I honestly figured QP would transfer to one of the FCS schools in Illinois (being from the Chicago area). Could have saw him starting at ISU-R, WIU, or Eastern Illinois next season. Which would have led Cole Payton into taking his reps as the running QB that Quincy had been playing the last half of the season. I was perfectly fine with this outcome. For all three of them to be back is great. Something has to give in my mind. All three are too competitive and too talented to sit a watch.

Maybe they all have high character and want to play their part in helping their school win another championship?

QP could transfer to Illy State, but then he'd be the qb at Illy State. I'd rather have 5-10 snaps per game at NDSU.

Judging someone's character? Time out here. So you are saying that a player has a bad character if they want to improve their chances of starting by transferring to another school? Every person's character is different. It depends on what they want in life. Some want to start, some want to win. I wouldn't be judging anyones character based on transferring. Especially in a world where we have 1,000+ kids in the transfer portal. Hell Georgia's starting corner, hit the portal the day after they won the championship.

I was just saying I wouldn't have been surprised if he would have left. He would have an opportunity to start at one of those schools.

Myself, I am ready to see Cole Payton in some shape or form. I see in my eyes, that he could play QPs role as the running quarterback in our offense as a way to integrate him into our offense.

When he signed Trey had already began his NFL prep. When he committed (May 2020) that wasn't a for sure thing but IIRC at that time the draft buzz around Trey and him leaving after the 2020 fall season that never happened was already very string.

Cole verballed May 5th 2020. Trey declared for the NFL Draft Oct 6th after playing his last game on Oct 3rd. Cole signed the paperwork Dec 18, 2020

So he verballed before he declared and nobody through he would declare. It is still surprising

I agree with the idea here, except for that it implies that CP or QP would have bad character if they chose to leave

Remember, QP CAME HERE... did he show bad character in that decision, but now that hes with us, he's back to being a good character kid again?

I quipped earlier in the season that I want a delta formation of Cole, Quincy, Luepke and T Williams. with max tight ends on the field. and see how many times we get their defensive coordinator to call time outs until they let us run the play

So if QP comes back for one more season and splits snaps with Cam, if he graduates after next year as a Senior, would CP possibly fill that roll and split snaps with Cam the following year?

CP hasn't used a season of eligibility yet I believe, so next year will be his redshirt freshman year and he could possibly be splitting snaps as a sophomore. That would get somewhat on track to a regular QB progression but requires playing two QB's for the next 2-3 years.
