re: Was Walker Howard way overrated or is there more to the story?

He never should have went to LSU

I get it you grew up around the program and it’s your dream but if you’re not coming into a situation where they need you to start as a sophomore you should just go elsewhere.

For example he could have went to a Big12 school and probably start by now.

I disagree. When Walker Howard committed to LSU (under Orgeron) , there was room in the rotation for him. The, something happened after the fact that changed that: Brian Kelly came in and brought Jayden Daniels out of the portal. After that, he had to transfer. It very well could have worked out very different.

The same thing could have happened to Arch at Texas. Ewers starts last year, Murphy as the redshirt freshman backs up and Arch the true freshman is #3. Ewers goes down, Murphy slides in to start several games. Ewers decides to stay another year. Sarkesian has to choose between experience and high profile recruit. He chooses the latter and Murphy transfers. If he had chosed Murphy, Arch would have transferred. No one did anything wrong, it's just the reality of the transfer portal for QBs.
