McDowell to the Portal

I feel like this is a decision the coaches made. Yesterday in his Instagram post, he made it sound like it was all but a done deal that he was coming back next year. That makes me wonder if they’re ready to anoint Ah Yat or if they’ve got their eye on somebody else

Griz QB enters the portal. Heard this might be connected with another possible move , waiting to confirm

That’s……ominous

Depends how he meant it….

Connected to a big name QB the Griz landed who will take the reigns so Cliff said no thanks

Or

Connected to a coach/OC moving up to FBS and bringing Cliff with

Or

Connected to him and another player joining an FBS team for NIL deals

Who knows!
 
Interesting comment by Junior. Right at this moment, I'm sick to my stomach.

Ah Yat is the future for you guys. McDowell had a hell of a run but teams got more film on him in the playoffs and he struggled. If you don't bring in another transfer you can cut it loose with Ah Yat and be probably better throwing the ball. Still though, McDowell had a nice year and certainly a memorable one for your program.
 
Uggh. I fear it's less about a QB coming in and more about a coach going out. But who the hell knows anymore.

Cliffton, thanks for being a great Grizzly.
 
I find it hard to believe something was up during the game, if there was, Ah Yat should’ve been put in sometime during the 3rd quarter.
How many teams will this be for McDowell?

That sucks...I dislike the Portal....

It gives and it takes. It’s how we got Cliff to begin with. And Riley Wilson. And Racanelli. And Harris. And Panfiloff. And Ronald Jackson. And Vidlak. And Childs. And Walker. And Forbes. And Hustedt. And Glasgow. And mata’afa. And more.
 
I posted on another thread that Griz Nation has to brace itself and prepare to lose some studs to the portal. We are the minor leagues to FBS now and these kids aren’t going to pass up big NIL money. If you’re not bracing yourselves, you’re going to be mad or caught off guard. Cliff won’t be the last one. We will also get some studs in the portal like we have already.

I don’t see McDowell being a dawg at either Washington or Georgia,
 
Twitter sleuths....find out any portal QB's Keaton is following and you might solve the mystery

I don't thing he is referring to those teams. Just one of the things they call each other.
 
One way or another, we will be fine. We are deeper than ever all over. This recruiting class is the highest ranked at On3 since any class since Hauck came back.
 
Maybe he just wants to be closer to home. Just played in Texas, so maybe some south school like Bayler wants him.

Thats what I’m worried about. Just got things rolling again, and I now have this terrible feeling that we’re going to lose both some coaches and players

He is a good FCS quarterback. He is not a FBS quarterback. He might get a lower level FCS offer, but i don't see him as a Power 5 quarterback. I really enjoyed what he contributed to the program. He has a moxie that the team needed at that time. He did have some limitations, but we would not have been in Frisco last week without him.
