Great win last night and of course the season just started and we could have a very special year. With that being said, I guess we will hit the portal next season for a starting QB correct?

BK has seen the light about the portal

I have high doubts the 2026 starter is on the current roster

You see Ronk, I knew someone was going to flame and thats where simple minded people like you are well….simple. You can bet Kelly is already thinking about next year…esp at QB. He probably has been thinking about it for 2 seasons. I also stated before the post that the season just started and we looking forward to a special year. But simpletons like you have zero comprehension. High IQ fans are already thinking about next year, as this year is progressing. Its how successful programs are built. Kinda like when Johnson is pulling recruits during the CWS…looking to sustain success.

Unfortunately Ronk, fans like you only see the road directly ahead of them, when the smart ones are seeing that road a mile away.

He is an interesting story Chicken. Didn’t start a game at qb until collegeZ has good size.

he started as a freshman in high school but his high school kept bringing in transfers to be the starter in later years...he was also played safety. He is a redshirt freshman at North Texas.

Patrick Mahomes has told him he has all the tools for the NFL...someone will pay him big bucks to transfer.

I’m certain the staff will worry about 2026 in January. But yeah I think we take a QB in the portal.

He is the future QB1. To think this is his second year and will be a 3 year player -possibly a 2 year starter by his Jr season is a great thing to consider.
You bring in Nuss who is 6’4” lefty, LSU will be fine.

Still TBD, but let’s hope you’re right. A lot better for your NIL budget if you don’t have to go into the portal and get in a bidding war. Nuss is the current betting favorite for the Heisman and he doesn’t even crack the Top 12 in NIL.

Well he’s got to get to QB2 before he can get to QB1. And he needs to improve a ton. But if he does both of those things, then sure.

I'm gonna keep my eyes on the freshman qb at Cal. But yeah, I'm sure we will will take a qb in the portal! I like what we have but we need competition.
