Class of 2024 QB Brendan Zurbrugg (OH) Portal to Utah

[kcsu]

Not really. I hoped to be the @1 qb in this class and we turn around and get a 4 star days later. Good luck to him. Also good news for him, the other site just gave him 5 stars.

time will tell but this kid looked good. Oh well ill get to watch him when im in Evanston

 

[PhatOrange]

He was unrated at rivals. it will be interesting to see what he's rated now.

 

[CIL]

Liked his film and thought he could be a good QB at this level, especially in the right system.

Very tough to recruit B10 territory when a kid has other offers.

 

[JarHeadJim]

LOL.

God Bless people who make a living off of successfully landing 17-year olds.

I was a Marines recruiter from 1995-1998. Hated it.

I think he’s going to be good. It’s disappointing. Willams might be good too. We need a lot of good players in order to be the program we’d like to be, so this is a loss. Pat Fitzgerald will make a kid like this into a solid B10 player.

Then why commit here about a week ago after you already had a Northwestern offer?

I wish I knew.

 

[Goin' Deep]

I wish "Z" well BUT I don't like the way he backed off his CUSE commitment.
He said he felt comfortable at Syracuse. Said he wanted to play for the coaches.
We get a commitment from Jakhari and poof... I'm outta here.
No..."thank you to Coach Babers and Coach Beck..." After talking it over with my family... nothing.
"I'm flipping my commitment to Northwestern."
Classy...

I’m not hung up on it. He was a good prospect, but you can’t fault someone for leaving for a better chance at playing time.

 

[Cusester]

Not a good look for him, at all.

 

[orangefog]

I don't doubt that he says that he wants to be closer to home. But, it sure looks like he was fine with us bringing in another quarterback, so long as that quarterback wasn't better than him or ranked higher than him.

moving on...next man up

Will he tho? Fitz has been really bad the last two years.

Yeah I actually dont like the way he develops QB's. He's relied on transfers and they dont light it up when they get there. Ramsey was average during that 2020 covid season

Flips less than 24 hours after Williams commits. Tells you all you need to know.

Yeah I dont think there’s much need for speculation here. Wish him well.

 

[JKinUtah]

so long...we hardly knew ya

 

[djorange1989]

people dogging the kid, he probably saw all the QBs we were bringing in this month and felt pressured to commit on his visit even though the Northwestern offer he received right before his visit would keep him in Big 10 country, which is what he wants. Sucks, but it is what it is

Sounds like he doesn’t want to compete for the position.

 

[ottodaorange]

I'm not sure why this kid reneged on his commitment after a week, but it seems to scream that he doesn't want to compete against a higher ranked player. If this is the case, good riddance and we are lucky to have found this out early rather than later. Football is arguably the most competitive of sports.

 

[djorange1989]

yep, guy is a good coach for sure, but they have been bad the last two years, especially last year, losing back to back to Southern Illinois and Miami(OH). The ineptitude of arrogant Frost kept them from going 0-12. Worst offense this side of Iowa last year too.

 

[rackman18]

Probably has something to do with Williams' commitment.

You think, it probably is the main reason.

 

[TheHaze315]

As someone said above, it seems like he was all for us bringing in another QB (because if he wasn’t I doubt he commits in the first place) as long as that QB wasn’t a 4 star that is considered a better prospect than him.

 

[Cuse12]

Recruiting is wilddddd. If there was a QB to lose I would’ve rather lost this one instead of the kid from GA. Wish we had both but is what it is!

I'd rather have him do it now, than do what Sellers did, flip at the last minute, etc.
