I think we'll create our own crystal ball page now…in fact , going to take that up with my developer.

Anyways, we're far enough along in public knowledge to just let the cat out of the bag now…"nobody move, nobody get 'urt".

This was created on January 19th, 2021 for a reason, and sure everyone has seen it posted multiple times before anyways:



Here's the deal…

If someone had transfer credits, they would be here already and would have been on the field yesterday instead of the stands. I still have the tweet saved this image was attached to - which was ready to be released months ago - when the time comes. But for now, FAU has higher standards than other Universities, including Miami when it comes to some things.

That said, the strategy has changed and the need to now simply have a degree and bypass our undergrad requirements is underway.

If someone does their job academically, FAU will have no choice but to accept them, Jake will enjoy a crow dinner with a member who had to be suspended for two weeks because we'll have four QB's ahead of his continual point of rule violating criticism.

Go Owls  :cool:

Rick from the top rope! If perry comes the transformation of the qb room in one year will have been amazing. From last year’s depth chart tronti, posey, littlejon, taggart jr, agner to addding michael johnson jr, perry, and monds that will be a job well done. Those who critized not bringing in a transfer to compete with his son will have to admit he brought in 3 transfers.

I can't wait to share this with my canes friends. Not the Perry info. But the fact that FAU  wouldn't accept all of the um  credits. Let's cross our fingers that we get everything in line so the young man can start hos grad program at fau. I'm excited to see where this goes

I’ll eat crow if I’m wrong. I just can’t get excited about Perry or a P5 transfer coming here to play QB. I feel like we’ve been burnt enough times by giving these kids insane expectations with the idea that they’ll dominate C-USA off talent alone. 

At least he’s a former starter … but buyer beware.

 Nothing is a guarantee high school qbs are an even bigger risk in my opinion. You even said it yourself fau needed a transfer qb. Perry would make two P5 transfers. The QB room last year wasn’t good in week 12 PFF ranked tronti 88th out of 125th for all starting qbs. If perry could get the qbs to be ranked 50th that is a huge improvement. Tate martell wasnt good at miami but d’eriq king lit it up if you take enough talented QBs you will eventually hit. I’m not excited to watch the same QB room again more competition and depth needed.

This is why I love some of you. Thank you for holding me accountable. :D

So in all seriousness, my need for a transfer was fufilled when Michael Johnson Jr. arrived. If you take Perry, you've hit the point where you now have five scholarship quarterbacks – and we don't know if Perry can get another year next year. That's a lot of scholarship quarterbacks.

If they truly believe that Perry can come in and lead this team to eight or nine wins, go for it. I'm proceeding with caution because we've been burnt before but I'd like to be wrong.

Agreed on some of the past transfers. However i dont think we can be content we have to be able to attack defenses downfield. From everything i have ready perry has the ability to play 2 years. Can we really count posey and taggart jr as QB options?they both need 2 years minimum of work not be mean to them its just the truth. What if tronti transfers? Lets get another qb so we can work on getting a TE, kicker and 3rd CB next lol

I'm open to giving Posey more time at QB, but you have to decide by the end of this season what you're doing with him. (And he has to potentially decide if he wants to stay here in that case. I want to clarify I don't know anything about him entering the portal. Just that if you're a QB through three years and you haven't played as much as you want, kids tend to jump in El Portal.)

Taggart Jr. at QB, I don't see it, but maybe I will be wrong. If he doesn't pan out as a QB and they move him, that's three busts at QB (Frank and Littlejohn) of kids you signed out of HS since 2016.* That's far from ideal.

*Reluctant to call Parr a bust because he at least played and had some memorable moments. If Posey winds up being moved to WR, that's another conversation if we consider him a bust or not.

Parr would have easily started in 2018 over a Freshman CR2 and the much over celebrated DeAndre Johnson. I really think it was a miscalculation on both sides to let him walk but then again, who could have seen the Driskel retirement coming? One thing I’ll say about Posey, when he runs the ball he looks like a dominant G5 QB but that’s the problem. It’s only when he runs. He did look a lot more physically developed at the spring than the skinny Fr kid from last year. Good for him hitting the weight room hard. 

If MJJ is already outperforming the upperclassman Tronti, what’s the use in bringing in another guy who was a spot starter on fairly mediocre 2018/2019 Canes teams? Might as well give our young guy the keys to the beach rover and let him drive. Guess that’s why I’m not a head coach though. Go Owls!

There is no reason not to take Perry, if y’all what another conference championship Perry will bring that to the table, an experienced pocket passer who can throw downfield is what this team needs to take it to the next level. Yes MJJ looked good in the spring game but I would take Perry over anyone else currently on the roster.

Parr made the right decision in the end. Injury ended his final year early but he was doing well at Dusquene, he was happy there. Nearly two full years as a starter and he got his degree. I think just took a job in sports management down here. Great guy. 

Agree on Posey, agree on Perry but also agree with Wagon. (Not a misprint.) I just don’t want to waste a scholarship on Perry if he comes in and he’s third string at best. Much different if you have someone walk-on.
