    Chuckie Keaton to Oregon State

    Keaton considering transfer to OSU

    Still unclear if he would graduate this spring to be eligible to transfer, but if he was the move would make a lot of sense. The coach that recruiting him & made him who he was. Not to mention his position coach at USU is now at OSU. Unfortunately, I think Chuckie's best days playing QB might be behind him. Not sure he comes back to the same level he was before. Not after two major injuries.

    Thoughts?

    Edit: I'd just like to add that Chuckie Keaton seems to be of great character & wish him the best with whatever he decides.

    Whatever else might be said about this, I think it's mainly Gary being desperate. He's got to get some players on his roster and is reaching out wherever he can to find them.

There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    Gary just lost a four-year starter at QB that will go in the top 3 rounds of the NFL draft and you're calling him desperate? I'd say he's batshit stupid if he doesn't reach out to a guy that played and excelled under him. What better bridge could he have to when he gets a full recruiting year under his belt?

    It certainly is an interesting move. Is OSU's RB back? I mean, if he is, that's a decent 1-2 punch if they go straight read option.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    It can be a smart move and still be desperate. He needs a QB badly.

    The cupboard seems to be pretty bare. I wonder if that is one of the reasons Riley jumped to Nebraska.

    Desperate would be getting Adam Schulz.

    If doesn't get Keeton, he might consider a Schulz caliber QB.

    This next year will be a rough one for OSU. Good luck to GA.

    Coming off of back to back season ending injuries is going to be tough to overcome.

    Have to say this isn't fair to Schulz. We never got to see what he could really do.

    Mark my words, he'll do well at Houston.

    If Keaton is even half the QB he was before his injury, OSU will have a substantially better QB than Utah. I don't see the criticism of OSU coming from Ute fans.

    So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

    For me, it's mostly just hope. But we were better than OSU this year, and many people think OSU will be worse next year.

    You do realize that Wilson had a better QBR than Halliday, Mannion and Solomon?

    He's not as bad as Ute fans say he is. He also played last year with an OC that didn't want him playing.

    Also, don't forget DC was the same guy that didn't play Booker until the third game. The same guy who ran his hurry up offense into a loss vs freaking WSU.

    DC wasn't the most flexible guy and didn't adapt well.

    Yeah, Wilson ain't Tom Brady, but he isn't terrible either. He is a solid college QB.
