I'm sure all of them can.
Well, can’t do a ton of designed run stuff for Lewis anymore.
Drew Carter one snap away from QB1 and we still have almost 3 weeks of camp left?? I know you can’t bubble wrap these guys, but Lewis needs to be given the Dak Prescott treatment and only doing stationary work on the field.
Wherever the buffs are thinnest is where the season ending injuries will strike. It is the way of the universe.
Good news: Lewis sounds like he showed out!

Shrout's news really sucks ass. I think Lewis was gonna start though. Better damn sure take care of him.
Greatest practice player in CU history?

Conrad Obi would like a word.
Transfer portal QB could not play this yr unless grad transfer.
They almost have to go find someone looking to be a Grad Transfer right? Like anyone who has taken a decent amount of meaningful snaps in a collegiate game.
Is this realistic? Seems like transfers want a chance to start.
Regarding the Transfer Portal, looking at the 247 portal page, there are something like 58 uncommitted QBs in the portal, so there should be a few that CU can look at, although most of them are listed as TBD on when they would be eligible to play. There are 11 3 stars (no 4 stars) listed as having “immediate” eligibility, although a certain number of the TBD QBs would probably have immediate eligibility, and there is 1 four star among those.
Of course, not all of them could qualify academically. Assuming that CU would want a dual-threat QB, there are few options listed as 3 stars with immediate eligibility:
Rhett Rodriguez. 6-1. Rich Rod’s son. Previous team AZ.
Keon Howard. 6-1. Previous team Southern Miss
A number of the QBs don’t specify whether they are pro style or dual-threat, and most are listed as pro-style.
Of the Pro-style QBS, the highest rated is Kevin Doyle, 6-4, previous team AZ.
There is also Devion Modster, 6-2, previous team Cal.
Also, Luke McAllister, 6-5, from Palmer Ridge here in Colorado, previously committed to CSU. Here is McAllister’s scouting report:
“Big frame with ideal length and physical tools. Room to add mass, but checks off all boxes from stature standpoint. Strong armed quarterback and seamless thrower. Comfortable in the pocket and steps into his throws. Keeps eyes down field to find open targets and does well to hit receivers in stride. Shows knack for putting touch on the ball. Can fit throws into tight windows. Looks far more at ease rolling to his right and could improve footwork, ability to escape pressure and throw on the run. Room to refine mechanics, particularly with quicker release. Potential multi-year starter at Division I level with chance to garner looks from NFL Draft scouts.”
McAlister bailed on CSU after one semester without playing a game. I don’t see any media reports as to why or what happened, and I don’t want to descend into the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is Ram Nation in order to see that those nincompoops had to say about it.
At any rate, it seems like CU would have a few guys to look at if they wanted to try to get someone from the portal.

They shouldnt have done Ciccarone so dirty.
As mentioned earlier most guys would have to sit out the year. Even if they didn't it would be tough to get them admitted on time then the issue of trying to teach them enough of the offense in this short a time to be of value.
Probably the best bet is to hope that Lewis stays healthy and get the freshmen as ready as you can. Beyond that would a last minute transfer be likely to give us a better result than our walk-ons.
Might be an opportunity though if they know of a guy who they liked but didn't end up signing with a D1 program that they could convince to walk-on instead of going JUCO.
And agree on Ciccarone, it would have been nice to have him around right now.
McAllister ain’t it, Chief.
Exact scenario I argued on here with Manhattan over and over as he was adamant that we needed to not bring Noyer back. Welp.
Well, he wanted Lewis to get all of the snaps last year, so he will get that wish this year!
You don’t bring back players who expect to start (and won’t) because you can conjure up the notion of a low probability fluke non contact injury to a better player.
