McHugh has entered portal.
Going to maybe need another QB or promote Estep to Scholarship.

Bringing in the Texas kid all but sealed it. “The future is now”

That's the motto or should be the motto every year

It became obvious last year,as I stated then , you build a roster anew each season.

Agreed..very true even more these days in a world of free agency.

Sorry to hear this. I had heard that he might have been the best passer on the roster but not as mobile. Hope he ends up somewhere that his skills fit the plan better.

Our coaches have done several things right but we have struggled in getting good QBs out out of high school so I hope that is something we see improvement on going forward. If we can get a player like Aguilar out of high school then that will be huge in helping us avoid having to dip into the portal for one.

Maybe standards get in the way sometimes?

Just to play devil's advocate a bit, we did have a QB like Joey out of high school who was the opening starter but he broke his finger and missed the year. We missed on QBs to follow Zac Thomas but I wouldn't call Burger a miss in the same sense. More of an unfortunate circumstance that worked out for us. However, I do agree it puts a lot of pressure on us to find a HS QB who can development now.

Didn't we sign a QB in the most recent class that Ponce is high on?

We signed the kid out of Rock Hill but I wouldn’t count on him being ready.

Wright (Texas kid) has 2 and Wilson is here in Spring ball. You also Mehan committee as of now for 2025. After watching the backups a couple of weeks ago, let’s hope Joey stays healthy.

Mahan Decommits and is offered by Wake right after. All our marbles in Joeys basket!

Williams HS probably a better fit at Wake…

Mahan wouldn’t be here until Joey is gone.

By my count, we have three scholarships still open.

WR: Horn, Robinson, Jackson, Stroman, Hetzel, Lawson, Tucker, Fowles, Baret, Leon, Gee
TEs: Wilson, Larkins, Hamlett, Drag, Kelly
OL: Samuel, Ramsey, Murphy, Gentry, Shrader, Marotta, Ridolph, Scroggs, Hollifield, Doege, Sweatt, Sowell, Funk, Barbrey
DL: Kelly, Abrams-Verwayne, Fletcher, Clark, Collins, Wyatt, Hopper, Mebane, Bussey, Farmer, Cooper
ILB: Arnholt, Sullivan, Gooch, Farrar, Bethea, Haynes, McInnis
Star: Harrington, Thomas, Cole, Fernandes
Dog: Davis, Johnson, Rosier
CB: Robertson, Alan-Yowe, Johnson, Chambers, Philyaw, Porter, Sanders
Safeties: Clarke, Farmer, Favors, Burks, Phares, Gamble, Neal, Lenhardt, Taylor
ST: Hughes, Johnstone Lake

I was shopping for defensive linemen yesterday and noticed we had recently made offers to these two:

Like Clemson Billy Wiles?! Clemson to Boone connection.

He played well against us last year. Former starter, I like it. Nicely fills the void left by the Texas kid.

Honestly, with his experience, probably an upgrade.

GO APPS!!

That’s how I look at it. For what we needed in the role as QB2 this year, I’m not sure that we could have done better.

I’m hopeful.

I realize that his stats aren’t great, but you have to consider what he was playing with. Something else to think about is that he walked on to the Clemson team and earned a scholarship. That says a lot about him.
