Spring Practice Competition

[ZibbyQuinn]

Yeah, he has the best 'arm talent', easily in fact. With Carr, it's like he's more trained from birth or something. So he's got the pedigree and maturity or the know-how. I don't want to overstate just how talented Minchey is, but he's the higher pure upside guy. But if Carr is more efficient, more assertive, more effective, and he's a plenty good pure passer himself, then he'll probably be the guy. He's not a bad athlete either. I don't even really think of Minchey as that athletic at all. I certainly wouldn't categorize him as 'dual threat'. I do wonder if Carr would transfer if Minchey won the job.

And I wonder if Talich will win a starting spot at S. He hundred percent looks the part of someone who starts out as a walk-on at like, Iowa, and becomes an A-A, or a high draft pick. I figured someone overlooked like that would end up at Iowa or Minnesota or something. But ND managed to get him. I want that same cinderella success story.

As far as OL goes, if we have a future 1st rounder in Lambert or Jagusah, let's put them at LT. Knapp can learn to play inside, that's an easy adjustment.

Would be shocked if Luke T doesn’t get a ton of PT this year. Although he’s not your walk on type at Iowa, had offers from Utah, Or St, Wa St

I guess that's true. I was thinking it was only like, 1-AA or G5. Like S Dakota St., or Wyoming. In any case, I hope he's the front runner to replace Xavier. Even though we got the transfer from VTech, who does seem like a good fit for the spot.

You like Jagusah better at left guard ? I thought Schrauth really blossomed there last year and Jagusah next to Wagner is very intriguing. Lambert is the wild card in my opinion. I think he makes the leap. Realistically if he was an early enrollee last year he likely gets the call over Knapp. Having a spring practice under his belt really benefited Knapp. His injury will likely limit his spring participation also. Otting likely to get most of the reps at center this spring I would think.

I’m good with him at right guard, wasn’t being picky there. You’re right though assume right guard for him.

That’s why I like Knapp working on snapping due to injury and being limited
