To JMU?

He just announced today, so I think he was just saying there's another QB out there looking to transfer. I doubt our staff would try to bring in yet another transfer QB unless they feel really bad about our QB situation.

Dormady was pretty good. He was in a bad situation playing for a horrible coach. Butch Jones was pressured by fans to play the younger, more "exciting" Guarantano. Dormady did not have anyone to throw to either. And keep in mind Jones elected to play HORRIBLE Jalen Hurd over NFL rookie of the year Alvin Kamara, so his assessments on player personnel was awful to say the least.

But the negative with Dormady is he really is not a runner. Tennessee ran the spread with the zone read, but he almost refused to keep the ball even when it was wide open. I doubt he would transfer to a school that runs a similar offense that he struggled in last season.

Dormady is from Texas, will graduate this semester and will have immediate eligibility at D1A level. Not even worth discussing as far as JMU goes.

Zerrick Cooper is leaving Clemson. No idea if he's looking at FCS or willing to sit out a season for FBS but he's absolutely worth a phone call to check.

RE: QB Next Year
I think we should take every FBS QB transfer available and have them all shoot it out in spring/August.

QB is an important position. Why not bring in 15-20 QBs and let them fight it out?

RE: QB Next Year
Article in DNR this morning that confirms that DiNucci will be a walk on. A guy who started at ACC Pitt pursued JMU as a walk on over other scholarship offers. I guess the game day experience and the strength of being part of a winning program lured him to JMU. I still worry that JMU is falling behind ODU, Liberty and Coastal Carolina.

RE: QB Next Year
Better yet. Let’s start a QB at every offensive position. Think of the athleticism we would have. We could score from every position. We could call it the QB raid offense. Soon every college in the country will be running it.

Other scholarship offers from FCS I’m sure. If he tried to go to another FBS, he’d sit out and lose a year of eligibility so it was FCS or bust I presume. Why not pursue JMU then given our current QB situation and how we stack up against the rest of FCS. I’m not sure what this situation has to do with how we stack up against those FBS schools you just mentioned, as he’d lose a year of eligibility if he went to any of them.

Surely you jest. As it regards ODU have you read about that school’s most recent plans to construct a new stadium? It’s a disaster. Fewer seats than BFS. Fewer amenities. For all the cheap shots taken at the “lop-sided” design of BFS, the upper-deck at JMU presents an impressive “curb side appeal” and big-time look to BFS. Add to that the APC and upgraded locker and support facilities for FB and its little wonder why JMU continues to beat out many programs in the recruiting game. Bottom line, JMU is not falling behind.

ODU's issue was that they tried to do too much too fast.

Given where JMU is as an institution, compared to Radford, Longwood and Mary Washington...all institutions that had the same original mandate and mission as JMU, I'd say JMU has moved pretty damn fast.

On the other hand, perhaps you'd like to schedule Radford, Longwood or Mary Washington in FB...oh, that's right... 07-coffee3

Yeah I was joking with that comment. JMU is a destination for players- 4 year players out of high school, the occasional Juco and guys who transfer and have options at both FBS and FCS.

We were told by members of the fan base that we would fall behind our regional counterparts who went FBS in recruiting yet we continue to out recruit these schools- and P5 level schools like Rutgers on occasion. When someone visits JMU sees a game, sees the stadium and facilities, and meets the coaching staff that makes a big impact and they can see the difference and want to be part of it despite any of the labels. It's become a big time football program and some other school "moving up" isn't going to change that.

DiNucci has 2 years of eligibility left- I'm sure a G5 would have given him a scholarship offer and we could have red shirted and been a starter as a Junior red shirt. If Birdsong as a FCS/JMU player was able to transfer to Marshall I'm sure DiNucci as a starter at Pitt had similar options.

Instead DiNucci chose to walk on at JMU- sure he's immediately eligible to play and compete but he is at a disadvantage in that the system and personnel is new to him and he is going to compete with 2 scholarship players who have been part of the team. I think the FBS transfer route may have ended up yielding more playing time but we'll see. Happy to have him on board to compete for the job. Quality QBs are in short supply.

DiNucci already burned his redshirt at Pitt. No G5 was going to offer him a scholarship to sit out a year and have one year of eligibility.... even if they would, he wouldn’t want to sit out a year and lose a year of eligibility to only have one year to possibly play. I’m sure the other scholarship offers he had to transfer were FCS, not FBS
