to me when I told them they made a mistake picking Mitch Trubustsky over Deshaun Watson! They said Deshaun had terrible throwing motion while Mitch’s was picture-prefect ideal QB throwing motion! Yeah, we saw how that went!

Very odd that he leaves with 4 games left in the season.

But we do wish him the best.

Probably has already been in contact with a school that’s promised him the starting job. Hey it worked out for LSU and Joe Burrow.

Yes, and he did have offers from Middle Tennessee State, Tennessee-Martin and Western Kentucky. So hopefully, he’s a diamond in the rough that surprises us all and becomes the offensive player-of-the-year in the Big 12.

Man a big time qb commit would be fun

No doubt that Dana has a QB on his radar screen and has no need for one if he thought that Kopp was the Big 12 answer.

Bet they discussed this and Kopp heard a blunt answer.

I guess we’ll find out soon enough if this is just spin or something real

Kopp just quit the team, with 4 games left.

Why in the world do that?

That’s the story, and we’re sticking to it. :slightly_smiling_face:

Find a landing spot early so he doesn’t get left out would be my guess. Him leaving now or later has the same impact on the team - none.

I’d love to get Bell but how do you know this

Because he was told it’s in everyone’s best interests. Time to move on.

I wonder what they mean by “fairly soon” as in this off season or literally soon

I wonder what’s next for Spencer Rattler up at OU?

montcoog,

Oh no! Don’t get me wrong!

I know we are recruiting the stud from Kinkaid’s SPC 4A state champion.

But I am guessing that he may very well be one of the only, if not the only player, in this year’s recruiting class, that becomes an impact I-FBS player from a private.

In my own time, Kinkaid’s Alan Luther became a starter for UT, as I recall, at OT.

But players like that coming from the private school ranks (other than the two Jesuit schools, which have UIL 6A talent and competition) are quite exceptional. They are almost the exceptions that prove the rule.

Fearless prediction: our first starting QB in the Big 12 will be a I-FBS transfer from the portal.
