So both Mooney and Earle gone. That means QB1 Morris, QB2 Cash, and...?
In addition to Cash, we have two other freshman QBs on the roster, Tom von Grote and Drew Mestemaker. Neither of them look particularly polished (though von Grote looks very athletic on tape). Just briefly reviewing hudl vids for both, von Grote looks like the better fit for QB3. Mestemaker's arm is underwhelming. However, I doubt Morris wants to put them on the depth chart.
Ruder is still on the roster at linebacker. With the added depth at LB, I bet he gets put back to QB. That's still a frighteningly small and inexperienced QB room.
EDIT:
We also have Ashton Gray as a true freshman. He played QB in High School but the staff has him on the roster at RB, which is probably more appropriate for his skillset, but he could be a candidate for the QB room as well.
Oh, I don't know. I just felt at the time the decision was rushed and the candidate seems to have a strong aura of resume building. So, just more gut feeling than anything. I hope beyond hope to be 100% wrong...good thing I'm not responsible for any of it I reckon. Maybe I should only post pre-happy hour?
How about fall practice has not yet happened? I imagine they told him he had a shot to win the starting job to get him to back out of the portal before spring. They probably told him that Morris would be the starter going into fall and he didn’t like that. Seems like the staff may have just used him in order to have an experienced quarterback putting in good reps for the rest of the offense during spring practice. If true, pretty terrible thing to do a kid that could’ve been working towards winning the ACU job in the spring.
