Hello: Jack Tuttle (QB transfer from Indiana)

"Likely transferring in for school / experience / Harbaugh exposure"

If you can join a team that's competing for titles, coached by one of the best in the business, AND get a Michigan grad degree, you take it.

The anti-Cardale Jones - "Why should we have to practice if we come here to go to CLASS, we ain't come to play FOOTBALL, practices are POINTLESS ".

Or MAYBE he's a style replacement for Jake Moody.

A picture I've seen suggests Tuttle's got a mustache. 

All right on the money. He will be third string and if a situation ever arises we get that far down the depth chart it shouldn’t be a disaster as it usually would be for any team. He can learn from Harbaugh and maybe he wants to coach someday while continuing his education at UM. Win for everyone 

Came for the NIL bag

JD is not even committed yet much less signed a letter of intent, enrolled, practicing, playing, or starting

Only had 12 attempts in 2022 after injury. Probably knows he isn't going to the NFL, so why not come to Michigan for your final year of football? Might be able to pick up a UM Degree, and continue to be a leader. 

He's not coming here to be a starter. He went from Utah to Indiana and only played in '20 and '21 when Penix was hurt. Probably wants to be on a team that wins a ton of games while getting a Michigan degree. 

"Clipboard Jesus" is the original term I believe 

"The Bowman Insurance Policy"  Smart idea for a team competing at the highest level, to have a guy with experience as deep back-up at the most important position.

let's raise money and endow it

The portal taketh [a QB-TE pair] and the portal given [a QB-TE pair]...

Pretty funny, losing captains at QB/TE to the same, in conference, team, and likely getting back a different pair of captains at QB/TE from the same, in conference, team.

Breakfast with il Pape is always fun!

I’m willing to bet that most people on this board under the age of 40 truly don’t understand your post. 
 

FYI - I’m well over 40 so….

he was a great surgeon as well….

Hopefully if we need him in an emergency, he’ll remember his parachute this time.

Pope - Hawkeye's eulogy - for those that aren't familiar with is - it's about 15 seconds of M*A*S*H.    https://www.google.com/search?q=mash+tuttle&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS819US819&sxsrf=ALiCzsbmfOpSAhgiKcCA7NVrvqMQmLAQSA:1671570122603&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwj1wP_6i4n8AhUqF1kFHdipBfoQ_AUoAXoECAIQAw&biw=1351&bih=923&dpr=1#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:22223f5c,vid:aepfYMHr674

Best damn O.D. we ever had.

Capt. Tuttle is friends with Pvt. Charles Lamb.

If only he'd remembered his damn parachute.

I had a friend recently transfer to an SEC school to be a third string QB because he wanted to eventually become a coach/do a Grad Assistant program. He actually ended up getting time this year due to injuries, but was never in the school's long term plans - he could have transferred down and been a starter at a high-level FCS or even low low G5 school, but opted for his future over playing time. 

I would imagine this situation is similar to that. 

Fairly highly rated in high school. Spent one year at Utah, then transferred to IU partly for academics. Strong academics. In business masters program. My guess is that he was guaranteed a spot in our business school. Was injured in first game of season last year and likely has two years remaining. All academic Big Ten player.

May have wanted to experience our coaching, etc.

Good pick up.

Probably the Bowman replacement. I was hoping we would pick up a QB with more experience, but it seems like Davis Warren is a good QB2. 

If the NFL isn't an option for a QB, why not go another year at a school like Michigan? Great education, continued great coaching, and a great opportunity. Seems like he's a leader, and continued leadership is what we need. Staying grounded and disciplined can lead programs to success.

Could be going to some school like Iowa....
