Torres gone.

Not a surprise. Good QB I think but wrong fit for Rhule's offense. Likely told just that in his post-Spring conversation with the coaches.
Possibly makes it more likely that Smothers or Purdy stay. Also makes it more likely that we take a QB this cycle even if we miss out on DR. I think we need 5 scholarship QBs on the roster.
I still think Smothers is a possible retiree from football
the rehab he's been entrenched in for 2 straight offseasons is tedious, brutal & thankless, and now he's way behind in a new system
if he wants to coach, he's in the right place to earn an advanced degree or two while learning from a knowledgable staff
agree on a QB this cycle
I believe we will be hearing very good things about him as a QB somewhere. I also believe he will be drafted by some NFL team in the future. His leaving suggests to me that Rhule wants a true dual QB leading the offense.
I could see him returning to texas and having a prolific career in a pass-first sun belt offense (UTEP, Texas St, UTSA, etc.)
I'll just go ahead and throw this out there since we are talking possible QB recruits.
Could possibly do well in a Power 5 like a Texas Tech.
Victor Jones, no idea how good he was/wasn't, but another FL recruit strikeout by Frost.
wasn’t Jones listed as an athlete coming out of high school? That usually means safety to me. Not sure if he had the speed or size we needed.
I was just talking to my co-worker how I really miss The League and how awesome of a show it was.
SmokinOnly had offers from a few lower level P5 programs & a bunch of G5 programs. He was probably a reach by Frost & Co.
Sometimes the reach is based on the kid’s want to and not on his physical talent. Hopefully he finds a good spot if he wants to play. Most of the guys who are going to leave have known for a while that they’re on the bubble.
I would say development is more blame than recruiting. It's mind boggling how bad they were at developing.
I don't think so. If he did not miss more than half his senior year, he would have put up stats that would have increased his desirability as a recruit.
Good luck to Torres. I thought he looked like he had potential in the Spring game. If Purdy and Haarberg stick around, hopefully they will use their time backing up Sims and Thompson polishing up their passing.
Still no new offers and most of the quality HS QB's will sign by the time Raiola makes it official. Maybe they can flip a guy like Dante Reno late, but I'm not counting on it.
