McCarthy is about three years younger than Penix and Bo Nix, who are the two guys he will probably be closest to in draft rankings. I like Penix of that group but the case for McCarthy is that he has more upside I suppose.
Reminder that the Gophers had 19 transfers out last year: https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/official-2023-roster-movement-thread-whos-in-and-whos-out.108980/
10 at this point isn't super unusual, but we'll see how many more guys leave.
Bachmeier doesn't like Fleck which is why he didn't come here, he's not good enough to play in the Big 10 anyways though. He'll probably go to Stanford and be a backup to play with his brother.
People always equate physical tools to how good a QB can be. They saw that AK had better tools and just assumed he'd be more effective, which he's clearly not. There's so much more to QB play.
