The fact that we even had prospective FBS QB transfers on campus for official visits excited me bigly.
Would be awesome if one of these guys came in and became a difference maker. All the while, rooting for Clifford to keep developing. Sounds like he was showing some improvement this spring.

I attended the Holy Cross Luncheon in Boston yesterday and Coach Chesney was the featured speaker. A few items of note from his remarks:
- Clifford is currently in the driver's seat for the starting QB job after spring practice - Asked about the transfer QBs on campus, he confirmed they were on campus and there is no done deal for a transfer QB. He noted there had been plenty of other potential transfers on campus this spring and they have scholarship money to fill needs - Indicated the transfer portal is a gamechanger for transfer and widens the landing zones for potential transfers
It was a well-attended event and Coach Chesney came off as focused, pragmatic, and upbeat.

'scholarship money to fill needs' - smart ! would not be surprised if we retain schollie $ every year going forward to latch onto transfers - with the Luth and our schedules, we are bound to pick up some quality transfers.

But that also means you are rostering less than 60 full equivalents. I remembering reading one or two NCAA revenue and expense reports from the MAC conference and being surprised that the number of football scollies was in the 70s, rather than the 85 allowed for FBS. I thought it was because the school(s) felt it couldn't afford the 85 allowed.

I may be missing something but 247 tracks the transfer portal pretty closely and EJ Perry's name never hit it. 247sports.com/Season/2019-Football/TransferPortal/ Here are the current FBS "Undecided" QB's they have listed: Keondre Wudtee, Oklahoma State Deondre Francois, Florida State Kasim Hill, Maryland Cade Weldon, Miami Tommy Stevens, Penn State Matt Fink, USC Matthew Baldwin, Ohio State Preston Weeks, Baylor Colson Yankoff, Washington Jalon Jones, Florida (Of course this does not mean he was not prudently playing his cards during spring practice and roster determinations at BC. Ditto for other potential FBS transfers.)

Of course there's a scholarship left do you guys not think that the coaching staff understands the situation better than any of us? Apparently you're new to this board.

Thanks. Always have been surprised how we haven’t tapped the fbs transfer market over the last 4 years. If you’re not playing, think you can play, don’t want to sit for a year and want a nice degree as a backup, Hc seems logical.

If you’re not playing, think you can play, don’t want to sit for a year and want a nice degree as a backup, Hc seems logical. A junior FBS transfer who starts for two years at HC only costs half as much scholarship money (or "cap space") as a four year player who earns his starting position beginning in junior year. Managing the Scholarship cap and managing the clock at the end of the game both fall under strategic thinking. The news that many potential transfers have visited is positive. I hope Admissions doesn't sack a potential QB transfer.

BC players are quite active on the transfer portal: BC quarterback John Langan (a pro-style 3-star out of Bergen Catholic BTW) who redshirted this past year informed BC he wished to transfer, was enrolled in the portal, and is now shown as having been picked up by Rutgers (DEC 2018). There are three more BC players interested in transferring and on the transfer portal who have not, as of yet, landed: Davon Jones, Thomas Shelmire, and Ben Stewart. They also have two transfers (from Penn State and University of Miami) incoming as shown on the portal. No sign of EJ Perry on the portal. (The new transfer rules do seem to state that a player can contact another coach [and a coach contact the player] after the name is on the official portal. Before this portal rule a school could block contact from another school and effectively block a student from transferring. I may be misreading the new rule - especially if BC's Perry did actually visit HC and their coaches.) Here is the BC feed on 247's transfer portal report: 247sports.com/college/boston-college/Season/2019-Football/TransferPortal/(The portal and the new redshirt rule are certainly gamechangers...hopefully we can benefit from the first...I still don't know HC/PL position on a kid who transfers in with a redshirt year and if we honor that - if not that can't help to land a transfer) (Edit: Straightened out the BC 247 Transfer Portal link...thanks PP)

PP I don't have an answer to that question. (If there is an academic term deadline, I guess we'll know of availability very soon via the portal...and then the kid can actually talk to a HC football coach and receive an offer) It does seem as though a kid must be registered on the transfer portal in order to speak to a coach at a new school: (See Q's 3 and 4 on the second page here: www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/di-saac-notification-transfer.pdf ) But he can speak with admissions (and some players at the school as long as they are not passing messages from a coach) prior to transfer portal registration. (Note: This 'transfer portal' innovation is a big and new advantage for the student athlete in that a coach/school can no longer block a kid from leaving and getting a schollie at another school...as long as the kid registers on the portal.) I'm not sure this would apply to non-schollie kids/walk-ons. Much of the verbiage in the pamphlet is cautionary regarding the effects of registering upon current schollie.

hcpride, in the portal a Harvard QB transferred to Rice. I assume he would be going from non-scollie to scollie. I doubt one would need the portal if one was going from non-scollie to non-scollie.

PP Good point. And I think the pretty rare undergraduate FCS to FBS transfer ordinarily has to sit a year (like FCS to FCS)...this particular Harvard QB is a graduate transfer and immediately eligible.
Portal is an eye-opener on D-1 football transfers.

Mostly positive reports on EJ Perry from an Eagle's perspective on their message board eagleoutsider.
General consensus is that he'd be the 3rd or 4th QB at BC come Sept. Lacks the arm some say to be effective at an ACC-level but should be fine at an FCS-level. Again, take that for what it's worth...not sure how much FCS football these guys have seen ovah the years beside their yearly beating up of an FCS team.
Supposedly a dual-threat which is also very good to hear. My fear is that he'll want to play for his Uncle at Brown which is understandable.
We shall see...

Don't think he is on the portal and now that spring football is over I'd expect to see him there if he was definitely planning on transferring. Other BC (incoming and outgoing) players are on there.
But
The incoming (already enrolled) frosh hotshot is likely to redshirt (of course he can play in four games under the rules) and apparently EJ and another returning QB were going to battle for backup. All 4 played spring football so EJ knows his competition. None of the other three are older than EJ and IF if there are no injuries it does seem unlikely EJ will see much time his remaining two years.
(A 5th QB got on the Transfer Portal and left for Rutgers earlier this year)
