To be fair, couldn’t choosing one also chase other away? Maybe not O if we go with Kean but I wouldnt be surprise to see Kean transfer if O gets the job. I think Barnett is just here to see how this goes and start his post college life. Maybe he gives us a flash of what everyone saw in high school.

I dont have a problem with it, especially since he has two years, if people are afraid of competition then they are probably not qb1...see Woulard....another arm cant hurt

If bringing him in runs off Kean or Oladokun, they neither of those guys was ever going take us anywhere.

Imagine saying that about Flowers, who apparently was very close to transferring.

Leaving, I don’t see as a problem. While he’s here, he helps us. If he leaves, he’s a junor or senior. It’s a two year commitment. No impact describes most of the QBs who’ve taken a scholarship in our football history. If bringing him in runs off Kean or Oladokun, they neither of those guys was ever going take us anywhere.

I'd rather spend the spot developing a young player than tie up the roster spot. Walking away from two programs when things don't go your way is a big red flag, especially for a QB. Strong and company see the physical tools but all the evidence points to this kid lacking the mental make up to play QB at the college level. That 5 star rating and elite 11 were forever ago in football years.

Apparently? 

If, and that’s a big if, he was contemplating it, it was because of the system not bringing in a transfer.

QB that has transferred from two different schools...has this ever been successful? I can’t recall an example.

Maybe more along the lines of getting his redshirt burned for nothing. I’m not saying it was right for him to transfer at all, but it definitely seems like it was a possibility. If that would have happened, USF could have had arguable the greatest player in school history slip away.
