QBs? yeah we got some QBs

Alright so here's my plan for the QBs, we start Rettig under center and put Shinskie @ TE with Bordner and Marscovetra @ wideout and just run trick plays every down... they'll never know who's really going to throw the ball.

But realistically the QB situation is as convoluted as it was at this time last year, a possible front runner with a few others gunning for his spot.

Assuming the role of DD this year is Uncle Dave Shinskie. Shinskie is the clear frontrunner as he showed flashes of ability last year. While I wouldn't say that the position is his to lose he is the only player with experience and I think there might be a good QB in there somewhere. Here's the issue, if he doesn't progress this year he might find himself quickly replaced. Shinskie spent most of last season locking on to receivers and throwing off his back foot. He didn't show a great ability to read coverages and it didn't seem to improve throughout the year. Maybe there's a lack of commitment, I don't know, but if Shinskie doesn't show some coachability I think you might see someone else starting very soon.

Assuming the role of Justin Tuggle this year will be Marscovetra. He's got the experience now and seems to have some physical tools as he actually beat Tuggle for the backup spot before Tuggle transferred. He wasn't a big name coming in but since then he seems to have developed quite a bit of respect in the program.

This year's Dave Shinskie is Chase Rettig. The big solution to our QB situation Rettig is the biggest name QB to come into BC since recruitment became an online industry. It will be interesting to see if the recruiters are on to something or if they're full of hot air. We know he has a live arm but it will be interesting to see what else he has. I can't wait to see if he lives up to the hype.

This years Marscovetra: Josh Bordner. I'll be honest I put more stock than I should in the recruiting sites so I had pretty much written Bordner off. However Bordner only started playing QB and he's played pretty well. The news out of most seem to suggest that he throws a pretty ball but he's just very raw. After the Crab Bowl (All-MD All-Star Game) Rivals bumped Bordner up to a 3* prospect which actually is the same as Rettig (they are 1* and 4* respectively on ESPN, which only goes to show how much of a crapshoot these things can be.) I feel like Bordner could be a complete wild card.

I'm not even going to try to predict what will happen. However the similarities to Davis' problems last year suggest that Shinskie might improve enough to lock down the starting position (only to decide he doesn't want to go to class and eventually transfer to ECU...) Rettig and Bordner both enrolled early and Marscovetra could bring something to the table so instead of predicting our QBs I'll predict the three early enrollees #s

Chase Rettig will wear #11, it was his number in HS its what he wore at the UA game and with Megwa leaving the number will be available.
I have nothing on Bordner he wore #12 in HS which I'm pretty sure won't be available. traditional QB #s that will be available next year(assuming the school doesn't start allowing offensive/defensive same #s) are 6 7 8 11 18. I'm feeling like Bordner might take 18 so long as Gunnell is cool with it.
KPL wore 24 in HS and that won't be available. LBs can wear pretty much every number so its even harder to predict but the guys a beast so I'll say he rocks #99 (or maybe he'll take over # 7 from the spirit of Akins)
