LOL

 

Larkin is officially a douchebag in my book now. I was inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt while he was making his own case, but when he veers off into other players' waters, he's way outta line.

If Barnett domes, so be it. We'll get a pop from some of the (P5, baby!) publicity, and it'll make everyone work harder. Like BfiTX said, we should always recruit someone to take each player's job. If you can't hold on to your job, shame on you.

Barnett, a former top recruit, is transferring to South Florida. USF has really been the only school mentioned for the former star QB recruit since he announced he was leaving the Sun Devils’ program. And now they’ve landed him.

Wow.  This really takes the "pop" off my potential official visit this week.

Another QB, that's great. It's a long season.

Hope we have an O-Line that can block.

I've spent a lot of time reading about this kid and honestly based upon his own words, it sounds like he landed at AL as a grade A premadonna amd was humbled by Saban.. funny enough, Saban has done the same thing to Hurts he did to this kid....

Sounds like ASU is where is found humility and hopefully USF will be where is finds a home and family.... 

Best man plays... I hope the best for the kid who looks like he grew up

[chapelbull]

Maybe the AAC is right where he belongs

[Bulls On Parade]

Should make Kean and Chris O. battle harder.  If anything we have more qb depth now.

How soon we forget the gunslinger who cost Randy Shannon his job ...

Bobby Eveld? I guess. He started all of 7 games over the course of 4 seasons. Mike White was the starter for almost a full season. 

Most of our success has come with Dual Threat QBs but this offense seems to prefer a Pro Style guy.

Yet, as you said, our success last year with that Pro Style was because of the dual threat QB.
