QB Justin Lamson transferring to Stanford

I hate to say it but I would recruit 100% portal players. It doesn’t make sense to develop HA kids anymore
Not at SU, it is true, we will get poached more than a lot of P5 programs. I have no idea what the situation is with Lamson, however. The kid could think he is QB3 and wants to leave or decided he wants to play closer to home.
 
I really wish this kid stayed and our depth is disturbing.

But the belief without evidence in Lamson’s ability on this board seems off the charts.

Time will tell if it was correct.
Agree 100%. Looking good in the spring games is better than not looking good, but let's be honest that it's a level just above powder puff football with that format. I highly doubt NIL offers are pouring in based on that. I'm sure he wants to go to place where he thinks he has a better chance to start.

But PhatOrange also has a good point in why stick around all through spring? I realize you have to be confident in your ability to play at the Power 5 level, but It's not exactly a shock that Shrader has a solid hold on the #1 spot on the depth chart. Maybe he did fall behind CDRW?

Yeah he either fell behind or truly wants to go back out West, like you said, no one is throwing NIL at this kid, no offense to him whatsoever, he has not done anything to warrant that

The timing is crazy, hours before close. That kind of screws us.

We reading an article about the Michigan St QB, and it said he will have competition in the portal with the Nebraska, and Purdue QB's in the portal.

Not sure you can do 100 but I get what you're saying. Realistically up to 40 percent portal each class maybe? Either way it has to be a strategy in the recruiting office. Just staff dedicated to transferring and honestly watching spring games and connecting with their high school coaches. Who can make contact with the players.
 
I don’t understand why anyone is shocked. GS clear cut starter. So why sit around for another year? Kids want to play. Yeah I understand injuries can happen but still. If you’re good you want to play
Because other Big Boy teams (not Syracuse) usually have four quarterbacks. Not three quarterbacks and a tight end that “could” play quarterback. The portal is taking and not so much giving.
 
This was the one that I was worried would transfer. I doubt anyone QB of quality would want to transfer in and compete for the QB2 role. Sucks.
Look at how many QBs are in the portal, I am sure there are more quality players than there are available starting jobs, SU is far from the only school with an established QB1
I’m not doubting that SU will bring in a quarterback. I’m just not sure that he’ll be as good a fit as Lamson. Even though we’ve only seen him in Spring games, he’s shown glimpses of what he can do and he knows the system.

Sorry but if he was that good he would have solidified himself as the number 2 QB. He didn't, so the staff after watching him for 2 years didn't make the call for him to be the backup
Hope he finds a good landing spot, but he wasn't going to be a savior if Garrett gets hurt.

Dan Vilari may have earned some scout team reps in addition to playing TE.

This is what Arkansas basketball is doing. Solves two problems. Don't need to wait on someone to develop and you have someone who can't transfer without sitting out a year or dropping a level to play immediately.
 
This doesn’t look good; it could be that he sees his future playing time limited. Let’s hope we have a plan to refresh our QB room!
 
I gave up on pro sports on a slow slide over the last 25 years. College sports are going the same direction. It’s obvious I’m not their target audience for a fan.

Might want to jump back in then. At least in pro sports if you have a favorite player there’s a good chance you’ll watch them play on the same team for 3-4 years minimum.
