If Ewers wins the staring QB job for Texas in 2022 he'll have a pretty good RB and WR too.



then we'll find out how good he really is on (2nd game of the season) 10 Sep 2022 when Alabama comes to Austin.

The fact is that Ewers made an assessment that he would not be able to beat out CJ Stroud for the QB position and maybe even others in the room. He quit and many people will feel that says a lot about him.

I'm not going to speak badly about a kid who did what he could do legally. It was foolish to give a kid more than a million dollars to come to Ohio State without some guarantee he would stay at least two years, in my opinion. If some kid won't sign on for that, you don't want him. Is he an alumnus of Ohio State, officially, yes, but in name only in my opinion. Do I wish him ill? Not at all. Do I care whether he succeeds? Why would I?

I bear the kid no ill will. Like I said, he played the system and had no intention of staying at OSU. He was here only to get the NIL money. Once he was eligible to get it in Texas, he went back.

I mean, he came to a school with two 4* QBs and one 5* QB most of whom had 2 years already in the program and expected to win the job as a High School senior? People - CJ is gone after next year when Ewers would be RS Freshman with the chance to win the starting job as a RS Sophomore. The NIL money is there. If he won the starting job and had a Haskins like year he could leave after 1 year. What about that massive QB recruit Texas is supposed to get? No competition there?

And in 4-5 months he decided "no way"? Lol, OK

TCU football wasn’t the ‘best fit’ for QB Quinn Ewers, Sonny Dykes says

“I had a recruiting obligation I had to be at," Dykes told the Star-Telegram. "It was really the only time they could schedule it. They met with a number of coaches. Based on conversations, we just felt it was a better fit somewhere else.”

Not having Dykes attend the meeting could be viewed as odd to outsiders. Ewers was the nation’s No. 1-ranked recruit for 2021 and Dykes is known for his ability to develop quarterbacks. Among those who played under Dykes include Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, the top overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft coming out of Cal. But Dykes sounds comfortable with what TCU’s quarterback room will look like in the coming years. Max Duggan and Chandler Morris are expected to stay with the program, and Dykes has shown a knack for landing quarterbacks in the portal such as the quarterbacks he coached at SMU including Shane Buechele (Texas) and Tanner Mordecai (Oklahoma). Ewers will not join that list but others might.

As Dykes said of Ewers, “We just didn’t think it was a good fit.” Still, the portal has plenty of QB talent in it and TCU is evaluating it constantly. USC’s Kedon Slovis, Texas A&M’s Zach Calzada and Auburn’s Bo Nix became the latest quarterbacks to enter the portal on Monday. More will likely follow.

sounds like Dykes and the TCU boosters were not willing to engage in an NIL bidding war to land Ewers.

One thing that perhaps hasn't been considered: Ewers took a scholly away from someone, maybe someone who really wanted to be a Buckeye. Now that person is somewhere else. Maybe it didn't matter, but maybe it did.

Did he? If I had to guess there might have been a walk on that didn't get a scholarship this fall because Quinn decided to graduate HS early. If anything there might have been another QB that was looking at tOSU and changed his mind after Quinn committed, but that wouldn't be an impact until January at the earliest. Quinn wasn't supposed to start here until January so what would have happened in the fall if they were already at the limit? "Sorry we can't give you a scholarship until January."
