Want to revisit the QB room now?dyedblue wrote: ↑April 15th, 2024, 9:35 pmCheck back at the end of October and we’ll see where we’re at.Blue Sage wrote: ↑April 15th, 2024, 9:22 pmI mean it’s true. Legas and Petras have been so far ahead of the rest in practices. The fact Hillstead is leaving is because he knows it. If he believed in himself he wouldn’t go. One things for sure you have to have a QB that believes in himself. I’m pretty happy with the QB room. Not sure what all the hate is.AggieFBObsession wrote: ↑April 15th, 2024, 5:09 pmBased on what I've seen first hand from Petras nobody will be regretting having him on the roster. Sucks that Hillstead left but not the end of the world

Re: Hillstead Transferring
Speaking of Hillstead, any chance he'd reconsider now that Legas is in the portal? I'm guessing no and that both players talked and both knew the other was entering portal but if I were BA I'd at least ask Hillstead if he wants to come back.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
I'm fairly certain that BA also has a "no return" policy once a player enters the portal.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
I get why he does that but I wonder if Coop leaving has him rethinking that with Hillstead.

Can't make exceptions. Once you make an exception for one kid, another will expect the same treatment.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
Is there anybody in the transfer portal QB that is worth taking at this point?

Re: Hillstead Transferring
I completely agree 22. I just wondered if the Wild Wild West we are now involved in changes what coaches will do overall? I can imagine coaches who have taken a hard line might go soft and say to those they want back - we will consider taking you back until we have filled your scholarship. But again, whatever your approach is, it has be consistent. This whole environment is creating slippery slopes.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
It's more of a case of a kid holding his scholarship hostage so to speak. Once a kid decides to forego his opportunity at Utah State, the coaching staff can't wait around hoping that he comes back while potentially passing on quality replacements.gomretat wrote: ↑April 18th, 2024, 8:57 amI completely agree 22.

Really was pushing for Hillsteads success post-transfer…
Well that’s gone to hell.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
Hillstead didn’t win a game for us all season. I hope he continues on that trend.
How hilarious would it be if Legas transferred to byu, and then they had to go through the biggest mid off like we did last year.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
BYU’s O-lines are historically very tall. I’m not convinced Hillstead will succeed on their team and in that league but I could be wrong. He has most everything else going for him except for size.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
I agree. Qualtrics University somehow always has a really good O line and if that's the case this year I do think Hillstead can thrive there. It's too bad we let USU fans Sh!t on him. Dude barely turned 18, threw for 420 yards in a game and we boo'd him off the field.AggieUprising50 wrote: ↑April 25th, 2024, 2:50 pmI hate it because I do think that Hillstead will do well there.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
Hillstead is really talented, as shown by his success as a true freshman forced into the starting role due to injuries.

I wish him the best, and it is no surprise that he stayed in-state with BYU.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
I never like Hillstead. He was overrated in my opinion. He will follow the legendary short QBs at BYU like Ty Detmer and Riley Nelson. He may do well, but I couldn't care less.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
He had upside but it's funny that qbU wants a guy who was competing for third string with the pig farmer behind Petras and Legas.

Re: Hillstead Transferring
What should they have done about it? Given him the starting job despite not being the best QB on the field?

Re: Hillstead Transferring
Didn't feel like Hillstead was a good player and if you look at his stats from last year the numbers back that up. Poor completion percentage and QBR and we should have a lot better options.
