So who starts game one next year- DT or Brock?

Guy was not a lock to start for Scottsdale. We did not just pick up Football Jesus. Just a pretty highly thought of 3 star that so far has yet to prove his potential.

Sounds like he'll probably only have 2 years starting next fall. So we ultimately see him for one season after DT graduates? Though I expect this kid did not come here expecting to sit next year, I have a hard time believing he'll be able to beat out DT. We still need to land another good QB in the upcoming class.

Shouldn't he have 4 years left to play 3?

Is no one concerned that he couldn't win a cc starting job or that he didn't even want to compete for it?! Smacks of a guy who feels entitled. It may not be popular opinion but I'm not sure about this guy.

He has at a minimum 3 to play 3... He might have 4 to play 3 but it sort of depends. Remember the issue with him going to JC was he would not have been eligible to play immediately at a 4 year because of transfer rules. Knowing that he was in a battle at JC he probably decided go ahead get to Denton and practice with the team to be prepared for the Spring training. After leaving Kansas he has to either sit out or go to a juco. If I was to guess I would say he has 3 to play 3.

It is confusing partially because he graduated high school in December. Surely, spring training isn't considered a year and last season another year. Last season was further complicated by the fact that Charlie Weis wouldn't release him as he did the former starter. And, I don't see how a few weeks of JC can cost another season of eligibility when he enrolled here the same semester. My unguaranteed prediction is that he has 4 to play 3.

This is why this excites me. I've always thought that if you get one or two really solid guys to buy-in, it makes it easier to bring in several more because you can sell the "be a part of something special" bit and have something to point to as proof. I don't know whether or not this guy is that piece, but it sounds good, and for that, my Mean Green pants are a little tighter today.

Brock's signing caused you to gain weight or did you wash your Mean Green pants in hot water and they shrank?

If he has 3 to play 3, does that include this year that he has to sit out? I would think it is 3 to play 3 after this year? You have 5 to play 4, right? He didn't play first year at Kansas, then sitting out this year. That leaves 3 more years to play after this sit out year.

Not winning the starting position at JC is a concern, but I like the fact he decided to enroll now. He has this year to practice with the team learning the playbook. Next year, I could see him playing behind DT getting some experience here and there and then taking over after DT for his last 2 years.

But can he beat out McNulty? lol

Spain evidently was not the only competition and it appears they had a battle going back to the Spring which would be before Berglund had arrived:

Former Desert Vista quarterback Cody Sokol turned an impressive stint at Scottsdale Community College into a scholarship to Iowa, and now multiple well-known East Valley signal callers are trying to do the same.

Former Notre Dame Prep quarterback Jordan Gehrke is already at the school and threw five touchdown passes in the program’s spring game on Friday, his dad, Ted, said.

Higley quarterback Eric Kump and former Paradise Valley quarterback Kevin Spain are also expected to compete for the starting spot next season, which was vacated by Sokol. Spain is transferring in from Hawaii, the school he committed to out of high school. Paradise Valley coach Donnie Yantis said Spain would be back in Arizona in a couple weeks.

Final thought -- Berglund probably got lured into the Scottsdale opportunity because a). it gave him a chance to play right away and their last QB Cody Sokol ended up getting a full ride scholly to Iowa. Thankfully for us he came to his senses and realized that he had a LOT better opportunity to play at North Texas even though he would have to sit out a year. I think the misperception some are having is that Scottsdale is just another junior college and it's not -- they place a fair amount of players at high level programs. I think the timing did not work out in his favor and am glad he chose North Texas! GMG!

So last year we were splitting hairs over DT and McNulty, and some CC is hanging their hats on future Iowa schollies, Notre Dame preps, and another 3 star dual-threat guy in Brock's mold.

WTF?

Just for clarification, That Notre Dame is a prep high school in Arizona.

He did not attend the South Bend Notre Dame.

He was a 2012 grad with no scholarship offers.

I hope this wasn't Brock's only competition.

      in the new world of NIL coaches contracts should not be signed for more than three years. There is no longer the luxury of building a team.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.
