xu9697 {l Wrote}:What's the "verdict" so far on Sam Johnson being someone that can compete next year? Seems like he had a good offer list, nice size, 3 star recruit, etc. Would a good OC/QB coach be able to get him rolling for 2020? I see little mention of him in the future, so is he forgotten candidate or does he just not move the meter too much for those that have seen him warming up (which can tell a little but not a lot) and/or those in the know about how he looks or how he is mixing in @ BC?

this is not accurate
speaking of accuracy, only 25% of the games where grosel got majority of snaps did he complete 50% of his throws
anthony completed at least 50% of his throws every game this year
nice story and seems like a good kid, but shouldn't be starter at a p5 school

He should switch to WR... he seems athletic enough to get some run there as a 4th WR on the field. Reportedly might play baseball for BC so he must have good hands.
Dick Rosenthal {l Wrote}:Phil Jurkovec has entered the transfer portal and from what I have seen on the Notre Dame boards, the fans are livid and it is another indictment against Kelly as a coach of QBs. Big kid, fast and with a good arm (albeit a hinky 3/4 throwing motion). Is getting his degree from ND at the end of this spring, but has three years of eligibility left (got his ND degree in 3 years and was RS for one year). Broke all of Dan Marino’s PA QB records and accomplished the unheard of feat of leading his public school to the 6A state title beating Pittsburg Central Catholic and St Joe’s Prep in the tournament. He was also an All State basketball player.
From what I am hearing from ND folks, Kelly prefers system QBs to run his idiotic and complex scheme and that Jurkovec was never given any opportunity to compete with Book, despite being faster and having a much better arm because he was more apt to freelance. Was really only allowed to play in garbage time and was only allowed to throw the ball a couple of times—but in limited action threw a few impressive long throws.
Kid is apparently a devout Catholic and, based on getting his degree in 3 years at ND, can handle an academic load. Might be worth making a call. Even in the limited time I saw him play, he is far superior to AB and the various and sundry Ivy League and D3 talents we currently have on our roster.

Is this true? He played in 2 games in 2018 (wound up as his redshirt year) and a handful of games in 2019. So, he would have to somehow be graduating in 2 years. Otherwise, he will need a waiver (ala Fields).

He’s visiting - they have an article up.
[Former four-star Notre Dame quarterback Phil Jurkovec could find a new home quickly.
A few days after entering the NCAA transfer portal, sources said the one-time Gibsonia (Pa.) Pine-Richland standout began a weekend visit to Boston College, which is allowed given a provision in NCAA recruiting rules that allows an on-campus visit since the school begins classes Monday, even though it is an NCAA dead period.
Jurkovec would be a huge pickup for new Boston College coach Jeff Hafley after Eagles quarterback Anthony Brown entered into the portal a few weeks ago.
When signing with Notre Dame out of high school, the 6-foot-5, 215-pound Jurkovec was the No. 4 dual threat quarterback and No. 83 prospect in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite class of 2018 rankings.
Jurkovec was also a prolific player at the western Pennsylvania school. He threw for 8,202 yards and 71 touchdown passes in his career. He completed 68.4 percent of his throws and also rushed for 2,942 yards.
However, getting on the field at Notre Dame was difficult.
Jurkovec saw spot duty as a freshman. He played in two games and attempted two passes (both were incomplete). He also ran twice for nine yards.
As a sophomore, Jurkovec played in six games. He completed 12 of 15 for 222 yards and two touchdowns. He ran 22 times for 130 yards.
Notre Dame coach Chip Kelly addressed Jurkovec’s development during the season as even Ian Book excelled as Notre Dame's starter.
"I think that Phil has gotten better and will continue to get better, and he's challenging Ian every single day, even if you guys don't see it,” Kelly said in October. “Just because he's ‘No. 2’ doesn't mean he's not challenging Ian and making him better every day in practice.
“We think that he is better as a football player and a quarterback than when camp started. We just hope that continues to move in the right direction and we're pretty confident that it will. He hasn't played a lot of real football. It's been a lot of practice football. It's an incredible game, right? You practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, and then you play only 12 games.
“He's practiced a lot and hasn't played a lot in college. So, he's really missing that college (experience), which is faster, and so, that's really all he's missing right now. In practice he looks pretty good, but it's getting to that point where he actually plays in some of the games and making those quick decisions, changing protections, making some quick decisions. Those are the things that he's going to have to continue to work on.”
Jurkovec can use his first season as a red-shirt, so if he is able to secure a waiver from the NCAA to play in the 2020 season, he would have three years of eligibility remaining.

Oliver Closeoff {l Wrote}:Grosel should gain 20 lbs and move to fullback. Fullback is like the island of misfit toys. You usually have LBers that are too slow, DE and TE that are too small and QBs who want to get on the field anyway they can.
