OSU QB situation: could a MAC program benefit from a transfer?
http://www.si.com/college-football/2014/...ompetition
Talk about an embarassment of riches; Braxton Miller the 2012 & 13 Tribune Silver Football Winner, JT Barrett finished in the top 5 of the Heisman voting while Cardale Jones led the Buckeyes to a 59-0 routing of Wisky in the B10 title game and a Sugar Bowl win over favored Alabama. If he leads OSU to a national championship win over Oregon, there is no way he is not going to be OSU's starter for 15 which means
2 QB's who if healthy would be starting for many P5 and most G5 programs will be grabbing some bench.
Any MAC programs with OSU alums as head or assistant coaches who may have an inside track to pick up one of these 3 as a transfer? This will get very interesting as we head into spring

Miller will most likely transfer, but it won't be to a MAC school. The other to may battle for the starting spot in the spring, and the loser may transfer over the summer.

RE: OSU QB situation: could a MAC program benefit from a transfer?
Cardale Jones was a Toledo commit at one point and then left when OSU offered late. Doubt he'd be coming back into the mix, and Miller has the benefit of the graduate transfer rule, so he's likely to pick a top team with an opening rather than go to a MAC school.

RE: OSU QB situation: could a MAC program benefit from a transfer?
Not sure, but I don't think it's a given that Barrett will transfer if OSU wins next week. Zac Dysert kept the starting job in 2011 even after Austin Boucher filled in and led us to the MAC championship and Godaddy Bowl wins. The stakes are obviously a lot higher, but over an entire season OSU can't be certain that Jones will be effective, they can for Barrett.
I don't think Miller will 'stoop' down to the MAC. He'll look for an upper-tier G5 if I had to guess (see Gunner Kiel transferring from Notre Dame to UC).
Speaking of Notre Dame, there's been some speculation that Miami may have the inside track on getting Everett Golson to transfer like Hendrix this year. I'd welcome him with open arms because our QB situation next year looks relatively bleak, but part of me just wants to start someone we already have so they gain experience. Even with Golson the odds of us going bowling are very slim, not getting another transfer could be better for us in the long run.

According to the article, next fall Jones will be in his 4th year in the program if he doesn't start next fall he may be near graduation by the end of spring semester and could transfer elsewhere for the 2016 season. He'd be a heck of a pickup for somebody

Plus they have Joe Burrow, Mr. Football 2014, as incoming freshman QB next year. Joe is the son of Jimmy Burrow, defensive coordinator for the Bobcats.

I didn't read the article, but I'm pretty sure he went the prep school route, therefore he is only a RS Soph.

You must be joking, right? No way in hell any of these 3 is dropping all the way down to a MAC school.

RE: OSU QB situation: could a MAC program benefit from a transfer?
jones almost went to toledo with a couple of his hs buddies, but i don't see him coming to the mac now that he's been a big player on the biggest stage. jones not known as much of a student so would be surprised if he grads in 4 years and goes grad school somewhere with football eligibility. miller was looking at fla st and some other schools but has serious injury issues and would be a risky guy to give the keys to the program to as a 1 year transfer.
barrett will likely be back at osu battling for his job.
toledo just got a commit from UAB's top db as a transfer eligible immediately

RE: OSU QB situation: could a MAC program benefit from a transfer?
I've heard Miller to FSU, probably more prevalent now that Jameis is gone.
I'd bet Jones leaves over Barrett, if Barrett leaves, he'll go Big 12, he's from Texas. Jones, I have no clue where he would go, but I'd say a place like Cincy is more likely than a MAC school.
I read Golson to LSU is pretty likely, but after the Miami mention, that wouldn't be a huge shock. He knows the coach, knows he'd be the starter, good academics (yes, I know he was a cheater or whatever)

Super Bowl winner Joe Flaco "dropped" to Delaware. Have to play to be seen.
And he "dropped" division levels in order to play right away as many others have also chosen. Miller will be able to play right away as he will have graduated, what benefit would he get going to a MAC school when he could just as easily go as a free agent to any program in the country with a QB vacancy? Oregon or Florida State will be his first two choices, not sure why somebody would think he'd end up in the MAC. If you transfer and sit out a season what benefit is there to land at a MAC school when one of the big time programs might be wide open in a short time?
