So many 'see, I was right!' posts. Not one of yall knows how things will turn out for HB or any of the others.

No. We don't. What we do know is that those who followed him like Manson's girls overestimated his "market potential" by miles and miles. He may go to UNLV and prove everyone wrong and then end up back in the SEC as a grad transfer. But literally NO decent program wanted him. He's going to a program that has had one winning season (7 wins) since 2000.

Honestly, I'm surprised. I didn't think UGA or anyone like that would pursue him. But someone like Boston College, Central Michigan, or Rutgers seemed like a good bet.

Yeah the thing that was said here the most was he was going to a big school and torch us...I didn't think he's was going to a big school but sure didn't think it was gonna be UNLV.
At least it's not Google U 😎
He better light it up at UNLV though because if he loses there, he's probably done transferring to a big school and NFL
I still think someone around him, maybe his dad was talking to some other schools and it fell through. Leaving when he did made no sense

I'm sure because that's the only thing that make sense
I'll try and watch what he does at UNLV if possible. The curiosity in me demands it lol

All these fans basically anointed him the next Peyton Manning and now they are laughing because he's going to UNLV. Maybe that offense fits him better or maybe he likes the idea of living in Las Vegas. Anyways, I wish him the best of luck and hope he succeeds there.

Good move for him.

Probably will be able to rake in $$$ from NIL deals out there.

Playing for the guy that helped get Justin Herbert in the NFL and going to a pass happy offense in a weak defensive league.

Supposedly had interest from Iowa, AZ and GA Tech among others. Think I'd rather be in Vegas as a young man as well LOL.

Chaney didn’t want him while at Georgia or at Tennessee. We picked up recruiting a Texas kid who’s name escapes me when Chaney got here. Some of the offers he had weren’t committable. There were like three or four dynamic players on his high school team that were heavily recruited.

To be fair I thought he would be a lot better here than he turned out to be.

Haynes King. He picked texas am over Tennessee.

Injuries happen. Manning became the starter after Colquitt and Helton got injured and Stewart didn't play great. He was 4th on the depth chart on Sept 1 and I believe the unquestioned starter by the end of October.

I'm not saying he ever had my confidence. He didn't. I watched his HS video and saw a guy who looked a lot more like a 3* surrounded by very good talent than an elite QB. Good, not great arm. Not mobile. Good decision making. Generally accurate... but nothing that justified the rating or the cult following he got here.

Yeah I lived through the Peyton becoming QB1 due to injuries but HB is no Peyton Manning or even a Justin Worley for that matter. I was at practice in the beginning of fall camp and yeah HB doesn't have it. Surprisingly Milton did in fact looked the best so I see why coach started him but Hooker is like Dobbs ready on GameDay

was JG the starter herre? Did he win games herre? Didn't he actually win a bowl game herre? Oh, okay!

So Shrout and JG both landed p-5. Sounds like ur hurt by these facts! It's no coincidence. All went in the same portal, yet 2 went P5, one went mid-major, and the other FCS. That's spot on to their talents!

Nothing you say here validates your statement!
JG won games here, a P5 school, he was still bad and guaranteed there were better QB’s at non P-5 .
And once again, how many games have the other 3 played after transfer?

UNLV has definitely been on the bottom historically, but with the new stadium that could attract better players. I hope HB has a great career there.

Doesn’t make it any easier because he wasn’t very good. But with HB at UNLV, Maurer at SF Austin and Shrout at Colorado (hurt) we may have a clearer picture of why JG was trotted out each week. I’m not a Pruitt fan but it looks as though he was limited in the QB room.

it was stated many times, JG was the better QB over those guys..

Well Shrout was the starter until injury at Colorado. As far as the other 2, they have transferred to lower tier schools. So yes, my point has been proven......but it doesnt fit your narrative so........

Shrout wasn't given a fair shake by pruitt and that's why I think he bounced instead of even waiting for the new staff. I think he was better than JG, but JG's family was holding what was going on over cornbread's head until others caught wind.
