Kurt Benkert finally named starter for ECU - Indiana Bones - 08-19-2015 02:54 PM

"We've had great competition at that position so far, but we felt it was time to name a starter to move forward with our preparations for the season," McNeill said. "While Kurt will have the first opportunity, we feel very good about the capabilities of Blake (Kemp), Cody (Keith) and John (Jacobs). Like anyone else in our program at all other positions, Kurt will need to keep progressing and continue to earn the job throughout the year."

No shock. Time to see if he lives up to his hype and talent.

Where did the transfer fall in preseason depth chart?

N/A....... he's sitting out. It should be known that he's just a walk-on and not a scholarship transfer.

Nowhere, he's not eligible at this time and likely won't be this year.

Wasn't Cody Keith allegedly a 5* QB who was flying under the radar according to the EZU homers?

4* according to Tom Lemming: http://www.debartoloqbacademy.com/news-blog/2014/9/18/4-star-quarterback-cody-keith-enrolls-at-cheshire-academy
His very wealthy parents also helped finance a documentary about his recruiting process: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1461432/
However most other recruiting services did not rate him that highly.

I thought Kemp was gonna get it after the first scrimmage.
The Autumn Wind is a pirate
Blustering in from sea,
With a rollocking song, he sweeps along, Swaggering boisterously.

However it was posted everywhere on social media that we landed a 4 star QB by the majority of our uneducated fan base. Just like this year with John Jacobs being named by some dick wad as the best dual threat QB in the country. And bleacher report followed it up with an article saying he was a 5 star, which led to my idiot friends I graduated with from ECU asking if Jacobs would start day 1 and how he would lead us to 10 wins etc this year.
Now I hope Jacobs is the next big thing, but its a difference in bleacher report calling you a 5 star and 247sports saying your a 3 star and the 49th best dual threat

John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith, his name was my name toooooo!
RE: Kurt Benkert finally named starter for ECU - Purplehook - 08-19-2015 08:27 PM
He has the best arm, He is the best Runner, and He is the most athletic of our QB's just has to settle down and grow up on the field with true experience on the filed this year. It will be scary, fun, and frustrating at times for sure to break in a new young QB. Carden was steady and smart, with a very accurate arm. Kurt has more natural athletic ability, that ability can bring our QB play to a higher level OR get us into trouble quicker!!! We will see.

Benkert will be fine but the same statement was said about Rio, besides shane being a little bit better of a playmaker with his feet

Not really Rio didn't have a very good arm, he was just more athletic than shand

wrong. Rio had a cannon and if you look past the skin color you could realize that shane was the better scrambler and rio had the better arm of the two. clearly shane won the job because of the intangibles and leadersip qualities. Rio had NFL arm strength and it was said as early as his freshman year on pirate radio by skip holtz
