Eligible immediately....from the article:

In Heaps, the Hurricanes have added a quarterback who ranked as the No. 3 quarterback in the class of 2010 and a top-100 overall prospect according to the 247Sports composite. Heaps signed with BYU and won the starter's job, but eventually lost out and joined Charlie Weis in Kansas.

Heaps appeared in 11 games in his only season in Lawrence, completing 49 percent of his passes and posting an 8-to-10 touchdown to interception ratio as the Jayhawks finished 3-9. Weis held an open competition for the starting quarterback job in spring practice and named Montell Cozart his No. 1 afterwards.

Our quarterback situation keeps getting brighter and brighter. I am very excited about Heaps. Hopefully he turns out better than Morris was his senior year.

A QB that couldn't win the Kansas job? I wouldn't get too excited.

Siding with you on this...plus, only has a couple of months to earn the offense...

He couldn't win the job at two different schools.

He sounds like an okay backup.

Miami taking a career backup transfer QB tells you their current QB situation isn't that great.

Internally, UM is concerned about its quarterback situation. But Heaps, based on his spotty track record, hardly seems the answer. Ryan Williams hopes to return from a knee injury by mid-to-late September. Kevin Olsen remains the front-runner to start the opener, with newcomers Brad Kaaya and Malik Rosier also expecting to get some first-team reps early in camp, barring a change of heart by the coaching staff.

THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME

Meet Taylor Barton (@TaylorBarton12), a former quarterback at the University of Washington who was on the field as a backup when the Hurricanes steamrolled the Huskies 65-7 en route to the national title in 2001. Barton is now a quarterback coaching guru in the Pacific Northwest, who runs the Barton Football Academy in Oregon and Washington.

Barton has not only coached Heaps since the sixth grade when his parents used to drive him 3 1/2 hours each way on the weekends over to Portland, Oregon for two hour camps. He has also tutored some of the best players to come out of the region including Super Bowl winning quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Jake Locker, Joey Harrington, Kellen Moore, Kellen Clemens and Derek Anderson among more than a dozen alumni who have reached the NFL.

What the Hurricanes could end up getting in Heaps in the long run is a 2-for-1 quarterback special. According to Barton, UM recently offered 2016 top-rated quarterback Jacob Eason of Lake Stevens, Wash. and camper at the Barton Football Academy.

"It very easily could be a situation with them signing Jake he could very well easily step in and be the starter and then with Jacob Eason he could end up stepping in at Miami and being the starter in two years," Barton said. "He’s a kid who is going to graduate early and end up somewhere in spring ball. He has a chance to be the best to ever come out of this region. He is going to be a guy that plays in the NFL for 12 to 15 years. He’s the real deal."

LAUGHS BEST

Yeah, well, when (if...) we beat FSU this year at home, perhaps you might think differently.

I desperately hope I'm right about Heaps and the Canes this year.
