JJ's replacement -- from Stanford?

[JDoub]

Alpha's site says Dallas Lloyd is transferring from Stanford to the griz ........... a returned Mormon missionary from Utah ........... could represent the new face of Montana football (ya know, more like BYU than Penn State?) ............ interesting
Stanford does have 8 QB's on their roster today


or they say maybe it's another QB -- Trevor Wooden from Missouri State, a QB turned WR turned back into a QB, who was dismissed in May for "violation of team rules"
............ that would be a statement on the other end of the character spectrum ..............


or maybe it's just wishful thinking all the way around? I dunno

According to the Granolian there is no drop down coming....????
So many beople seem to be "in the know" when in fact they don't know squat.

Ya... talk about a massive clusterfudge in Missoula... even my Griz fan buddies are just completely sick and tired of all the BS. Like my buddy said last night... "Wake me up just before kickoff of our first game."

From all the legal stuff, investigations, etc... and now you have all sorts of rumors about who is coming, who is not, who is on the team, who is not... blah blah blah.

All I can say is, I'm guessing the Griz already have a QB on their roster that is better than a 5th string QB from Stanford? Maybe not.

They've also been throwing around the name of another Stanford QB - Robbie Picazo.

JJ obviously had the starting job if he was on the squad, but I would think that they do have some talented backups already on the team. If DM were to get hurt, I think that we have some very talented backups.

With Luck leaving Stanford for the NFL why would any of the QB's from Stanford be looking to transfer.

Math

8 QB's all underclassmen

depth chart goes to 3, maybe 4

1 plays, maybe 2

that leaves 5 QB's that will likely never take a game snap, despite being talented and putting in 5 years of hard work -- motive to transfer

I thought you were going to say Math, like the subject. I'd say Math, History, Accounting, English, pretty much anything else. By all accounts, Stanford is hard. Turns out UM is not.

But for backups, they were not in a very good position to start with. They lost Kemp and Montana this offseason. That leaves them with Smithwick-Haan and Monte.

If they have any sense about them they will not transfer. I think a stronger motivation is this, especially if Standford is paying for the education: Upon graduation and entering the job market, would your prospecitve employers rather see U of M on your degree or Stanford. Not trying to smack U of M, but rather, Stanford is among the best anywhere.

agreed

but not everyone is as sensible as Brian Morris -- I imagine some 19 yr olds think only of playing time, and possible exposure so as to play football professionally someday -- in which case, maybe not deserving of a Stanford diploma!




well, maybe bad example as Brian started for Stanford his JR and SR years and was all Pac-10 -- but he chose Stanford Law over the NFL, on a NCAA post-grad schlorship


And I did mention that Lloyd is a returning Mormon missionary? So sense is ........ oh nevermind, don't want to get in trouble here ..........

As a Cat fan, I really hope that Kemp is the starter because well...he sucks.

[bobcatbob]

Why would a Mormon going to Stanford transfer to UM now with the future of the program up in the air? Would you give up a Stanford education for that?

Kemp is gone, is he not?

just suspended. Probably available as soon as it's lifted, with current events, is sooner rather than later. IMO.

Maybe he wants to play. Not sure how reliable it is but he is listed as 5th on the depth chart according to Phil Steele.

He's suspended, but I don't think it looks very good. Last I heard it was the NCAA forcing Delaney's hand in suspending him. I have some eligility left, let me go play. It'll be the best thing that ever happened to Bobcat football.

Kemp, from what I hear, is reinstated. He's expected to be at camp. Not sure if he'll face any regular season game suspension. It's my understanding the team implemented a no twitter rule that he didn't want to follow, and it sounds like he's agreed to stay off social media.

That's good news for them. Regardless of whether he's a good QB or not, and regardless of whether he knows the new system or not, he has experience under center, in that stadium, in that uniform, etc. That will give a lot of stability at that position, which is half the battle, IMO.

Rachac just posted an article on this. He doesn't seem to think Kemp is the guy.

I'm surprised no one posted this yet, but it appears they're getting a drop-down from Stanford after all:
