2012 presumably... how would a "2013" recruit be eligible to play this season?


This makes sense. Would hate to give up a 2013 spot when we've already got 2 good ones.

It doesn't. Bolden will be a senior in 2013 when Rettig and Jennings are true freshmen. We can only assume both would redshirt in 2013 anyway.


Cool thanks

Dude it doesn't. He will be a RS Sophomore I believe. so he's Mettenbergers replacement. I think this is a sign that Rivers and Randall aren't developing as well as the coaches hoped for. The 2 QB's coming in will still be here. Chill. Tired of people worrying about these Rettig and Jennings.

Would hope Krags could get the others up to speed. Glad to have him despite his career at PSU. Honestly makes me nervous.

He'll be an incoming junior with two years to play two. He's an insurance policy behind Mett, that's it. The coaches aren't comfortable enough with Rivers at this point for him to be the primary backup heading into this season.

Right. BUT are you sure he'll be a junior because he was 2010 recruit + RS = RS sophomore

ETA: He started as a true freshman in 2010. He's never redshirted.

Does he count for 2012 or 2013


if I understand correctly he'll count in 2012 as long as there's room under the 25/85.

No one knows what's going on behind the scenes.

Either Randall/Rivers could have academic problems, or les just doesn't feel comfortable having another Freshmen take over if Mett goes down.

This is purely a depth move, and I'm fine with it.

Yep. About what I figured..

Also, Krags made it a priority to inform Rettig and Jennings about this before they even considered getting in touch with Bolden.

Don't worry about them, they know that they won't be competing against Bolden

Nice post If Les is worried about the back ups then this is a no brainer

Bolden is a beast in NCAA 2011 the game.

How can the number 2 dual threat qb in 2010 be worse then JJ? Seriously. JJ was NEVER a dual threat qb.
