Horns247 Board

I heard that Andrew Luck graduated and will forego the draft for just 1 year to come play his final year of eligibility at Texas so he can see what it feels like to have some eliete talent, take Texas to the NC game, and spend a few months running trains. Apparently DGB is in on the deal too and he likes it. Everyone else stays too and Wallace commits.

Reminder:
1) Wallace isn't a sure thing to commit
2) No one knows for sure about Case transferring
3) The Brewers have not been contacted in regards to bringing in another quarterback (as of today)
4) Mack is still undecided whether he will be having Popeyes or KFC for lunch.

There has been too much spilled milk already over this. He almost has to leave now.

I hope he transfers. I don't have any venom for him, but I hope he transfers. He's not a D1 caliber QB. That's not a critical statement, it's a simple reality. He's a fumble risk on every snap due to size, he has an incredibly weak arm, and he and his father perpetually stir drama about playing time as though this were high school.

I watched McCoy throw a tantrum on tv during the OU game. I saw him looking pissed on the sidelines in several others. I heard his dad speak in the spring and basically tell an audience that his son was the only real solution at QB. It's not Internet innuendo. I have seen things with my own eyes that I am sure others have witnessed as well, in large part because it was all semi-public or public.

It's not venomous to look at the situation for what it is and discuss it that way. Otherwise, the boards are worthless. You want rah-rah sunshine with nothing but happy face emoticons? Hornfans has plenty of slots open. Not saying that's you, TexShoe, just that it's some folks the minute anything mildly negative is touched on about a player, coach, or team issue.

I wonder if we've taken players based on previously agreed packaged deals, i.e. I'll come to your school, but in 2 years, you have to take my little brother. I doubt Case fits in this category since when we signed Colt, nobody in the world knew he'd turn into the winningest college QB of all time, even for just a few years, so he didn't have the leverage to do this back then. But as he kept winning games for us, that had to have played a factor. I've also wondered about guys like Jeremy Hills and Marcus Griffin, although Marcus did turn into a solid contributor for us. I'm sure there are others, but I can't remember them right now.

Back to Case, I surprise myself sometimes when I see myself sounding like a Case apologist. I think part of it goes back to Simms years. Yes, he blew the Colorado game, but the way he was treated afterwards by our own fans still disgusts me to this day.

good post. totally agree.

This is not about entitlement, its about what were communicating (our message) to him at this point by making this move. If Case, Ash and Overstreet remain as QB's and then you add the 2013 QB, you can clearly see that this becomes an awful crowded house. I'm sure there are some things happening behind the scenes, but until Brewer receives word as to our rationale for making this sudden change, keeping his pledge to me remains the most important. If you lose him in this process, you would agree that the team wouldn't end up stronger as a result. Of course this is all based on speculation. I still think Case ends up transferring in the end.

Yep.

There are countless kids who have nice high school careers that don't get offers due to physical limitations. He was a stick figure coming out of high school with a noodle arm. If his last name wasn't McCoy and his brother wasn't the winningest QB in collegiate history at the time, his only offer would have likely been Colorado State. If the schools would have realized what a pain Helicopter Brad would be, maybe none of them would have offered.

Do you really believe this to be an accurate ranking? I know a lot of you really obsess over stars, but it helps to cross reference the star system with reality once in awhile.

Do we really think that Jalen Overstreet is going to play QB? Personally, I don't see how he was better than Miles Onyegbule or Mikkele Thompson as a HS QB.

I have kept quiet due to the fact that I don't have firsthand knowledge about the alleged McCoy drama, but I will say that if even half of it is true, I would expect his continued presence to be accompanied by defined parameters regarding future conduct of both Case and his father. If the accusations are baseless, them my apologies to both. I would hope that the University can maintain a great relationship with Colt; but no kid, no matter how well connected, should be allowed to force a school like Texas into this kind of last minute mess.
