1) When final you learn these ideas, Missouri had not taken a quarterback out of the switch portal. That modified on Friday when former Miami sign caller Jake Garcia committed to Mizzou. Garcia’s addition is fascinating on just a few ranges. First, let’s simply discuss what it means for the QB competitors. Garcia and Sam Horn will cut up reps in spring soccer (which might be solely about six weeks away). Then Gabarri Johnson will hit campus in June. And sooner or later earlier than fall camp (I do not know precisely when) Brady Cook ought to be wholesome. It is not life like to suppose Johnson is a significant a part of the dialog this yr. So it is actually a three-way competitors between Garcia, Prepare dinner and Horn. There are arguments to be made that every one three might have an edge:
Prepare dinner–Expertise. And if nothing else, Eli Drinkwitz has proven he likes to lean on expertise
Horn–He is been the longer term for a pair years now. He is all the time been the one which was alleged to be the centerpiece of Drinkwitz’s rebuild
Garcia–He is the brand new man. You do not usher in transfers for no purpose. And he was the highest-rated of the three out of highschool.I haven’t got a clue who will win the job. I simply hope we’re allowed to see a few of spring soccer to have the primary clue what any of them appear to be.
2) At the least one of many three virtually definitely will not be on Missouri’s roster subsequent season. That is saying nothing unhealthy about any of them and never attempting to push any of them out the door. However quarterback is the one place the place just one man performs (and we have realized during the last couple of years, it’ll take one thing monumental for a couple of man to play). All three need to begin. All three could be starters in school (say what you need, however Prepare dinner was a center of the highway sort SEC starter; he is usually a starter for a school soccer staff and even some Energy 5 groups).
If Prepare dinner wins the job: Is Horn prepared to attend one other yr? The fascinating factor is Prepare dinner even has a yr after THIS one. He was solely a redshirt sophomore this season.If Horn wins the job: Would Prepare dinner be prepared to stay round to be the backup? Most guys who’ve already been a starter and misplaced their job would not be.
If Horn wins the job, it just about means Prepare dinner is not going to begin once more in his profession right here barring damage. That is the one state of affairs the place you’ll take into consideration Garcia leaving as a result of Horn is youthful than him, so if Horn’s the starter, it would imply Garcia by no means can be. However he is already transferred as soon as, he’d must get a waiver to take action once more and the NCAA has mentioned it’ll be stingier with waivers. If he wished to switch once more, Garcia might need to drop down a degree.
If Garcia wins the job: Might Missouri lose Prepare dinner AND Horn? Similar state of affairs applies for Prepare dinner right here, however with Horn, that is now a man who is just one yr forward of him moderately than two. If Garcia’s your starter, Horn’s most likely ready till yr 4 to take over. That appears…uncertain to me.
3) No new gamers can enter the switch portal now till Might 1, besides for many who have already graduated.
