Cam Rising is on the transfer portal...

[Fug 540]

TFB posted a picture, looks like he’s gone

[cdain3 3454]

WTF

[Walden Ponderer 12639]

Fuck. Hopefully this means the chatter about CT getting more development because of scout team work wasn't just bloviation.

[Patrick Bateman 3903]

Do your own work next time..... It's not hard.

And yes, with Sam probably a no doubt starter for 2 years, he probably wants to go somewhere with a better chance of starting.  This is the new era of college football.  Imagine what happens when they get rid of sitting out a year.

 

[DefinitelyNotHollywoodColt 12301]

Is that bad? That seems bad.

[satyanash 14281]

Wasn't Casey Thompson rumoured to want out as well? What's the situation there?

[Radical Larry 28529]

Shouldn’t be a surprise that one of the redshirts would transfer. If Shane stays, it shouldn’t be a problem with Casey as QB3 and Roschon redshirting.

[TexasMan 10786]

It was to be expected that Rising or Thompson would do this. With Roschon Johnson coming in this year and Hudson Card next year, that QB room is getting pretty filled. He probably won't be the last QB to transfer this year year either. 

[SDG 3319]

Maybe Shane isn't transferring?  Mike Leach should be on line one.  

[Slacks 6791]

Damn. What is it with young QBs? Dude has 4 years left. Everybody can't start all 4 years... go win the job, or work to win it...

Having said that, I never thought he was a match for the system...

[texifornia 56526]

Funny that it's Rising, the guy who was QB3 instead of scout team, that wants out. Too bad, kid's got a whole bunch of potential.

[Levi 2576]

It’s likely that it’s Shane that’s causing the ruffle but not intentionally. He might not want to transfer and as long that’s the case then rising will be 3 for another year instead of 2. 

[thepop 4409]

I wouldn’t want to sit out two years either, I get it. In a perfect world everyone would be content waiting their turn but it doesn’t work like that. 

 

On on the bright side, fortunately Roschon is enrolling early.

[ApocalypseTexas 297]

Makes me think Shane is staying be here two more years.  I feel pretty good about having Sam and Shane for the next two years

[CastHorn 794]

Casey is capable of being just as good while also being dynamic, he was more impressive in the spring game. This hurts though, less depth and competition. Cam is also a really good dude, he was a person a team can rally around.

I would've at least gone to the Sugar Bowl with my team. They get lots of free shit there.

Really? Shane has been a class act but he's a terrible fit for this offense unless of course the O-line improves by leaps and bounds next season.

[TexArcher 37519]

Damn.  Was looking forward to seeing him at DKR someday, but can't blame him if he doesn't want to ride the bench for that long.

[USMCHorn 1369]

Is Shane a junior? Shit I forgot.

[Nope 3111]

Wonder if he ends up at USC being a Cali guy...but he’d have to sit behind Daniels just like Sam here.

[T’Boo Ted Marshall 2724]

I figured it would be Thompson out first. Could CR not overtake Shane for QB2?

[4th and 5 4914]

This has to mean Shane isn’t leaving.

[Ghost of Shag 2582]

Watching how coaches handle quarterbacks today is fascinating.

Consider Georgia, where a freshman Jake Fromm takes his team to the national championship and loses on the last play, but has to look over his shoulder the following year because of a true freshman who fans are clamoring to get on the field.

Or Alabama, Where a junior who has lost three games in his time there is replaced by a sophomore.

I would not want any part of managing a quarterback room nowadays. The entitlement among that group has to be incredible.

Also, if we think Shane is a viable replacement for Sam, we don’t have quite the quarterback depth we wish we did.

[Machinator 32097]

It's hard to keep more than 3 P5-quality QBs on the roster. And even 3 might be generous.

[gmr548 16516]

Hmm. There was always gonna be a logjam at the position with Rising and Thompson in the same class and stuck behind Sam. I figured we'd see one of them transfer or two after Ehlinger left and there was a competition between those two and Johnson. Also interesting is that this would seem to put the Buchele transfer question to bed - I'd think the inside track to QB2, which in turn is the inside track to QB1 in 2021 (or earlier if Ehlinger gets injured) would be enough to keep Rising here as opposed to burning a year of eligibility sitting out or at a JUCO. If Buchele isn't leaving and is holding onto that backup spot, that changes the calculus a bit. Wasted year of eligibility either way in that case.

Another angle - Rising is the more traditional pocket passer between he and Thompson, yes? Maybe seeing up close and personal what the QB position is asked to to in the running game in this offense made him think he wasn't a fit or would be better off elsewhere, especially with Thompson and especially Johnson being more talented runners.

May not be popular but I don’t like needing a running QB yo run this offense. Too many chances for injuries like we’ve seen.

Tom Herman didn't enjoy running Ehlinger as much as he had to this season.

But the defense accounting for the run is what makes it lethal if done right. I'd rather do this than an Air Raid sort of thing that falls apart against good secondaries, or a Jimbo-style old-school slow slog.

I'm with you 100 percent. The way Ehlinger is used is even harder on the body - more Tebow or Klien than Vick or Young. Perhaps Rising thought the same thing.

 

Ideally, the OL and RB groups continue to progress so QB runs can be used more selectively.

Rising had to know that coming in though. Herman’s body of work with QB’s would have shown that.

I digress. Apologies for derailing.

At the time Rising committed and even when he signed, he probably didn't think Sam had a vicegrip on the starting job.

[Hook1997 5289]

This sucks, I think he’s going to be really good somewhere and would of fit in Herman’s offense great.

If Rising thought the same thing, he'd also know that he'd have opportunity for significant playing time next year even if he wasn't the starter. Sam is as durable as they come and he's still had to miss injury time.

[ztejas 43266]

Rising had Roschon listed as a 5 star. He has a poster of RJ in his closet and wanted to give the kid some space when he shows up in the Spring.

[GotThatFire 166]

He going to OU?

Danny's just reporting what Herman said at the press conference. Tom was asked point-blank if he expected to lose any QBs, and he said no.

Edited December 22, 2018 by Machinator

Fields hasn't transferred anywhere yet.

[Levi 2576]

I honestly thought rising would beat Shane out for QB2 next year. Maybe that wasn’t looking like the case.

Would anyone really be surprised if Sam decided to come back for his senior year?

I thought everyone assumed Rising would be QB2 with significant playing time whether Shane stayed or not. Seems weird.
