#NIU quarterback A.J. Hill is transferring to SIU.

Probably best, doesn't sound like he had what it took to play at this level. Harnish has another year here then it will be Jordan Lynch the following two.

Unless the new Coach brings in his guy(s) and Lynch ends up #2 or #3.

Even if Kill had stayed it looked like Hill was the odd man out. I was anticipating this move.

Best for Hill, wish him well. J Lynch while looking good has to get better. He has to be able to throw effectively.

I am not sold on Lynch yet. He was not given much of a chance to throw the ball so we do not know if he can run an effective balanced offense or not. It would not be fair to judge him based on his failed pass in the MACC because he has had so few opportunities to throw the ball in game situations. Note that I am not saying that he cannot be the next QB, I am just saying that he is an unkown until we see him run the full offense in a game situation.

Without stomping on him, it's really safe to say he wasn't a D1 QB.

Either way, Hill and Lynch I believe are very similar QB's, and at this point Lynch is well ahead, seems to be no reason to keep Hill here, he should go play.

Probably a good move for Hill, no reason to stay if he wasn't going to see the field. It's not like a back up WR or safety, where he'll probably get some time at special teams or in certain formations, if you're Hill, you're basically holding a clip board for your college career. I wouldn't look forward to that either.

Havent seen enough of Hill. Was he almost as good or a lot worse than the other QBs on the roster? Remember, you are only a couple of injuries away from him seeing the field. If he is not good enough, good luck to him. Tough decision to make.

Take that pass Jordan Lynch threw in the MACC. I never saw Hill throw anything that didn't look like that.

And for you star gazers, Hill was the 3 star and Lynch the 2 star coming out of HS

Good for Hill. I hope we see Lynch throw in the bowl game.

If he does, I hope it's a short pass.

Yet another scholarship just became available.

as we can see from actual playing the stars did not mean much. Just like Coach Doeran says, its not the stars that will sway his position. I saw Hill in practice and felt he was not what we needed.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Lynch switch positions under Doeren. If you want an idea of what type of offense he wants to run, look at the first couple QB prospects he goes after. I think we'll see much more pro style QBs targeted.

Hill had a pus arm.

hopefully he doesnt, i really like lynch at QB, and he still has still to develop his pass. Harnish couldnt throw at first either. coach said in the press conf that his players would dictate the offense, so hopefully he holds true to that, plus canada has run the pistol offense in the past i believe
