Hill’s completion percentage here was about the same as his completion percentage at CSU. So either the WRs are just terrible every time he sees the field or the wobble he throws impacts the ability to make the catch.

Good players make those around them better.
As for the FCS transfers, we'll see. I'm sure they aren't thinking of that guy as competing for the starting job. Just need some bodies in the QB room at this point and it seems RH has moved on.
There is a reason why guys who are good enough to make the NFL stayed with their teams and kept doing what they were doing instead of transferring up to FBS.
The portal has changed the transfer game, so your statement doesn't hold a lot of water. BTW Vernon Adams transferred from Eastern Wash to Oregon, and had some good success.
The guy can throw and the receiver can catch, here is where we see if the staff can develop them into an SEC caliber talent. This is where Muschamp failed horribly. We will see early with this staff because of the players we are getting in the portal. They are decent players but can we develop them into the talent we need to compete in the SEC. Let's go Beamer you got this. We hungry
This whole thing is about player development, look at how many 4* and 5* a team gets a year. They have to rely on the 3* also. Every team has 3* stars, you have to be able to coach them and develop them. No team is getting 25 - 4* and 5* to fill there rosters. The game is develop this is where stars are made, in development.
The QB is likely back up, but the WR may see PT. If the WR can catch and make plays, then we need him.
Let's hope he has some speed.
If he can catch a football consistently , he’s ahead of almost everyone we have coming back......
I wish this were true....or else we would just take anyone, and Bama would just take anyone and we would all be even.
I gotta be honest...I had to look up St. Francis. I am pretty familiar with a lot of programs...and have never heard of it. I see who they play. I was not happy with our recent additions on offense for obvious reasons seen on the field....and I am positive that those guys who have already played for USC as transfers from much smaller schools/less competition played better competition on gamedays and just to get on the field/practice at their former schools.
This is a scary thought. I would definitely like to know why in the blue h#ll we keep going up north for skill guys? I had to watch OSU never adjust to motions in the NC game all night long on defense....and they're king of the hill up north. You have to openly wonder that OSU coaches felt like their adjustments would expose more than one mismatch...and opted for the "one" mismatch. I am guessing Sacred Heart and Central Connecticut aren't able to do more defensively than OSU. We play in the SEC. I'm worried.
Here we go....out of the 10,000 D2/D3 QBs the sunshine pumpers bring out the 2-3 guys that have succeeded recently.
I will help you out.....of course it can be done. Don't know if Morehead State was D2 when Phil Simms played there, but throw him in there. Put Romo in there. Walter Payton, Jerry Rice....throw them in there. Let's just use the top 100 players of all time to make that arugment instead of the 99.999999% of all other D2/3 guys that didn't pan out in the NFL.
We can only compare D2/D3 QBs from the 2010 to present (internet age)...it's hard to hide talent nowadays. Still with your 3 mentioned.....there are about 1,000 examples in the last ten years that counteract that argument. The paid SB army is in rare form with this spin.
A few of our guys would not have started on their team last season. We need all the help we can get. A bunch of stud NFL guys come from FCS schools. Do a quick search it will amaze you. Don't be the guy that buys the ugly uncomfortable shoes just because of the name on the side of them.
Roughly 3% of NFL players came from the FCS. There were 13 FCS players drafted in 2019. So, yeah, it is possible to make it to the NFL from the FCS, but it's hardly a breeding ground.
That being said, we don't need NFL talent. That's irrelevant to the discussion.

What a sorry POS- dragging kids who want to commit to play here and help us win. Idiots like you make our whole fan base look bad.
Agree...maybe one or two of them can help us win some games. Expecting more is not rational.
If anyone was wondering if FCS guys contribute when they transfer to FBS

Of course, like any recruit/transfer it is a mixed bag, but many do contribute!
How Did 2019 FCS-to-FBS Transfers Perform?
The number of FCS-to-FBS transfers increased this year with more standout talent leaving. Here's a look at how the 2019 transfers performed.

You mean like Jerry Rice and Randy Moss were at smaller schools. They did ok.
Would you rather have failed power 5 athletes who have entered the transfer portal hoping for a chance to play somewhere else, or a kid who has excelled in the FCS who may not have gotten the offers out of high school for any number of reasons? I am not a sunshine pumper, nor do I think that every kid that we offer is a ”diamond in the rough.” But... I think that a student who has proven that they can win can come in with a different attitude rather than coming in defeated or thinking that they have drawn the short straw. Coaches in the FCS are also responsible for developing talent, maybe more so than bigger schools because they often get leftovers or students with less raw talent or size.
I understand that some of these P5 transfers may have Had coaching changes or may not have fit into the Scheme at their former school, however most are not. Most are in the portal because they didn’t produce and therefore didn’t play.
Just some thoughts, not trying to be confrontational. What do you think?
Bwahahahahahahahaha. First time I’ve ever been accused of being a “sunshine pumper”. Never said it wasn’t rare only that it does happen. Since I don’t see this being a guy brought in to replace our starter (like we just watched) I’m okay with him coming in for depth. Right now we have 1 guy on campus with experience on any collegiate level at QB. Bringing a guy in for depth and practice reps is never a bad thing.

Eh. Look I was opposed to the Muschamp hire from the start and didn’t really expect much this time around since Tanner was still involved. I find the Beamer hire an interesting choice but finally seeing all of these failed Muschamp coaches moving on and bringing in guys who haven’t been passed around the SEC like a joint at a frat party is intriguing.
I also don’t think outside of QB and DB (which are huge positions) that we are really that bad off in terms of talent. I believe that we do have some guys that just need coaching and I don’t think we have had a single guy that actually knew how to do that under Muschamp.
Hopefully Justin Stepp will do his job well and he won‘t need 6 seconds to get a pass off.
Film on the QB looks good, he has a really quick release which is needed with our OL.
You must not have watched our DL play this year. They are just plain pitiful. They are terrible against the run and get zero pressure on the QB when passing. Plus we also lost the only real SEC LB we had on the team. This team is choc full of holes where we are lacking in talent. This is going to be a huge uphill battle for Beamer to overcome.
We got talent, a lot of it young and under utilized. Burch should have played a lot more. He flashed almost every time he was on the field.
Actually Enagbare and Kier Thomas had nice seasons (when Kier was healthy). A few of the young guys made good plays when given a chance also. DL is one of the few potential bright spots going into next season IMO.

Yeah because previously they would have had to sit out a year
Why would we not take all conference players from the FCS at two positions we need depth at?
The qb looks like he may be a serviceable backup, and he does have college football experience. At 6’8”, the wr may prove to be a gem. Especially on 50/50 passes and in the red zone.
I guess criticism is part of the terrain, but I'm giving everything the benefit of the doubt - for 3 years. If this doesn't work out we will know by then or possibly before.
Go Gamecocks.
Go Gamecocks.
I think our OL did a fantastic job blocking last year honestly- RUN blocking. The pass blocking was below average I guess but a large part of that comes from QBs not having open guys to throw to... IOW, SKILL POSITION GUYS. I don’t care if our OL was giving the QB a full minute to stand back there and look downfield, if nobody is getting separation, or if the WRs drop it when be puts the ball on them, it is useless. We have GOT to get better receivers.
Both Enagbare and Thomas were undersized to play in the interior. Thomas was fine last year when he had Javon Kinlow beside him. Without the presence of a big space eating DT, he was manhandled on many occasions. We almost never had a DLineman on the field that weighed 300 lbs or more. If this is a bright spot Lord help us. I don't want to know what the dark spots are.
I said I wasn't happy with how things have went. I have no choice but to hope for the best. If everyone is honest they are doing the exact same thing.

We had one of the worst oline coaches in the country last year. I suspect this will turn quickly with any actual coaching the unit gets.
