The key for Dane is can he be coached up. He will have some quality QB coaching so it is to seen. If he can be he will probably have the job for at least a year or more. If not then the job will go to some freshman probably. Hefley will compete with who ever is here. I see Rubley being moved to WR maybe.

Dane is similar to Nick Florence. Only RGIII was a true dual threat at Baylor. Florence and Petty were pass first QBs. Dane can do that. The reason he didn't run as much as he was not coached to do so correctly. Much of it is instinct and then athleticism. GJ had both and was able to run this style of offense superbly. Dane is more of a slinger, like Petty. But Baylor's offense is not pass happy. It's pretty balanced between pass and run. It's the formations, misdirection, and blocking schemes that creates the space and big plays. Dane really only needs to keep the ball about once every 7-8 read-run options to keep the DE honest. The reason GJ ran wild against Houston his last season was because their DE on the left was just dumb and couldn't stick to his assignment.
Look for Bishop Louie, Brewer, and James Flanders to be very productive. OL will need to be coached up and our WRs will need to be taught to block effectively (i.e. attacking their man at the point instead of waiting for them to get there). Should be interesting but I am excited to see Dane operate this offense with coaches who can teach this offense.

Look no further than OU and OSU to see 4* QBs who couldn't make the adjustment. Great to be excited but I would tap the breaks before we sit Dane on the bench. Dane with some good coaching and a QB friendly system could be very good IMO.

I predict Dane will be our opening day starting QB and will have a great year. Tag this thread and let's see whose right.

+1 Dane will light it up next year

 

[cmullinsTU]

I also think Dane is the starter next year, but Hefley and President, if he ends up here, will add FANTASTIC depth to the QB position.

Does Calcagni still fit in?

 

[cmullinsTU]

Calcagni graduated.

[kcarzoli]

He graduated but still has eligibility

 

[tuhurricane20]

Could Burgess still be in the mix. Tulsa world said he will be charged with a misdemeanor.

 

[kcarzoli]

Since he damaged school property I'm sure it's kinda up to the school and coach Monty

 

[TU_BLA]

It won't be up to Monty. Tough to put someone in the position to make a decision on the kid's future who wasn't even on campus when the incident occurred. I'm sure Dr. Gragg handles the athletic disciplinary measures on this one, and Dean Taylor will take the lead on the student affairs side.

Taylor is the worst employee on campus. She makes Blankenship look like Bill Belicheck.

Still not sure how Yolanda has kept her job with all the Title XI things that just happened under her watch. She is awful.

Only way we get a kid like this is if he thinks he has a shot to start. Dane was very erratic, not sold on him, even with new staff. My gut says Dane does not start next year.

They will start even in the spring and the best players will start. That's what will be fun to watch in a new system. No one has an advantage.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Monty's first commit will be a 4 star recruit. Pretty exciting, and something the Blankenship staff never did in 4 years.

Rob Boyd.

Sounds like President might start classes in January, which he intended to do at Baylor, and participate in spring ball.

Correct.

 

[T.U.HoopsFan]

According to the Twitter account of Chad President as of 9pm last night, he is going to commit on Christmas.

Come on Santa...bring us something good!!!

 

[cmullinsTU]

Thanks for correction duran, I had completely forgotten about Boyd.

I totally agree with the sentiment. But Blankenship had his moments.

Rippin - solid points and I didn't clarify my statement too well but I meant 4 stars straight out of HS and not transfers. Although I still managed to forget Boyd.

My main point is how exciting it is that Monty's first commitment will be a 4 star player.

[Rippin]

Absolutely!

 

[rabidTU]

If memory serves me - Rob Boyd and Petera Wilson were both 4 stars, but President would be the first 4 star "skill player" since Damaris Johnson/Shavadrick Beaver -------- I believe.

[CougarKing]

Don't be surprised if he ends up at UH.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Boyd was a 4 start.
Wilson was a 3 star.

Did Boyd play last year?

Yes Boyd played last year.

 

[kcarzoli]

Petera was a 4* on either scout, ESPN or 24/7 but not on rivals

 

[TU Hurricane Warning]

cougardork, don't be surprised when we whip your arses next fall.

I believe he was demoted from 4 star to three when rivals did their "mysterious" star system change last year. So now programs like TU have to "steal" a P5 recruit to get a 4 or 5 star kid. Like, hopefully, this one.

Don't be surprised when you wake up and realize it was a dream.

President to Tulsa was a done deal once Montgomery accepted the job. No soomer than Montgomery leaving Baylor did Coach Briles started pursuing Stidham again. He was not going to do so with Montgomery on board, President was and is a Montgomery project (so to speak).

I won't be surprised to see him playing at UH in the fall of 2016.

He'll be wearing a Tulsa uniform & leading TU to a big victory over Houston that day.

He will be at UH for one game every other year. You can come out and watch.

 

[HuffyCane]

Every kid is different, but Beaver was a 4 star that other coaches kept trying to recruit as a WR. Briles isn't a slouch. If he says WR, there must be something to it. Glad we got him. But he's still a high school recruit. Let's see him throw before we pencil him in as a four year starter against Houston.
