Awww, I don't know that one. Either way, this is a move to play sooner than later.AFCAT wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 8:00 pmWell, he was recruited to be a defensive back.catsrback76 wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 7:26 pmI think this is a calculated move based on a realization that playing QB at MSU is likely not going to happen in the foreseeable future because though we don’t know who the QB will be, those in the program are aware.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
There was no way Winterburn was going to be a QB at MSU. He was good, but just serviceable, as a AA QB. He was signed because of his athleticism, not his QB play. I can't fathom his entry to the transfer portal had anything to do with MSU's QB situation. If it did, he doesn't have a very good grasp on the team situation at MSU.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
I found this quote somewhat funny, being that you started a potential All American LB at QB last year. Maybe Winterburn thought he had a shot thereKittieKop wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 8:23 pmThere was no way Winterburn was going to be a QB at MSU. He was good, but just serviceable, as a AA QB.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
sorry, but I think it's honesty from the coaching staff. We have three quarterbacks behind Murray if Murray comes back and has improved his passing. That's if Andersen doesn't come back as quarterback. And two freshmen inbound that can play quarterback but probably won't.Grizaddict wrote: ↑Thu May 30, 2019 9:05 pmI found this quote somewhat funny, being that you started a potential All American LB at QB last year.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
Everyone ... get past the picture. Winterburn was recruited as a safety. Nothing changed, he was competing for playing time there. This has nothing to do with the QB battle.
I wish him all the best, wherever he goes.
GO CATS!!!

Would like to reiterate one more time, this has ZERO to do with any QB battle.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
Did you know that Kaleb played QB in high school? Did you know that half of the roster played QB in high school?
A deeper question...what IS a QB?

I thought he played Safety, and that is why we brought him in... At this point I have no clue what a QB is anymore.VimSince03 wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 8:55 amDid you know that Kaleb played QB in high school? Did you know that half of the roster played QB in high school?

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
I was just joking. I'm burnt out on QB debates. He was the definition of a gunslinger in high school who baled himself out with his athleticism. Completely worth a shot to try him at safety and potentially LB. Kaleb always reminded me of Quinn McQueary in terms of his playing style but Quinn had D-1 QB ability in terms of throwing the football and reading a defense. Its really too bad we didn't get to see him play at QB those final few years at MSU to ease the transition of a new coach.SACCAT wrote: ↑Fri May 31, 2019 9:07 amI thought he played Safety, and that is why we brought him in...

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
I'm a little surprised by this move, and a little bummed. I thought he was going to be the next starting S for MSU after this group graduates.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
May, Okoda, Campbell, or Anderson all were ahead of him on the depth chart. And true freshman like Eric Zambrano or Tyler Bohannon could see time at safety. It was going to be hard for Kaleb to break into that rotation.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
That really sucks about Cole, he was a really good corner. That one does kinda sting a little! Curious to hear the reason on Murray not being with the team. I personally figured this would be the senario since the day he was off the team. The team and offense are trending in a different direction.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
MSU’s sports information office confirmed Friday morning that Murray will not return to the Bobcats after missing the 2018 season due to academic suspension. An athletic department spokesman said Murray was unable to restore his eligibility during the 2018-19 academic year and has left the team.

Re: Players Gone From 2018 Team
Added Burgess to the list on page 1. Won’t be adding Murray since he wasn’t on the team last year either.
