Kalis on the QB position: "Everybody probably knows who it is"

Malzone.

Alluded to the fact that the team already knew or probably knew who the starter would be in yesterday's press conference

Kevin Grady, Will Campbell, Shane Morris. Sometimes you need to accept that they just aren't the dominant players the recruiting websites led you to believe. I know its exciting when they put 5 stars next to a recruit's name, but they are far from infalable and they do get it wrong quite often. Shane is one of those instances. Hopefully he can mold himself into a competent backup to Rudock and O'Korn, but he's got some work to do before he's even at that level.

All this 'well, from what limited information that is available and we really don't know for sure but I would say that probability is in Jake's corner....' $100 says its Rudock. Since the day his transfer was announced we've known it will be him and all signs point to him, regardless of the 'submarine.' Unless of course it's Peppers at QB. Somebody ask their brother who knows him again. It's really been Jabrill all along. The Rudock v Morris storyline was all a smoke screen.

This is because Rudock has been very strong at camp, and not just because he can be trusted not to throw the ball away three times before halftime.

Its continuing to not sound good for Shane. Really have to wonder if he's taken his last meaningful snap at Michigan, because if Rudock takes over this year, I'm not overly confident Shane will beat out the likes of O'Korn or Gentry next Fall. 

Clearly, the OP encoded the answer to the burning QB question somewhere in the photo he included in his post. I've been trying to solve the mystery and I've concluded that the answer must be an anagram of 'Chobani'. Thus, the starting QB in the Utah game will be one of:

• Bin Chao
• Bochina
• Bochnia
• Bohican
• Cabinho
• Chobani
• Obichan

My money is on Bohican, but it's more of an uneducated guess than anything else at present.

 

I have it on good authority from my brother's neighbor's best friend from middle school, that Harbaugh is serious about getting his best 11 players on the field. That means two TEs with Butt and Bunting, Harris at wide out and the three RBs in a modified, hybridized version of the old single wing formation combined with the wishbone. That's right, they are going to run the T-Bone.

Ruddock for sure.  I think he fits well in a Harbaugh offense and that is why Harbaugh wanted him.  He is described as smart, accurate (leading to YAC) and somewhat robotic (in a good way) in his execution. These are good things in the Harbaugh/Drevno mechanized attack. His main weakness, lack of NFL arm cannon, is okay in this offense as we'll be running ahead of the chain and throwing to a squadron of TE's, blocky-catchy types, slant merchants and hopefully Drake Harris.  Hopefully his tendancy to check down too much will be mitigated by having better protection than he had at Iowa (and better qb coaching).

the worst kept secret

My guess is Brian Cleary.

I'd guess that Kalis' definition of "everyone" in this particular context is "everyone on the team", not "everyone in the world".

That said, Rudock does seem to have the edge. And having just watched the spring game again last night and all the Morris overthrows and five-yard cannon shots that bounced off hapless receivers, what I MOST want to see this season, aside from beat ohio and beat little brother, is a QB who throws catchable balls to our receivers.
