If there's nobody better realistically available, we should try to get Rising, but he's a significantly lower level player than Hartman. I'm just hopeful that we'll be able to get someone better.
I don't know that Hartman will end up being better than Rising.
Good point, Hartman hasn't been the transcendent QB we hoped for
this is exactly the situation. i think the only guy that might be available to really change our trajectory next year is pratt, and the only reason he comes back is if he thinks he can raise his draft stock. right now he is a legit third or fourth rounder, not just some 7th round/ufa type. next year we are going to find out how good freeman has been at development. it would be nice to have 4 qbs. i'll trust freeman to manage the roster, development and expectations.
He looked good in garbage time. Confident, calm, accurate. Obviously easier to make plays when you're up by 50
I’m right there with you. Need to figure out who the #2 Grad Transfer QB behind Pratt will be.
He looks terrible
Sure does and cracks me up
Absolutely. You don’t want to go into College Station with an inexperienced QB. ND should be going after the best grad transfer at every single position of need.
Agree, we could definitely be 7-2 with Angeli
I don’t think Angeli wins ND that game at Duke.
be surprized if Clemson does not move on from him and see what Vessina is like as a starter next year
That's the thing. If they're a true stud, they're not transferring. They're either starting for a top team or in the draft. And - both because of admissions and our pipeline - we're not really in the market for the five-star sophomore who's stuck behind a stud.
Totally agree. But what did Hartman do to win Ohio state? And he was downright atrocious against Louisville. Angie could’ve been better in either of those
He scored on a scamper in the Blue and Gold last season I think. He's not lightning fast, but can scramble when he needs to I think.
That's right, I remember.
Hartman isn't really slow, right? Doesn't the slow mesh depend on the QB having a little bit of scamper when he pulls it? Unless, of course, he ends up throwing it instead. I know he doesn't run much, but I thought the point of him coming here was to show scouts he could run a pro style offense. Not quite as mobile as Book, but more mobile than Pyne and certainly Coan.
