Pribula from Penn State might be worth getting in here. Dual Threat guy.

---

frankly, I can't name even one dual threat QB that we've ever had in here that had any NFL potential.

Tone Jones perhaps. (Robinson wasn't really dual threat, IMO, just mobile) - while we've had lots better luck with more traditional drop back QBs like Fields, Weeden, Rudolph, M Gundy, Weatherbie, Rusty Hilger, etc.

---

Robinson had over 400 rushing attempts for over 1,800 yds and 22 TDs. Jones had just over 500 yds rushing with 16 TDs. Yeah, perhaps Jones's was a dual threat and Robinson wasn't. SMH

---

LOL, what's the matter you couldn't refute my main point, so you snipe at trivialities'? Robinson had 8,300 career passing yards, which is more than the TOTAL offensive yards of all but 3 of our career QBs

Main Point: "we've had lots better luck with more traditional drop back QBs"

Secondary Point: "name even one dual threat QB that we've ever had in here that had any NFL potential"

Sure, let's call Robinson a dual threat... it still means that we have consistently have better teams with drop back QBs, not dual threat guys, which is about all we have on the roster now.

None of the dual threats we can get will get us any better than decent, most of the time. These guys coming in here are not Michael Vick, or McNab, or Bridgewater, or that caliber of dual-threat.

This is college, not the NFL. Having or not having NFL talent is irrelevant to achieve success at the college level - it's been proven time and again that success in college doesn't correlate to success in the NFL.

Now to the real point, under Gundy we've had success with dual threat QBs when we've utilized dual threat QBs. Robinson, Walsh, Sanders and to a lesser degree Woods, Reid, Chelf and Cornelius. The only real "pocket" QBs Gundy has utilized in a meaningful way have been Weeden, Rudolph and Bowman. I don't think there's a real reason to foreclose any type of QB, but a QB that can get you yards with his feet has been more common and just as successful as the few pocket QBs we've had.

I started to agree with your statement, but on second and third thought I think that NFL QBs ALWAYS did well in college. Having NFL talent ALWAYS correlates to success at college.

Besides, "success" can be a relative term and you didn't really define it. Thje teams with NFL QBs from OSU were consistently better W/L wise than those teams who had the other folkes you listed. What is success in college? 9 wins? 3000 yrds total offense?


you know what, I don't even care.

Coach Mike can bring in all dual-threat QBs if he wants to. I'm just here to hopefully be entertained.

(although lately, I'm finding softball and wrestling to be more entertaining)

Hey Zach, I know you are busy. But the list of offers that are out? Could you update it kind sir? By my count there are only three on that list that haven't committed to a school.

Are we looking at QBs? I don't see any offers on the list and no one has visited since Morris. Looks like we are building a strong defense, but aside from Hicks not much to show on offense. Granted Meacham hasn't been in the building as long just curious if we are even trying.

I cannot answer your first question about looking for QBs, but the part about "even trying" suggests that there is someone there worth trying for. Which is a very good question.

It's not the last opportunity to land players, the spring portal window runs from April 16 to April 25 after Spring practices, and some kids could find out that they might be better off looking around, heck, we could still lose a QB to the portal if one of them gets impatient after Spring Drills.

Also, grad-transfers can enter the portal at any time.

I would hope that they are taking their time and trying to identify the best fit, if any. Not taking a QB does not mean they were not trying.

I agree with the question of if there's anything worth going after. Just looking at the list of guys available on ESPN it's basically guys with promise that could be good and we already have those here.

Those lists are based off guys who have publicly announced where they are visiting based upon social media and other communication! There are several players who are coming in who haven't announced where they are visiting and when! I think Robert knows who they are but isn't going to put it out unless it is made publicly or they announce a commitment!

Thank you for the information! Go Pokes!

A good example is this DB we just picked up in the portal from UNC Charlotte who came in earlier this week unannounced but just committed to OSU! Oh and I will add another Shamar Rigby, big WR from Purdue who visited this weekend and committed to OSU!

Well we certainly need the help at Wr

Interesting to me our safety Hylton commented he's been offered by several schools as a portal guy, but also noted "he'd be interested in OSU but they haven't contacted him yet". Makes me think all current players must secure a new offer or they're back to finding a home. Hylton seemed decent as a player to me.

Hylton was finished with eligibility until this ruling on Juco's. He just went into the portal today. No one should be contacting him as it's a dead period. So let's wait and see what happens before we start why don't the coaches do something.

And I don't doubt he's been contacted as many of the schools out there don't seem to abide by what few rules are left.
