I doubt that this young man is coming to LSu to be a backup. This tells me that the staff still has concerns about Jennings and Harris, and this guy might be the answer until Franks or whoever is ready.
we've had QBs transfer to be depth before.. think Andrew Hatch

Well at least in 2014 he threw for 800 yards in 5 games that's a 100 more per game than we have done as of late.
This doesn't even make sense.
If you add up both LSU QBs in the first 5 games last year, they don't even come close to the attempts he took (LSU 23.2 att Etling 32.4 att), yet they still had nearly 400 more passing yards and over twice as many passing TDs (6 to 11).
Do people realize the difference between 48.9% for Jennings and 55% for Jennings was 15 completions? Part of that has to do with an above average number of drops (5 dropped passes against Bama alone), plus receivers running the wrong routes, or getting pushed out because of not being physical, or letting TAMU corners out fight them for balls. Wrong way to fight for a ball, was what Dural did. The right way, was what Landry did to Vernon Hargreaves when Mett threw to him.
WR error (a lot of WR error), made him look even worse than he actually was, and he was pretty bad on his own. It's hilarious how much excuses people make up for Etling (I mean is he even on campus) and Harris, saying they will improve just because well, just because . On the flip side, they'll fight you to say Jennings was awful just because he was awful, and there is no way he gets better period.
I have no clue how Etling will adapt, hopefully for the best, but saying he's better than Jennings then backing it up with absolutely nothing, is hilarious.

The dude has he tools to be a good college quarterback in the right situation. I think he will compete for the starting job next year. Do I think he is mettenburger no but he took an awful Purdue football team and put up better stats than AJ with a lot less talent. I think he has a chance to be a very good game manager for us.
1st 5 games
Jennings - (2nd-6th college starts)
50.6% 83 passes, 8.84 ypa 734 yards 5 TDs 3 ints
Etling - (9th-13th college starts)
54.9% 162 passes 4.94 ypa 800 yards 6 TDs 5 ints
Had Jennings completed just 5 more passes, he'd have had a better cmp%. With 79 more passes, Etling managed just 66 more yards and one more TD. Seeing how he faired against the easy part of his schedule, what would have happened had he played the entire year?
This throw Jennings under the bridge for everything, he's garbage and will never get better, even terrible QBs similar or worse production are better than him, bullcrap needs to end.

How long do you think it should take to develop a QB? If Harris does well this season, or at the least shows marked improvement, it could be said he's done a fine job at developing his QB. Jennings wasn't a Cameron recruit and clearly evaluation was an issue there.

Nice backup QB in case the starter(s) use a fake ID, get involved with a credit card scam, get into bar fights, kick a downed marine in the head, jump fences at an apartment complex, break into apartments, etc...

Agreed. Harris was recruited by Cam. He certainly looks the part. It's now Cam's job to develop him. Cam seems to be blamed for bad LSU QBs for the last decade. It's strange.

How bad did you trash Matt Mauck when he showed up??? What about after he won an NC??
Posted on 6/23/15 at 10:33 am to doya2
I know he has to sit out a year,but can he have any type of interaction as far as practice / seven on seven drills goes?
Posted on 6/23/15 at 10:37 am to doya2
I like it. Purdue produced another QB that has had some little bit of success. Can't recall his name...
Posted on 6/23/15 at 10:37 am to Trojans56
He's a member of the team, he just can't play. As far as I know there are no practice restrictions on transfer players.
Posted on 6/23/15 at 11:12 am to SpeckledTiger
Should be mature by his Junior year or at least show significant development. I'm not expecting Harris to be all-world this season but this move for another QB is desperation.

Desperation? Only if he was coming in and expected to be the starter as soon as possible, which he isn't. In 2016, LSU now projects to have a Sr, RSJr, Jr, RSFr, and Fr on the roster. That's a good thing. There's no guarantee that both Jennings or Harris stick around depending on how 2015 goes.
I, for one, am happy that McMillan won't be potentially the only back up QB with time in the system in 2016.

That's the point I'm making. LSU has been horrible at recruiting QBs the past decade outside Mett who wasn't even fully developed here. Why does it feel like we always lack QB play and depth? I don't know who's responsible for the evaluations but they're doing a piss poor job at it. Depth is always an issue because they miss so bad on their evaluations they end on their way off in just 2 years if that in the program. Not going to develop anyone like that.

Agree. Harris and Dupre are Cameron's guys, and he wants to see them do well in particular. They will continue to get their opportunities no matter what. I see big things this fall for them!

Hatch started 3 games before getting injured, and transferred back to Harvard when he wasnt healthy enough to compete for the starting job in spring.
No QB is transferring to LSU to be a backup, the opportunity to start is obvious.
Think Mettenberger.
