Southwest Duck No. 3 Share Posted November 29, 2021 247 sports says Oregon is a possible landing spot for him. I hope not, we need to roll with Ty or Butters. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Joseph Moderator No. 4 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Will QB Caleb Williams follow Riley to SC? I'd love to have Spencer Rattler on the roster. He has played in and won big games. The guys in Oregon's QB room could not beat out Brown. Rattler would have started over Brown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Dart and Kedon Slovis have both looked good at times at USC. USC has not had a QB problem... offensive line, defensive line, linebacker, runningback, and parts of the secondary... yes. If Williams leaves to go to USC he loses his starting job and would have to compete with some pretty good talent. Better to stay at Oklahoma and get some of the NIL money. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will and will be the best QB that SC has had in years, Leinart, Sanchez, Barkley, none of them are as good as Williams. And Rattler isn't as good as Williams, but would be the best QB at Oregon. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams is a generational type talent. He transfers to SC and Dart is headed elsewhere. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJacksPlaidPants Moderator No. 8 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) My guess is he’ll go to Ole Miss or ASU unless they (ASU) get hit with sanctions. Ole Miss makes the most sense for him, though. Their starter is leaving and he’ll have Kiffin as his personal QB guru. That is, unless Kiffin leaves for a better job.

latracey No. 9 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I read today that it is expected that as many as 500 football players will be entering the transfer by next Monday. WOW !! That is a lot of unhappy campers. It's a great opportunity for lesser programs who wouldn't get a look see from the top high school recruits to fill out their rosters with talent in the second go round. Given that it wasn't working out for him at Oregon, Pittman really was wise to hit the portal early and beat the crowd. Things will be a lot more difficult to sort out with 500 + players all vying for attention. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are unhappy others I am sure are just looking for opportunities for more playing time. The sad thing is that many will lose their scholarships and not find a new home. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyjesus615 No. 11 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If Rattler is willing to come to Oregon I'm totally fine with it. As long as the conversation that is had with him is that the position is an open battle. Let iron sharpen iron. There will clearly be attrition at the position with Ty, Butters, Ashford, and Tanner Bailey all on the roster next year; but whoever rises out of that slugfest will be an absolute force to be reckoned with.

DUCKED No. 12 Share Posted November 30, 2021 No shock there. If Williams stays with Oklahoma, Rattler for sure is gone. But if Williams joins Riley at USC, Rattler may very well opt back in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck 1972 No. 14 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Mario hasn't used the portal much. can't see him use it for a QB. There is one name I just saw that interested me. 4* QB Jack Miller out of tOSU. Would be a sophomore. If our coaches don't feel our current crop of QBs are sufficient, what about him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the coaches NEED to show they can produce a talented quarterback. MC inherited Herbert from Helfrich, played Shough who then flamed out and transferred and grabbed Brown from the transfer portal. Fans lost faith in Helfrich when he dipped into the transfer market and grabbed Dakota Prukop rather than prove he had a starting quarterback he recruited. Adams was necessary because there wans't a quality QB after Mariota left and Prukop continued that narrative, even though Herbert would prove otherwise but it was too late. Also the defense was dreadful... another story for another time. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's difficult to recruit high quality QBs when they know they would ride the bench for however long Mariota would be there. As I recall, Oregon had multiple blue chip QBs transfer out as that was precisely the case...that basically led to a situation of needing to recruit precisely the right QB during Mariota's last year that had a high probability of panning out....not exactly easy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
