    Next year's QB?

    Who is in the pipeline to start at QB next year?

    Almost certainly Harris. I guess Homlberg is the dark horse but I'd guess he plays backup one more year.

    It will be interesting to see if Duke pursues any of the grad-student-transfer options.

    Cut's history at Duke suggests not. But Cut has never had to replace a QB of Jones' stature, not at Duke.

    Crossed my mind too. Who is on your radar as far as grad transfer QBs?

    Also, I'd also like to see what QH can do with a steady gig. He does a few things really well....things you can't coach like speed and long ball...while his erratic throws on short and medium throws seems coachable. I've no idea what kind of decision maker he is.

    Harris impressed me with his play against Baylor once he actually practiced with the starters. Cut's MO is usually to put the QB heir apparent into a limited play package rather than having 2 seniors. You could make a persuasive argument for free agent seniors in several other positions before QB.

    I am comfortable with Harris, he showed poise and great leadership. He has stepped in to difficult circumstances and performed admirably,

    If someone can beat him out, well — go for it. But I doubt we will see a first-time starter against Alabama.

    Agree 100% with this. Harris did a fine job for the most part, and unless we get a great transfer, I don't see anyone better to start.

    Offensive tackle and wide receiver immediately come to mind.

    I've wondered the same thing. This is a unique situation which could make for some unique opportunities.

    My money is on Harris with someone in the Connette package.

    Agreed, though I wish that "package" would get lost in the mail....

    Yes, you can. Have you seen some of those imposters out there?

    You, of course, are fine. All 14 of you.

    Here's an interesting article about a 4-star from Mississippi who is a Georgia commit (kinda).

    Word is that he is making a visit to Duke.

    I didn't find out about this on my own..Shout out to you know who.

    4-star QB commit John Rhys Plumlee is still a Bulldog …… for now

    I saw Cutcliffe retweeted him after Christmas and thought it was interesting. We have a Singler working with the football team, why not a Plumlee playing for it?
