I prefer Phish

What about

Ghoti​

Gotta imagine we kick the tires on this.

Yeah, he was a QB when Lovie Smith was the coach. Assuming he’s looking for another chance behind center.

 

[Symphony Steve]

6-4, considered the fastest player on the team. Made some big plays this year as a RF after switching from QB to WR. We had offered, looks like it came down to Duke & the Illini.

I'd make this guy a portal priority, and give him a chance to compete at QB. Although...we also really need someone to take the top off of defenses.

Hmmm

If he is willing to remain a WR then hell yeah we gotta go after him. Need a portal QB who can push GS not sure this kid would be that QB right away at least

We could corner the transfer market in this.

Clarence Beaks is our talent scout.

If he couldn't beat out Buttgers transfer Sitkowski, whose throwing skills make GS look like Tom Brady, than no thanks...unless he comes as a WR.

So they would get our former starting QB, and we would get their deep threat, speedy WR?

That’s a helluva a “player to be named later” for us.

Make it happen, Dino!

Also - having a WR who used to be a QB could make for some very fun trickeration.

They've proven that can be a fun wrinkle with Butler back in the day.

At 6-4 195 and one of the fastest kids on their team I'd probably kick the tires here. Only had 5 catches but he averaged 24.5 yards per catch and 2 of them went for TDs. Could maybe be the deep threat we're sorely missing.

Competition still chasing ‘Big Play’ Deuce Spann

CHAMPAIGN (WCIA) — Deuce Spann has a new nickname and through the first three games of the season, he’s more than living up to it. “They call me big place Deuce,” says the s…

[All4SU]

If he came to SU, would we become Double Deuce?

 

[Franz69]

The Deuce...Is Loose.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Would his incomplete passes be called "dropped deuces"?

 

[Ozone!]

Would allow us to use trick plays where the WR has that skills set! Offering him as athlete and see where he best develops .

 

[PAcuse]

What is the limit to Dueces on a team?

 

[JRHEETER]

The important question here is, is he trying to be a QB again or does he want to be a WR now?

 

[Ernj]

Two???

 

[Toga]

Drop Deuce a line.

We’ve already dropped enough deuces on the field the last few season.

Sounds like Kevin Johnson’s stats in 1996, the year before he broke out.

 

[PhatOrange]

If he wants to throw the ball again I'd be surprised if it's at the P5 level. He redshirted under Lovie Smith and then Bielema moved him to WR during summer camp. Probably a reason for that.
