I said cu wouldn't win another game after the hawaii win last year and nailed it. Step your game up!
I would have given you more credit for that but I was too pissed off that you were right.

As was I, so many close losses too...
Should have read between the lines with all the talk about Awini switching to offense. On the surface, it made little sense. Now, it makes perfect sense.
Also no word of Gherke leaving, which many of us expected.
So a QB depth chart with Webb, Gherke, Awini, Noyer (RS) and "maybe" Sefo.
We better hope Webb can make it through the year unhurt, because it looks like a pretty big drop after that.

Where is Montez?
Montez will be ahead of Gherke
Yeah. I Just forgot him for some reason. Not thinking about order on the chart itself. I agree that Montez will likely be the first backup unless Awini just blows everybody's doors off.
White looked like a player, tough to lose him.
Center was a physical specimen who never turned into a player. He was worth the risk though since had he turned out he could have been a difference maker. His other offers show that other staffs felt the same.
Apsay wasn't going to compete to start but would have been nice insurance. That said if we get to a point where we would have had to have him we are already in deeper trouble than we can handle anyways.
Interested to see what we can do with special packages with Awini. Recent years we have been terrible in short yardage/red zone. Maybe with Awini we can be more effective there while forcing opponents to spend time prepare for one more thing.

This will help a lot, but it's something they have to practice, practice, practice and actually use in games prior to Pac 12 play in order for it to work. I truly believe that this added dimension at QB, by Arizona, is what lost us that game last season. Hopefully we can return the favor this year.
Since White played as a true Fr. and Soph. he will be able to use his RS year and still have two years to play.
Good landing spot for him.

Well that sucks. He'll be missed as veteran depth.
no surprise there, but would have been nice to have him.
Silver lining, more potential spots just opened in the 2017 class.
You must mean that a current grey shirt from 2016 could come in now. Anyone in particular?
No. Was more referring to the fact that we can over sign our 2017 class of 25, if we have some players that can early enroll.

What happened? Seems like a big loss of speed
Moving home to be closer to his longtime GF and 5mo old daughter. Choosing being a father over football. While it is a loss for us, big kudos to him.

Gotcha, agreed.
It's better for us I suppose to get this news now rather than later down the road? Lose his scholarship in 16 class but opens a new one for 17?
