Nix is headed to Oregon

Maybe he just likes warm weather

He's from Hawaii. Hard to get direct flights from Orlando to Hawaii

If you are looking at a QB in portal, would you want a less-than-mobile QB with passing accuracy or a mobile QB that his most targets? Ridder has increased his accuracy tremendously each year and some missed throws may be on receiver getting route confused. Our system is set-up- for mobility at QB, but I am leaning toward putting more weight on accuracy.

Don't sleep on Lichtenberg. Kid has a rocket.

If you're talking about Richesson, I would expect him to redshirt to balance the classes out a bit. He's good enough where he doesn't need to but it makes sense for everyone to have that happen I think.

I would suspect that he does redshirt. My point is that our future may be wrapped up. I am not sure why a QB would take the portal to UC if they are not going to play. We have Mr. Ohio (Evan) and a future in Richesson.

Spencer Rattler to South Carolina

We also have the kid from Tennessee who was darn near perfect this past season.

Not sure I want him unless the coaching staff doesn't think Prater is ready... he's been around a few years and was a very highly rated recruit when we landed him. I'd be worried of him going into the portal if we bring someone else in to take his spot.

You can never have too many QBs ready and capable of stepping in. Prater is poised to take the starting role, but also hasn't had a lot of snaps. Competition is a good thing. If Slovis opted for UC over USC, I think our staff would have the conversation.

Now the portal is full of QB’s . Zach Calzada from A&M is now in the portal as well.

There is another QB in the portal that would be worth looking at if we're looking at a stop gap before Prater. Kedon Slovis at USC just went in to the portal yesterday. He's got 2 years left.

Rumors are flying that QB Bo Nix of Auburn could be grad transferring to UC. He's down to UC and UCF. You'd think he would be a better fit at UCF since Gus Malzahn was his coach for 3 years at Auburn.

I'm curious what everyone thinks about this. You've got Evan Prater back there who knows the offense already and Nix was very streaky at Auburn.

Here's his career stats:
