Title: I have read elsewhere that Hooker might have another year of eligibility
Post by: BanditVol on September 28, 2021, 06:59:17 EDT
If so, I am glad.

He is not a long term solution, but with Bailey likely to enter the portal and not looking so great so far, and Milton as our other options, that has to be a good thing.

In the meantime if we get the 4* I have heard Heupel is going after and/or continue to work the portal, we can enter 2022 with a veteran option at QB while giving the younger guys a chance to win the job.  That would be ideal.

Regardless, hope Hendon (and Mays!) can go this weekend.

"Uncle Austin" threw water on Cooper's status that last night in the VQ chat

At least his replacement will get some more reps.  Maybe we at least eliminate the bad snaps.

The problem is the B/Us for Carvin aren't good
We saw that in spades Saturday night

It's been posted several times here that Hooker has this year and one more.

Never saw it, but thanks for confirming.

I'm very glad to hear Hooker has another year, but very disturbed we are lacking in the OL department.

Maybe we can find some in the portal in the off season.

Isn't that just one more reason making it to a Bowl is so critical??? - it's gotta help tons in the portal view of things, and absolutely key in general recruiting, of course.  we just gotta win 6, and it just sux how much in doubt that is.

Agree...we need this win Saturday in the worse way.  A win on the road against Mizzou and we are, maybe not a lock, but a big favorite to make a bowl.   :nod:

Yep. Pitt was the cushion. Mizzou is the remaining margin of error.
