Next year starters

[ULGrad@HOU]

I wouldn't mind a QB in the portal, but I also expect improvement from Lunch going into next season. He should be going into the offseason as a starter and thereby get more reps than last offseason.

Also, all QB play this year is directly impacted by the OL problems. If we cannot figure out a way to stay healthy and improve in the OL, your .500 prediction is optimistic for next season.

I would like to see a transfer come in and compete to start.

The stats don't say everything and you know it. How many drive killing drops did we have against Rice. I believe Sampson had 6 drops on his own that game. Walker has not had a chance to truly prepare for opponents and get into any rhythm of the game outside of the Rice game. He's CLEARLY the more accurate passer. Hell, the Troy game he came in for a series and threw 3 perfect balls on significant pass plays where ALL were dropped.

I think there's a reason WH won the job at the beginning of the season and there's also a reason Lunch lost out to Beale. Lunch is notorious for not practicing well. Jay Walker talks about it often. It might be why his ceiling is limited over time.

Not saying you are wrong but if you go back and read the live game talk Rice thread it tells a different story.

He had throws to invisible players. Not to mention throwing to hard, which basically tells you he didn't know his recievers.

Now Shelton hiding his injury could have had a lot to do with it but passes to nobody doesn't say much for accuracy.

If no receiver was there, doesnt mean it was inaccurate... now throwing high or low or long or short to a recwiver is inaccurate. If no receiver seems unable to determine if accurate or not

All hypothetical on my part, but it would mean they have no feel of the game.

Robotic throws will lead to disaster and inevitably interceptions.

If you throw to a location not knowing whether your guy is there where he is supposed to be, then you have no idea if the opponent is there on purpose or by accident.

If the coaches are teaching the QB to throw to a spot no matter what, they are the problem.

What kind of money are we talking about to lure these guys away to not play?

Unfortunately, that seems to be the mentality of today's society. In the last year and a half, I have had to hire for a position that requires manual labor plus occasional delivery driving. It has been like a revolving door, they all want to get paid, want overtime, but don't want to actually do the work. 13 people hired in 18 months. And I'm am very honest in the position during the interview process. It's warehouse work. I explain it's hot during the summer, like 120 degrees, cold in the winter, 20 degrees, and you get dirt in places you didn't even know you had. And though we do the same thing everyday, you still need to be flexible for the occasional wrench in the works. We deal with heavy items all day. We get here for 5am and work until the work is done. You will be responsible for sweeping the warehouse, taking out trash daily. And the response from them is always "I can do that. I'm a hard worker."

Pay for no work. Pay for no play.

George Jackson will be a starter on the OL, he should be coming back. Brent Gordon Jr will be one of our CB's and a good one as long as we can keep him. Tony Sterner will be our Kicker. Carter Milhorn will be back as our LS for another year. If healthy Cooper Fordham, Bryant Williams and Kaden Moreau will be on the OL somewhere. Kody Jackson will probably be in the Safety rotation, JaCorian Norris will be our Kick Returner, Maurion Eleam and Collin Jacob will be in the safety rotation as well. Caden Jensen and Brock Chappell will be the TE's. Charles Robertson will be in the WR rotation with Landon Strother. Our starting punter will be the new Australian kid that was signed yesterday, coach has already said that he would be shocked if he is not the opening day punter. Again much of this is based on what happens in the portal.

Nice discernment of our talent for next season!

Remember the best qb on coastal Carolina roster was buried behind our current crop of qbs while at UL. Samari collier left UL because he was behind the guys we have now.

Maybe hire 2 and have one come in early (leave at normal.time) and the other come in a few hours later.and stay until work is done plus you arent out completely when one quits

Seems you should be able to keep it wamer than 20

That was deemed a conspiracy theory by RPCA
