zigo230 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I didn't see a thread yet for this. Never too soon to start ranking the candidates. Looks like Kolston Brewster has decided to transfer. He probably knew that he wouldn't get any playing time at UB. So unless I'm missing someone that leaves the following QB's to battle it out. Kyle Vantrease Dominic Johnson Matt Myers Trevor Bycznski (true freshman) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotaryfield bleachers Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I had to coach against Matt Myers at two different schools during his high school career, once as an 8th grader (at which time he may have already been the best qb in buffalo) and then as a senior. He is without a doubt one of the best QB prospects I've seen in a long time. I'm really looking forward to watching him at UB. Good arm, savy kid, and I've seen him just truck a number of players while running his RPO packages....I really think he is going to be something special 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verandaman Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 It will be fun to get a look at them at the spring game...will Bycznski be on campus? It would be great to see a true open competition and see who rises to the occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RecoveringHillbilly Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Paul Peck's thoughts on Tyree and the next man up here. Peck mentions grad transfer as an option, but unless it is a Jalen Hurts or Brandon Wimbush from ND, meh, I say stick with our players. 2019 will look stable compared to other questionable QB years. Licata and Tyree had to play above their heads as R-Fr. Licata had to play under 4 different offensive coordinators. Willy was thrown to the wolves as a true Fr. Vantrease will be in his 3rd sping practice, a true Jr, with the same offense. I think it's his job to lose unless Myers just wows moving the offense.

RecoveringHillbilly Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Reports are that Hurts has visied The U, Oklahoma, Maryland, and USF. Wimbush is mostly likely going to Penn St, also visited UCF. Vegas betting odds have us at 20/1 to grab him. Looking at our returners: Vantrease 5 GP/1 Start 29-66 375 yds 2TD/2Int. ~150 offensive plays. Sacked 6 times last year, better in 2018. Not a runner. Led scoring drives in all games but NIU last season. His best passes were: 11 yd TD to Mabry (Mabry's 1st career TD) 8 yd TD to A.J. 47 yd to A.J. 43 yd to Nunn 37 yd to Holsey Johnson played 4 games. 1-2, 1 Int. Under 25 offensive plays. Myers played less than 10 plays. Had his awesome read option TD run called back. Edited January 14, 2019 by RecoveringHillbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vantrease is the leader as of now I'd assume, but I would not be shocked if it is someone else who wins the job to start the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChicagoBull Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I wonder if we will get any indications of what the coaches are thinking about QB prior to Spring practice. For instance, does it matter which QB coach was part of their recruitment? Position coaches tend to favor their own recruits, whereas the head coach may have a longer term view.

Eagles1105 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 It will either be Vantrease or Myers. I’d give the nod to Vantrease to start the season. Vantrease should still be a RS Sophmore due to the new rules. If you noticed during the season, Leipold would put Dom Johnson in for mop up duty because he was trying to redshirt Vantrease this year because he couldn’t last year. It’s not because Johnson was the primary backup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RecoveringHillbilly Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Leipold said yesterday that yes, Vantrease has redshirted last season, now a R-Soph. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
