Probably not. I don't know why they tried so hard to keep it under the radar.
I guess they were worried about Kincaide or maybe they thought they could land Braxton Miller. Who knows.

And Richard Cross is already excusing his awful behavior at Clemson. Here's the company line on Kelly, I **** you not. According to Cross, he wasn't on the proper ADHD medication at Clemson. That was the reason for all of his troubles. Now that he is on the proper meds, he splits his free time between leading Bible studies and Meals on Wheels.
Never mind that his issues started way before Clemson.

Braxton Miller will return to OSU because JT Barrett has domestic abuse problems

I've heard nothing out of Scooba other than he has been a model student athlete during his time there. Not surprising as ever since Stephens has been there I can't think of a player who had any off the field problems while at Scooba. Now after they leave is a different story.
I hate this signing.
But it's not my job on the line. I don't see him making it to Fall without at least one off-field issue.

You're not happy to have him as a "rebal"? Kelly's happy to be a "rebal"

He hasn't recieved the social media training at Ole Miss (that specifically mentions football players tweeting dumb stuff).
Chad Kelly ain't come to play school.

Not that I believe that excuse, but wouldn't that excuse also apply to everything before his issues at Clemson? As in, if he wasn't on it yet at Clemson, he wouldn't have been on it before, therefore all previous events stemming from that issue.
Again, it's a crap excuse. He's a head case, and the next two years depend on whether Freeze can keep him under control.

There have been plenty (Pat Patterson comes to mind, for one), Buddy and his staff just know how to handle them appropriately.
My theory ...
They are trying to 'downplay' the 'we got a QB' hype before signing day in the hopes to ever sign a HS QB some day in the future.

...but if you look at it as an 18 year old who likes to party, that waste of time is a big selling point. i mean, really, what 18 year old isn't going to just go crazy for the chance to party with katy perry. #dontblink
I forgot about old Pat Patterson. He's the only one I remember getting kicked off the team during the season. But as you said, Buddy Stephens does a good job of handling any malcontents while they are there. Part of it really is the location. I went EMCC and there is no trouble to get into. Not since they stopped letting the students party at the crossroads anyway. Surely there are some emcc alumni on here who remember the crossroads.
Why? The type that signs with OM should only be concerned with walking through the Holy Grove every home weekend....that is good enough for them...Best College Gameday in America!!!!!*
A few years ago, there was also a couple of guys that got popped with weed (and maybe for petty theft, I really don't remember) during summer or preseason camp that were shown the door. To Buddy's credit, he eliminates these problems quietly and effectively. I think the way he keeps most of the randier lads in line is by making sure they realize this is the last house on the block for their football careers; that probably gets their attention (if it can be gotten).
Looking at his video, he seems to have a pretty good arm-probably as good or better than Wallace. If we give him as much time as we gave Wallace, we'll probably be in trouble again.
Buddy Stephens (emcc coach) said Bo's arm is stronger, but that chad can get the ball where it needs to be (words not exact)
Explain. If you fail to do this, stop posting about it and just let this guy enjoy his second chance at FBS football.
I have to admit it's getting a little weird at this point, especially because the period spans now 3 different head coaches, but we've had one game in the last 9 seasons started by a QB that signed with Ole Miss out of high school. That said, I can't say that many of the transfers were bad moves, or that it's done anything to hurt us.
If Schaeffer or Masoli had been signed to play in either a Hugh Freeze or Dan Mullen style read option offense, they'd have both been wildly successful. Masoli still was pretty impressive playing in an offense that didn't fit, for a coach that didn't know how to use him. He was just on a crap team. Snead was very good, even playing for the "QB Killa" as they call him in Fayetteville. He went 18-8 as a starter, and he had 46 TDs in two seasons, though he did throw too many picks his second year. Bo was very successful obviously, winning now 24 games in 3 seasons and taking the team to 3 bowls while accounting for 82 total TDs.
Outside of 2011, where three transfer QBs all sucked, the transfers we've had have all been pretty good players, and were probably better than the lottery that is "developing" a QB. The majority of them were certainly better than the 3 high school recruited and developed QBs that we had starting in 2004 and 2005 (Spurlock, Lane, Flatt), and those guys were "developed" by the QB guru himself, David Cutcliffe. I know we'll have an open competition this spring, but I'd probably put my money on Kelly to win that competition, and that's fine with me. If he does, it means we will win more games than we would've won had we not signed him, and that's the goal.
Best i could do in 10 minutes

I guess we'll see. I'm just glad we have 3 QBs to compete for the starting job next year instead of 2.
I want at least one of them to work out, don't care which one, and that's 1 more than we had a couple days ago. We should have a really good team everywhere else on the field next year. We just need a QB to step up for us.
But yes, QB can be a crap-shoot of a position, so I prefer as many options as possible. Let the losers transfer if they wish, and recruit the next crop.
