Rumor that Jake Rudock, Iowa QB, is transferring to Michigan.

Submitted by Ares on

This information today is brought to you by Scout.com. He's a fifth year so he wouldn't have to sit out and would bring even more competition to the position. If Harbaugh hired Gruden as OC the team would be half Quarterbacks. My opinion on the matter is that seeing as how this is the most important position on a football team, thus making or breaking a team in a lot of aspects, I hope this is true.

have been reported and discussed in several threads on the MGoBoard over the last 2 weeks.  Until an actual "Hello!" post is made, is there really anything new here to discuss?

And why are you bringing my brother Dick into the conversation? 

Take your meds, attend your anger management classes, and stop acting like you're 4'11" and have to prove yourself  B I G.

As said above, this has been discussed in several different ways over the last week or so. Until we see something more definitive, it is just a lot of hearsay. I went to the two links you provided:  they show Rudock, but nothing about this pending transfer.

I mean, this would be great. The more competition the better. Also puts a team in the B1G at a disadvantage, which could help us in terms of league standings. Not that I expect them in the B1G championship, but still. With that said, it seems like we get a new thread on this every four days or so. Anything new come up that substantiates this?

Our friends over at BHGP did some analysis of the rumor earlier in the week - LINK

Their initial thought on it was this - 

Whether the rumor is true or not (and we should find out one way or the other very soon), it's an appealing rumor because it does make a great deal of sense on the surface. Getting benched in the Gator Bowl and then getting bumped down to the back-up status on the bizarre spring depth chart that Ferentz released last month seemed to be pretty clear shots across the bow from Ferentz and an indication that he's moving on from Rudock as the starting quarterback at Iowa and putting his eggs in the C.J. Beathard basket.

I am sure they are on it. The story seems to emphasize that - for the time being - there's not much in the way of substantive information out there regarding this, and although this was posted a few days ago, that still seems to be the case.

and a transfer who has to sit out the season.

Our current depth chart has 2 true freshmen, a RS freshman and a junior with very limited and unsuccessful experience. If you were to name one position on the team that could use another player with experience, it's undoubtably QB.

That junior just may surprise everyone this spring and fall.  You try playing behind that craptastic O-line, take a cheap shot to the chin where your teammates didn't lay that fucker out, have an unaware coach continue to play you, throw you to the wolves in a bowl game, and see if your experience is unsuccessfull as well.

Let's see how this plays out more than just a couple of practices... To say Morris is Bellomy is just not right with what we know.  If Morris goes though this spring and summer and fall and hasn't improved then you're absolutely right!  

But the Hoke regime did not coach players up.  Gardner was the #5 ranked QB in the land and got worse rather than progressing.  Morris is a 4* with all the gifts but has been in tough spots.  I don't think those things are coincidences where the past coaching staff is concerned.
