It looks like he was clocked at a 4.5 with his workout at Alumni, which would make him faster than his father. With Amidon graduating, any receiver that can do anything will be needed. He holds the all time Mass record for most T passes thrown.

I believe that Flutie will get a legitimate shot at quarterback and not be shifted to "athlete" or WR until he proves he can't play QB - or Wade proves he is head and shoulders above Flutie.
I don't think that there is any chance that he gets a shot at QB other than lip service. I'd be willing to bet that they already can project the QB depth chart for next year, and I am guessing Flutie is listed right under the spot that says "WR", where he will be a big help.

Supposedly, he will enroll in January.

Yes, Flutie is a WR. I'd also comment that it is a said state of affairs that the program was left in that this wasn't done as a matter of course.

Thanks for the response TW.
That really wasn't the discussion point when Flutie was signed. Your (and others), premise was that Flutie was signed as an athlete/WR - would go immediately to that slot on the roster - and would have no/almost trial at QB.
My assertion that he was signed as a QB and would have a chance to show what he can do there. If he fails or Wade is great he will likely shift - but he was signed as a QB and will have the normal chance at that position.

Do you think Flutie gets initial run at QB?

I expect him to be at WR by the time they break camp. That was my original point about "lip service". If he stays a year at QB, he's redshirting.

My point was - no one knows at this point if he can play QB at BC - but the staff thinks it is worth giving him a legit shot at QB and is excited to see him there (because they feel he has "it"). My recollection of your and others point was - he gets no shot and goes directly to WR - without passing throw
