Free article on rivals about Nick Montana, former 4 star who went to juco after playing at Washington. First I have heard of this and would help out a lot with QB Depth.
"I have an offer from Akron and Western Kentucky," he said. "I'm really talking a lot to Michigan, Arkansas State and Louisiana Tech. That's just off the top of my head. There are a few more schools."

Hmm interesting.... wounded
Hmm interesting.... wounded if the 2014 qbs really arnt all that intriguing to them.
Not happening
With a Devin Garndner reshirt and Shane Morris coming in, exactly where would a QB who wants to be "The Man" fit in? I can't imagine Montana wanting to be a third-string QB anyplace, and I can't imgaine him not transferring yet again when he figures out where he stands on the chart.
I don't think it seems likley
I don't think it seems likley either. However Michigan really stands out compared to the other schools he mentions.
"what the hell is wrong with u?" "me? Nothing! you on the other hand, have a bullet inside of you!"
Maybe he's weighing what
Maybe he's weighing what being "the Man" at a mediocre university means for his future vs. being a backup QB and getting degree from a top 30 institution.
Top 30?

Yes, but the coaches aren't
Yes, but the coaches aren't selling Montana on the idea that he'd come to Michigan to backup Devin Garder, they're telling him he'll have a chance to compete for a starting position, which he would. If he wants to be "The Man," then come to Ann Arbor and earn it.
See it through.
Not to mention, Shane is a
Not to mention, Shane is a lot more likely to redshirt if we have another solid QB. They could tell him to compete for the spot and possibly have the starting job in a year or two while we groom the freshman. That would be a relief for most of us, as long as Montana is good.
Part of me really wants Shane on the field as much as possible, like I know the rest of you crazies do, but most of me is also semi-rational and would prefer not to have a freshman (or even RS freshman) having to start. Unless he is immediately godly and not just demigodly with need of a Herculean tuneup (Disney version)

When I was younger (15 when
When I was younger (15 when he started at Michigan) I never really thought of it as something that special, but for Chad Henne to do what he did as a true Freshman is just remarkable.
Lloyd Brady is my homeboy...for real he is!
True, but don't forget it was
True, but don't forget it was Gutierrez who was likely to start that first year, but due to a shoulder injury, didn't.
Which, IMO, makes it even
Which, IMO, makes it even more impressive. Sure, Henne was a 5* stud and was the QB of the future at M, but to become the starter just before the first game and lead your team to a share of the B1G title? Yeah, that's something.
I know that he had lots of weapons at his disposal (Braylon, Avant, Breaston, Hart, etc.) but that shouldn't discount what he did in the least.

If he's scared off by an unproven high school kid
He's going to have trouble finding ANY place to play.
No kidding
No way Montana would be interested in UM after Morris wins the Heisman next Saturday.
Gardner redshirt
Gardner's redshirt isn't official yet. Hoke thinks it'll happen, but until the NCAA officially grants the redshirt, the coaches need to plan for the possibility that next year will be Gardner's last year.
Michigan badly wants to RS
Michigan badly wants to RS Morris next year, I imagine. It wouldn't shock me if they have somewhat lost faith in Bellomy to stand between a Gardner injury and Morris burning that RS. Taking a guy to stand in between makes sense. From his perspective, if he shows up and plays well...he could take the job. If Morris redshirted, Montana wouldn't leave until after Morris' RS Freshman year.

Commence gloomy Bellomy
Commence gloomy Bellomy foreshadowing.
or commence a patient but not forever Gardner
growing tired of the manball meme and transferring to Alabama.
No need for gloom,
The coaches after watching him against Nebraska know that they made a huge recruiting mistake and are exploring all options available to save Shane's first year as a red shirt. Smart move by the coaches if true.
Not an indictment of Bellomy
Michigan needs more than 2 or 3 QBs.
I imagine Bellomy's apparent fall from grace
has something to do with this decision to pursue a JUCO QB who happens to be Joe Montana's son.
Formerly 'mgoblaniel.'
If true
is Bellomy hurt more than we thought?

His ego is ruptured in 4 different places.
Given the speed
Bellomy showed going after the guy who intercepted the pass on the freak play to Vincent Smith, perhaps Bellomy should move to the Defense and play safety. Or, maybe he can be the next qb to be moved to wide receiver!!! [The second option was intended to be cute; the first might really be a possibility.]
Or Garder's Medical Redshirt
application is not a given or done deal?
I don't think
we need both of them.

Coaches have been
Coaches have been slow-playing the 2014 QB class, which doesn't seem deep but isn't particularly bad either. I guess this could be a reason why....? How many years would Montana have left if he came here?
When will the Exit:Bellomy
When will the Exit:Bellomy post be up?
THOSE WHO STAY WILL BE CHAMPIONS
Not far from the truth,
I believe. Bellomy's injury was a confidence thing. Psychological not physical.
news of the weird
Taking a JUCO, especially at that position, is really, obscenely rare for a Big 10 team. Can anyone remember a JUCO QB leading a B1G team to glory? or even taking a snap?
I agree with other posters, this can only mean that Bellomy's "condition" makes him unable to be a long-term solution. Stop the wisecracks, I know what you're thinking: That his "condition" is, "unable to play QB well."
If Bellomy is not a long-timer, AND IF Devin isn't here for the second year (read: no redshirt, OR, he blows up and goes to get paid), then we'd have only 1 schollie QB on the roster -- Shane -- in 2014. Definitely need a contingency plan for that year. A bit of grasping at straws, but, a JUCO QB with that last name is probably better than [insert name of random 3* QB we might recruit for 2014 class].

He walked on at Notre same I be leave so its possible he would here as well that might be what they are thinking. Solid emergency qb just incase
You are thinking of Nate. This is Nick.*

Agree 100%. As weird as it seems given the state of depth of the rest of the team, getting JuCo Instahelp at QB is a REALLY good idea if the coaches can swing it.
I'd still go for a QB in 2014, but getting the numbers up and also getting a guy who's played would be good(especially if Bellomy is really done and Morris needs time to develop, which is likely given his mono this year).

Remember though...
he's not a two year JUCO who was a non-qualifier out of high school or anything. He played a bit in the Pac 12 (22/42 226 3TD 2INT as a RS Freshman) and presumably was doing okay in school. I think this is a great move if they can get him, but he claims to want a lot of playing time, which could be a sticking point with potentially two five stars in front of him.

Tony Banks did okay.
JUCOs are not that rare in the Big Ten, just at certain schools like UM, NW and PSU.

Didn't Nate Montana play for
Didn't Nate Montana play for ND? He came in against Michigan in 2010 when Crist went out and Michigan made him look like a little boy?
Yes, but Michigan is talking
Yes, but Michigan is talking to Nick. Nate, confusingly, transferred to Montana, before transferring again to West Virginia Wesleyan.
It does seem the Montana boys have a bit of the Forcier transfer gene.
Looking back at the box
Looking back at the box score, Nate was 8/17 for 104 yards and 1 INT against Michigan.
Yes.
He's now a QB at West Virginia Wesleyan by way of Montana (lol). The OP means to say Nick Montana, former UW QB.
