Not surprising. The writing was on the wall when Ah Yat and now seemingly Huot passed him up on the depth chart. Good luck to the kid!
I think a lot of options are still available.Is this cause to get another QB to compete for the starting job or does it even affect the competition?
Is there enough time to get a QB transfer in before summer PRP's or do they go into fall camp with 4 QB's.
Vidlak had obviously slid into the 3rd or 4th spot so do they bring on another player to develop?
At the very least the new transfer rules have sure made the off season more interesting...
Not sure, but they did great last year. National Championship run. Just great. Probably more of the same this year.Who has been responsible for QB recruiting the last few years?
Not trying to start a war or anything, but we have had a better run than people give it credit for.Not sure, but they did great last year. National Championship run. Just great. Probably more of the same this year.
If I'm honest with you, I couldn't tell you how the flow goes. I know that we have a recruiting coordinator and analysts and coaches. If you want my honest belief, these guys are constantly watching film and passing it around when they see kids they like. It has gotten really easy for coaches to do that, and do it quickly. Justin Green has a big role in that realm, but I don't know the work flow.Just read your post after I submitted mine, Elrod. Very good, and detailed. Think of my post as the Cliff's Notes version...
Double edged sword. Sneed, Humphrey, Johnson, McDowell on one side, Brown, Vidlak on the other side. More pluses than negatives. Walk-aways on each. Just wondered who get credited or discredited.
That 5th has some real potential. Stud HS career, early success (always a good sign when young guys can play well against older guys), and his dad is a QB and offensive coordinator. The kid will come in ready to be a sponge.In my opinion Vidlak was a cerebral QB with not good instincts. He was a smart kid who could read the defense, and pick up the playbook fast which helped him excel into the starting spot last year in front of McDowell. But when things broke down or you're in a situation where you have to rely more on instinctive play rather than textbook play, he wasn't that good. I wish him the best and hope he finds a place to play. And because he enters the portal doesn't mean we need to go looking for another QB. We already have 4 and will have 5 come summer.
You thin right!Maybe he heads back to the Willamette Valley and to Western Oregon to play for the Wolves. Close to home so his family can watch him play. I thin WOU is DII?
