Seals could challenge and push Hoover as well. If he does play - even with our OL struggles - Seals will get better protection and throw to faster WRs here than he did at Vandy. And Seals should find it easier to throw against SMU, UH and Baylor rather than Bama, Georgia and Tennessee. No disrespect to Hoover, but if you can't beat him out, then you are not an NFL QB. And then a TCU degree would be a beneficial down the road.

a position he refused at TCUAuburn signs former Cal QB Sam Jackson V as a WR
al.com on MSN.com|7 hours ago
In a fascinating late Wednesday night addition, Auburn announced the signing of former Cal quarterback Sam Jackson V as a wide receiver out of the transfer portal. Jackson faced Auburn in the second game of the 2023 season and threw for 129 yards and two interceptions against Auburn's defense in Berkeley. Auburn won the game 14-10 on Sept. 9.

I can believe they're right. Either way, we're going to find out.

I say bring him on!!
Seals had a 130 passer rating this year, which is a little under the ranking’s median. Hoover was a little better. Slightly over the 133.5 median, but he could easily improve by not forcing some of his throws.
When you take into account that 50% of Seals’ passes were thrown against top 20 teams with a huge talent advantage, he might be ready to put up some improved stats with a better supporting cast.

Nope, not wrong!
Every decision is a roll of the dice.
It’s possible Jefferson could get us a big reward with a couple more wins and even a CCG berth.
It’s also possible he could fall short, and we‘d be left with only Hejny at QB in 2025.
Maybe a Ouija board would help.

Reality is hard. He wanted a chance, got it at Cal, and did not perform that well.

And everyone would've said the same thing about Boykin before it clicked for him. If he would've switched to WR like was recommended, we wouldn't have had those two amazing seasons.

On3 is showing Jefferson as 100% to UCF, for whatever that actually means these days.

Makes good sense.
Jefferson in a Malzahn offense could be just what they need.
UCF has had 2 pretty good recruiting classes in a row. This year UCF’s per player recruiting grades were better than TCU’s.

Intriguing!
I read where he has visits to S.C. & UCF already set. Well SC is where Malachi was favored to go & UCF is Jefferson. It also said he was thinking about a visit to TCU. Considering the competition he’s facing at those locations, maybe we could be his best path forward.

Rowser has had an interesting path so far. Originally committed to Michigan out of HS but switched to Arkansas (TCU alum Sam Carter was his recruiter). Sam left to go to ole miss and on signing day Rowser switched to Campbell U (yes there is such a school and their mascot is a Camel). He was an Freshman All-American there and then transferred to NMSU.

Or if your NIL collective could afford to blow $1.5M on a celebrated grad transfer who didn't make you any better than you were with Tyler Buchner, like Notre Dame.

These big money schools can now buy their way out of their mistakes, so they can take risks that smaller schools can’t.
Smaller schools like TCU cant just go buy players, so their talent planning has to be nearly perfect to compete at a really high level against these state schools.
And I think the best way to compete is to allocate the $ to the more low profile positions that in the end matter the most (other than QB). Lineman.

I mostly agree. It’s college! Kinda sucks that a few athletes seem to always get the lion’s share. College teams should more fairly share the spoils.
10 years ago when many people were saying, “we should pay these players”, I doubt this is what they had in mind.
