Perhaps that's a roster as of a certain date or something and they'll update as we get further into camp.
Given what we're all assuming with Dekkers, who do you want to start at QB?

Agree, if it's even close start Kohl, if you are going to recruit these high level guys we need to play them.
Campbell isn't going to tip his cap either way. Probably mostly because of the legal ramifications.
Dekkers didn't play good last year but he was behind an awful line. Everybody is writing him off. If suspended, hope minimal and he plays well after.

Bouman was South Dakota's best QB last year and will likely start this season. Why do you have an issue with someone going elsewhere for more playing time? The odds of a kid like Bouman getting to the NFL are probably much higher at a school where he can start and dominate than they are at a school where he might not ever take a snap. It would be cool if Tristan Michaud was his best WR this year.
Rocco had glowing 7 on 7 reports prior to arriving as well. Seems odd most want to anoint JJ the future.
Question is if Dekkers is suspended a few games and one of the other qb's step up. Hunter lose his starting job? Unless he's drastically better than last season we can do better, and there would be 3 more years of it. On top of it all he's supposed to be the team leader and he gets suspended breaking obvious NCAA rules? Hope he did us a favor and we have improvement at the position.
Because Bouman would be OUR starting QB right now had he been patient. Would have just delayed seeing the field by a year.
He didn't know that. Gotta get yours when you can.
Bouman and Dekkers were in the same recruiting class (2020) Once Dekkers won the job last year, the writing was on the wall for Bouman to move on. Lets say none of the gambling stuff happens. Bouman would have essentially been a second string quarterback for the rest of his college career, assuming Dekkers doesn't suck in his second year. At the time, Bouman transferring was the best for him if he wanted to play.
Hard to predict that the person in front of you is going to get suspended.
We don't know what those QBs are told and what their experience is vs. what they envisioned when being recruited.
If it's not a good fit for them, then they should go.
He has a nice arm, seems like a good guy but just couldn't find that finesse. So many missed passes to open guys in the flat....just tried to gun it at their ankles.
People keep hinting that he did something worse than gamble, but no one will just say what it is. What is it? Even the gambling thing is just speculation, technically.
If you aren't willing to share, then don't post **** like this. Period.
The JUCO QB is a clear indication the staff doesn’t think Kohl will be ready to play this fall too. He’s been on campus since January, the staff recruited the JUCO after spring ball. People need to pump the brakes on J.J. Kohl.
Disagree. There's a lot of scuttle that coaches (including NS) think Kohl is ahead of schedule.
How many college teams have just 2 QBs on their roster? This was a depth move based on the assumption that Dekkers was going to be unavailable and they needed 3 guys.

In addition to the QB situation, our RBs are a big question mark if we don't have Jirehl Brock. Eli Sanders hasn't really shown much of anything besides some mop-up time against Iowa. Norton has a long injury history which makes me question if we can rely on him (injured a lot in HS, last season and again this spring). Hopefully the transfer from Stanford can be somewhat reliable.
I agree with the bolded. But whatever happened to trusting the process and being a good teammate? It is just the reality of the me-first, must have it now, self-serving attitude of todays youth I suppose. Unless Dekkers was just head and shoulders better than Bouman which I find hard to believe, I don't know why you wouldn't just bide your time and see how it goes for a year. If Dekkers took the job and ran with it, that's fine. THEN transfer and still have, what, 3 years of eligibility to play somewhere? There were a lot of outcomes Bouman could have wound up being QB1 here. Injuries and suspensions are hard to predict and bank on, yes, but Dekkers struggled at times last year. It might have been nice to have another warm body in the room to possibly spell him or replace him, or at the very least put pressure on him in practice.
All I'm getting at is that transferring once you've 'lost the job' is kind of short sighted, albeit very common place anymore in todays game.
I think there has been an assumption made around here that Brock may not miss the full season, maybe even only 4 games. That would be great if that ends up happening.
