Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
Tanner Mordecai and Spencer Rattler are supposed to be good. I don’t know anything about them - just highly recruited. I was really just saying what some fans were saying - what I meant by supposedly - I don’t follow that closely.
They lost a QB to transfer when they took Hurts. It’s obviously working for them (3 great ones in a row) but it might get harder to recruit top QBs if you always take grad transfers.

Thanks. I was curious who they had waiting in the wings.sneed wrote: ↑December 9th, 2019, 7:35 pm

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
I would love to have Jordan back to see if he can redeem himself next year with a more experienced O-line because I genuinely like him, appreciate what he’s had to overcome in life, and think he’s a much better player than he showed this year. I will also be thrilled for him personally if he goes to the NFL and makes it.
If he grad transfers, I will remember him fondly for the 2018 season and will wish him the best. Also, I’m not saying it’s all his fault, but I will not miss this season’s 1:1 TD to interception ratio and poor QBR in just about every game.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
Good question. I don't think it changes much. TO start the season, Love was considered to be one of the 3-4 best QBs available. Obviously that's changed now. It hurts me to say, but I think it is in in Love's best interest to transfer to another program and play another year. That is, if his goals are to be a first round pick. I don't know Love's family/financial situation, so I can't say for sure.
A super nerd on reddit (maybe it was Freakboy) did some statistical analysis on what happens to QBs that regress their last year in college and enter the NFL. It's almost always predictive of a bad NFL career. I'll try to find it.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
Is there are any substance to Jordan transferring? Has he come out and said this? If he has not it seems a little immature on people's part to proclaim that he is transferring. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt as he has been a great Aggie and ambassador for the program. I hope he comes out lights up Kent State in the bowl game.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
A player doesn't openly say they're transferring when there is still football to be played. Just like a coach wouldn't announce they were taking another job when there is still football to be played.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑December 10th, 2019, 7:47 amIs there are any substance to Jordan transferring?

This thread was started in response to a report from a journalist that Love was considering transferring. It's not immature to discuss the possibility of him transferring or declaring for the draft as both are very real possibilities and neither are a knock on him or his character.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
I know that anyone that wants to take a cheap dig at USU is eating this up. I do think there are a lot of people using this one source to put down the program as feeder school for the big programs. I want whoever is QB next year to help win the division and finally beat Boise.
I hope Love does what is best for him. I appreciate the time I spent watching him play for the Aggies. I would be happy if he stayed and shattered a whole bunch of records next season, but that seems like a slim chance right now.
Go Aggies!

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
He is back in the first round on CBS Sports predictions!
I bet he leaves for the NFL. If he is first or second round, why stay in college. Now that there is talk of him transferring, I hope he just gets drafted and is just known as an Aggie!

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
BigBlueBaby is not wrong, nor are others pushing recruiting. It's not a one or the other proposition. He recognizes that recruiting is very important, while others pushing recruiting, seem completely to ignore coaching. Of course recruiting is extremely important. Nothing like stating the obvious and then ending on that point. Going deeper, USU has recruiting limitations, just like many other schools at its level. It's a fight to get the guys you want, and now, apparently with the news (gossip) about Love, it's hard even to keep them. Depth then becomes a problem when the stars you do have go down with injuries, which we seemed to have more than our fair share of this year. There is no doubt that if you don't have the horses to win, you're not going to, apart from some aberrations here and there. GA seems to be a good recruiter. I have high hopes. Wells was not bad at it, either. We had some good talent coming back, and most are on crutches now. There is no escaping the fact that many of our best years this past decade came from teams with talent we were not accustomed to seeing a lot of in Logan.
However, coaching kids up, and scheming, and preparing, and situational play calling, and in game adjusting are HUGE, maybe even more so at this level and with the talent that we can recruit. Having those skills as a coach will separate you from the rest. Personally, I thought we were pretty poor at it on a somewhat consistent basis. Someone argued that execution is important and that it's only on the kids for not executing. Wrong. It's on both the kids and coaches. You can teach (coach) execution. Precise execution can't do it all, but it can, to some extent, help cover the gap in speed, strength, height, etc. Enough top talent can make mediocre coaches look really good, but that's not the level at which we live. We need great coaches to move the needle with hopefully some great recruiting, but also with some, well......coaching.
So, like most things, it's a combination of factors, each being important to the desired outcome.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
If he is indeed projected in the first round, and that projection seems solid, he needs to go to the NFL. If he does anything else, he is foolish.

If you can get drafted in the first 3-4 rounds take the money and run. He has represented the Aggies well.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
I am sure if he doesn’t go pro, he will transfer. He got minimal if any help in improving this year. Too bad they brought GA back, could be a couple long years ahead.dyedblue wrote: ↑December 6th, 2019, 7:45 pmGary has never pretended to be an offensive mind.

It is what it is though and despite some painful moments we are 7-5.
I would Love Jordan to stick around, but I think he likely goes pro and if not then TT is a great fit with an OC that understands how to use him and adjust to personnel and a head coach that he knows well.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
I'm hoping one of three things happen:
1. He stays here
2. He goes to the NFL
3. Transfers to Oklahoma
Anything other than that I'll be sad for myself and nervous for Jordan. Any of those three options should play out pretty well for him, and isn't a huge negative for us. If he's transferring to TT, or another non-P5 it's not so great for us, and a little iffy for Jordan. I'll support the kid whatever he decides to do.

If Jordan doesn't go to the NFL, the only schools I could see him leaving USU for are for teams like Oklahoma, LSU, USC, or Michigan.

I doubt he would transfer to Texas Tech. You know who their quarterback was this year? Yeah, neither does anyone else.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
Pretty crazy how much smoke there is about this even after Love himself said all the grad transfer talk was "way off base" and was not in the plans. Makes me think either the media didn't know that he refuted it, doesn't believe him if they did, or they are too lazy to research either way.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
I agree, plus it is based simply on the fact that he followed the Georgia OC on twitter. HOWEVER, if Love does not get a high enough draft grade and pulls out of the draft, and COULD transfer to the SEC I wouldn't blame him for a second.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑December 10th, 2019, 5:49 pmThis article suggests that Jordan is currently in the portal.

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
Glad the subject matter of this thread (Love to Texas Tech) turned out to be a false narrative.
Best of luck to Jordan in the NFL!
Go Aggies! Hopefully Love and company come out very motivated and executing well against Kent State!

Re: Jordan Love to Texas Tech?
I know you've posted before about your connection with "scouts" and I won't dispute it, but this is vastly different than what I've heard.Mediocre at Best wrote: ↑December 6th, 2019, 7:29 pmAttended last weeks ASU and UA game in Tempe. Spoke with one scout who says most scouts grade him as a 4th round pick. This is still better than what I was told earlier in the season that he was a 5th round pick. He also said most advocate that he consider transfer to a P5 program to restore his draft stock. As the conversation went further it became clear that other than us in Cache Valley very few have much regard for GA as a head coach and an offensive mind.
I've heard Jordan Love had a 1st round grade after the manning passing academy this summer and his year last year. Sure, he struggled this season and dropped, but it's still looking like 3rd round at latest and probably sooner. I don't think there's any way he falls to the 5th round.
