Quarterback Questions

[AQKnightro]

Does anyone know if Pete Dinovo is still with the team?

Also, Holman is a Junior. Assuming he starts this year and next, does anyone worry about playing time between Tyler Harris and Bo Schneider? Great problem to have I imagine.

Don't forget about Nick Patti. Redshirt Bo, Make Tyler and Nick fight for the back up spot. We are setting UCF to be QBU.

Dinovo is in the process of transitioning to WR. Harris will most likely beour #2 this year, it depends on how well Schneider shows in the fall. Patti is too small to play the position in this scheme at this level. We are in a great position with Holman, Harris, and Schneider.

That is great to hear about Dinovo! I was really worried about him. Don't get me wrong, I was very frustrated by his play in the Penn State game, but he has been such a supporter of the program. I thought for sure he was going to try and transfer. Hope things work out for him.

Same here. He epitomizes what it means to be a Knight. He went from starter to 3rd string in three weeks' time and handled that by earning Scout Team player of the week. This young man has handled the adversity with great maturity and understanding. I hope he gives us production like Godfrey did after the transition; if not, I'm happy he's a Knight.

If Harris and Bo can't beat out Holman....it won't be close to QBU...Holman at helm means another 3 or 4 loss season...and a bowl game in St Pete at best.Plus I dont see Harris sitting for 2 more seasons without leaving...If he doesnt win job next year by midpoint, he leaves.

 

[AQKnightro]

You mean by the time Harris is a RS Sophomore you expect him to beat out Holman the Senior QB at that point? If that does not happen, Harris will transfer? I am not sure I buy that. He could certainly beat out Holman, but I still think it is Holman's job to lose.

QB U would mean that every QB coming in is going to get 2 years of starting time, max, and maybe even 1. That is the set up that UCF could be facing, which is great!

 

[pittstoner74]

No...Kids don't pick G5 school to play 1 year...they can go to Texas, FSU, Bama, or even Tennessee if they only wanted to play 1 year or 2 max...QBU means you are putting QB after QB into NFL...not playing 1 year and never heard from again...Mark it down, if Harris doesnt win the job halfway through next year, he will transfer and sit out following year anyway.

 

[Knight_Light]

Amazing how no one considers injuries, suspensions, poor play, etc...as possibilities as to how many back-up QB's get PT.

Bortles pushed a Conf Championship and Liberty Bowl QB hard during his Redshirt Freshmen season and actually earned a lot of PT...which lead to him winning the starting job as a Redshirt Soph.

I hope every new QB is better than the one before...but in the real world of college football...if you can hit out on a starter in 1 out of every 4 QB signings...that might be a good ratio...hence why teams ended up signing 3-5 QB recruits every 2-3 years or so.

Having quality QB back-ups is a good thing...just ask the current National Champs.

Gotcha, my definition of QBU not withstanding. I will mark down Harris's departure if he does not win the starting job halfway through his Sophomore year. However, if those are his true feelings, he should probably have kept his commitment to SMU?

Further, he was offered by USF as well as other teams with quarterback needs much greater than UCF's. If starting early was his top priority why the heck did he pick UCF over any of those schools.

 

[Square Knight]

Yea...it's not like players never improve from year to year. *

 

[KnightVision82]

Thought Patti would be the one transitioning but He's still our best #2 QB at this point
because of having the most game experience after Holman.

How fast is Dinovo? Hope he gets playing time this year. He's worked very hard to participate in this program!

Ok....if that happens...next man up...as UCF will sign at least 1 QB in the 2016 class...and same in 2017, 2018 and so on.

Next man up.

That is exactly what FSU did for most of their glory years. When it was time for the next guy he usually was a redshirt JR.

Who on here has seen Harris or Schneider play in a college game?

I mean...I have no horse in this race but would be shocked if they all did not get better and I honestly think Holman got better after the 4 int UCONN game.

I am just hopping OL and running game are better so kidding game can be best possible no matter who at helm of QB

Why would Harris transfer after this season if he doesn't win the job? Why wouldn't he just wait it out a year then become the starter instead of transferring and sitting out the season. Only way I see him transferring is if Schneider beats him out this summer and he transfers before the season starts. He should see the field this season so not sure why he would leave.

I agree. Holman will be a junior next year and if his status somehow rises to where he leaves for the NFL early that leaves Harris and Schneider and whoever is recruited to battle the next season.

Worst case scenario i see is either Harris or Schneider transferring if they can't secure 2nd QB spot during Holman's senior year....most likely Harris. It seems like the coaches are really excited about Schneider more than any QB recruited this decade.

Holman is the next Tom Brady at worst. What the heck is wrong with you. Can't you see the similarities.

I don't see Harris transferring at any point. He's a big UCF promoter on social media. Similar attitude that DiNovo has in the program, though I doubt Harris could become a WR

. If Bo comes in and beats him out for #2, where would he go? What school would want him if he's #3 at UCF?

I'm sure there are options, but just look at John O'Korn shopping himself around like he deserves to be at a P5 school after struggling in a pass-happy Houston offense.

Holman, Harris, and Schneider will all have their chance to shine. Hopefully all will have a chance to compete with a decent OL and running game.

Godfrey did great transitioning over to WR.

I mean the QB knows all the plays/offense but will Pete have the toughness and athleticism to do what Godfrey did?

Is it September yet?

there is no way in hell Holman even gets an UDFA signing to NFL...please just stop...Holman can't leave early unless he wants CFL.

 

[Knight_Classes_begin_7pm]

Holman = no nfl (unless a miracle happens)

He does have an arm though! Kid throws bullets!

 

[HoseEmDown]

When did I say anything about Holman leaving early? Maybe you should read what people right before getting defensive. What's the point of Harris transferring after next season starts? He's essentially going to have to sit out two years before he plays, in two years Holman will be gone and the job here can be his. There's plenty of schools that kids want to go to and don't mind sitting a few seasons before becoming the starting QB. In the 90's FSU seemed like they rolled out a new QB every couple of years who didn't start till his RS junior year. It doesn't happen as often with kids wanting to play right away but if you get kids with the right attitude who want to learn the position and earn the job we could do that too.

 

[ucfversusbcs]

Did you think going into his Junior year, that Blake Bortles would bypass his senior year? All im saying is anything is possible.

That said if none of that happens i can't see Schneider enrolling at UCF to start only one year because thats what will happen if Holman and Harris (if he wins the job after Holman graduates) are the starting QBs.

 

[pittstoner74]

This sounds to me like leaving early for NFL.....

[firm_bizzle]

Harris is going to have 1.5 years on Schneider. Holman has a year on Harris. I think Holman comes back a different QB with some coaching and a run game next year.

On the condition of his status rising somehow. That doesnt mean it will happen.

Once again Pitt where did I say Holman would leave early? Your quote is from someone else, he may be the only person who shares that opinion. Could Holman have a Bortles like year and see his stock rise to where he could be an early pick, sure but unlikely. The point I was originally responding to you about is you saying Harris will transfer if he doesn't get the job after this season which would be dumb because he'd have to sit out a year when he could stay and get in a few games then potentially take over as the starter.

 

[ucfversusbcs]

Did you see the big smile on GOL face when he was shaking Schneider's hand for the camera? If i were Harris, i'd take that as a flag to consider transferring if Holman continues improving.
