Great research and write up @Brett Vito! Neat storyline on the most intriguing position group on the team. Love seeing Ruder’s approach to getting here, getting settled, and getting straight to work with off-season training and call camp. Looking forward to seeing how this race shakes out, and grateful that we have three first-class young men wearing the Mean Green uniform.

I would agree.  Also, marriage doesn't equate maturity.

I remember the QB we had a few years ago that was very promising under I believe Josh Greer that had gotten a girl pregnant and it impacted his ability to excel. He didn't come back the following year.

That's the reason he was a statue and had a noodle arm?

Yep, Dajon Williams.  I don't know if that affected his ability to excel, but I remember an episode of Beyond the Green where they were talking about how much more mature he would naturally be because he knocked up his girlfriend. 🙄

I guess next year we roll out an all-new, all-star QB group on their walkers?

Kidding aside. A married man can be a dangerous tool if he has NFL money making potential.

Or it can be a dud once their focus has to shift to a lucrative career of managing an Arby's to afford diapers. Cause that craps is expensive.

I remember the child’s birth was the reason he was not active for the Texas game where Greer and McNulty combined to go 3 of 17 for 15 yards and 4 picks. The absolute worst quarterback showing I have ever seen at any level.

I don't normally respond to my own messages, but the poor guy who just eye-rolled this, you are going to have a very (VERY) interesting love life. My condolences to your soon to be destroyed sense of masculinity, may god have mercy on your soul.

Wow, really?  That's a stretch.  Learn a sense of humor, or the intrawebz is going to cause you heart issues.

      OT, but how does this percentage still so high? Graduating college has been pushed so freaking hard, going back to the Boomers, that you would think this number would be much less than 20%. 20+ years ago, when I was finishing HS, it was the de-facto, this-is-just-what-you-do endeavor. And I was not even a Boomer. So how are we still seeing so many first gen college graduates?

      New commit Creighton transfer post Brock Vice

      This is an interesting pickup for us. This guy doesn’t conform to the typical transfer profile that we should be focusing on: highly productive player at a low-major/D2 or a formerly productive player at high-major/mid-major who needs a change of scenery. Brock Vice has played ZERO real college basketball. But finding a player who can be productive for us at the center position is going to take some creativity. Need to replace Tylor Perry or Jason Edwards? Not fun, but there are LOTS of fast young men 5’9 or taller who can dribble and shoot that the marketplace has undervalued. Ross Hodge can take his pick. There just aren’t very many 18-24 year-old humans who are 6’9 or taller. And the marketplace places a very high price on those who are that tall AND possess any degree of athleticism or basketball skill. Which brings us back to Brock Vice, who redshirted on a VERY good Creighton team that finished 25-10 last season (second-place in the Big East). The starting center on that team was Ryan Kalkbrenner, a 7’1 monster who averaged 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocked shots a game. His backup also put up good numbers in very limited minutes. So Vice hasn’t been a productive college player yet, but atleast he has a good excuse. With both players in front of him on the depth chart eligible to come back to Creighton next season, Vice needs a change of scenery to get his oversized sneakers on the court. He’s 6-10. Can rebound AND shoot. Was an outstanding high school and AAU basketball player. And has enough meat on his bones and athleticism to have been a standout high school football player. This is exactly the kind of kid that Ross should be landing. We did not have a player like this guy on our team last season and it hurt us all year. Welcome to Denton!

      Why would a big brand like this invest so heavily in one school? College sports are so tribal and FedEx wants to serve everyone. Now I am LESS likely to use FedEx.

      Breanna Davis not coming back. She has landed at Abilene Christian. As far as I know, Jaaucklyn Moore is coming back.
