The latest news, Vernon Adams transferring from Eastern Washington. Jeff Lock to back up. They have Ty Griffin, Taylor Alie, Morgan Mahalak, and Travis Waller on the roster. Maybe you need to take another look. If I have this right you will arrive behind 4 other QB's.

It doesn't really change anything. Adams will only be there for one year, and it really changes nothing beyone that. Seth is a 2016 recruit. At minimum, he's not seeing time until after a red-shirt year, anyway. Nobody will remember Adams' name by the time Seth Green would see the field, at the earliest.

However, I do agree that Seth is in a tough spot, and he has to think about transferring. Waller signing was the tipping point though, not Adams.
 

He's playing in Texas as a senior in HS. He's moved on;forget about him
 

If he truly is going to play in Texas, then Texas, LSU, Texas AM, TCU, and maybe Oklahoma would be worth a look.
 



How would the gophers ever be able to land a two star recruit with all of the 3 stars we have stock piled here? ;) Seriously though, there would way, way more parody in college football if recruits actually thought like that. I can see an argument be made for a kid like OSU commit Joe Burrow who is a high 3 star/low 4 star to look elsewhere as OSU has the 3 main QBs next year, a 4th who is on scholarship and a 5 star committed in his same class but Seth is a good player. Definitely in the same boat rankings wise as the two QBs signed before him. He has just as good of a chance to be a 2 year starter as Mahalak or Waller when they signed IMO.
 

I'll take Demry Croft! He's just as talented and he wants to be at Minnesota!

This. I'm all for MN kids but when a MN kid chooses to go elsewhere then leave out.

I'd take that bet. No chance
 



Seth green wasn't the best high school quarterback in minnesota last season.

100% agreed. That award went to the guy from MSU-Mankato.

lol, that guy from Mankato, Schlichte, went from being rated a 4 star to a DII player in a year. I thought we had put the Schlicte hype behind us and were done with it. Guess not.
 

Let me guess, you guys think Cornell will be the next Willie Mobley too.
 





I didn't bring this up to say he should stay home, or that we need him, or even want him. Only of all the schools to choose he was not looking with his eyes wide open. There are several Huge Helmet schools who desperately need a QB who can complete a pass consistently. That's all they truly need. I think of LSU or say Florida as prime examples.
 

Very few kids take into consideration who their competition is going to be at said school. If you get an offer from Oregon as a QB, you're a really good player and you believe you can start over anyone.

I've watched Seth Green live quite a bit. I'm sold on him as a good D-1 prospect, but not a star. His tendency is to put up gaudy numbers against bad-to-mediocre competition, and he usually looks pretty average against good teams. Not to mention he has had a lot of other talented players on offense around him. Regardless, he's not even a Minnesota kid anymore and the staff has already had 6 months to evaluate other junior QBs, so we should have plenty of other options.
 

What I find the most odd, is that a transfer from Eastern Washington is Oregon's best option at QB next year. This is not saying that good/great players cannot come from these smaller schools but, as is being discussed in this thread, Oregon always is stocked with highly rated recruits at the QB position.

I'm not trying to be a dick, but this may be a good 'teachable moment.' The word you were looking for is 'parity' not 'parody.' This was probably just an honest mistake, but I thought I'd do you the service of pointing it out in case it wasn't. (this, of course, is all predicated on me not misunderstanding your point about the comedic routines of college football teams).

Of course he wants to play here, were his only offers!

They aren't saying he will be the starter. He will compete like everyone else. That said, the dude was really good at EWU so I'm sure he'll have a great chance
 

Oregon recruited Seth to be an athlete. **Cough-Cough**...... I mean a Quarterback.

Anyone whohas seen Seth Green play knowshe'sthe best QB in the state. Those newspaper awards don't mean jack. I watched Seth Green at the Gophers summer camp before his SOPHOMORE year of high school and he was the best QB there before Perra, Wilkie, and Dimonic who were going to be seniors. He was offered that week by Louisville and later the Gophers. So don't tell me the Mankato kid is a better QB.

However, I don't think Oregon is going to work out for him in terms of becoming a starter at any position. I do think he will regret not staying home in a few years.

He is really overrated as an athlete IMO. His longest run in his hudl is about 20 yards and he really ins't that much of a dual threat at all to me. Not very dynamic. He is definitely being recruited because of his arm in which he has a cannon. Exact same thing can be said about Kamal Martin too for that matter I believe.

That's the great thing about the GopherHole, i.e. English is not required. Actually nothing is really required. You can say anything without have any real knowledge about the subject. Isn't America a great country!
