Transfers

[rivercat]

I think Thelen might be as good a passer as Quinn McQueary, who QB'd here for awhile before transferring to Tech where he had a nice career and was second team all Frontier his junior and senior years. They 9-1 his junior year and 6-4 his senior year. Impossible to say with him only take a few snaps vs. 2s and 3s. I think McQ would've started here after Prukop left in 2015. He pulled the trigger too soon. I don't think Thelen was as elusive on his feet as McQ.

Ash not putting him into the Cat Griz game after Bleskin struggled played a role in that.

Nailed it! A huge role. Most coaches would have made a change after 2 or 3 turnovers, but Ash waited for 6.

Easton Stick had the one thing that is going to cost Mellott with Vigen — size. I’m a huge Mellott fan, but I fear for his QB chances.

Yeah he's a little bit bigger. Mellott might still be growing. I wouldn't count him out. I don't think Vigen is so narrow-minded that he wouldn't play Mellott, if Mellott is excelling.

Stick 6-1, 215 frosh year at NDSU
Mellott 6-0, 195

Thanks. I was thinking Stick was a little taller than that. He was a ball of muscle by his senior year. He was very hard to bring down, for a mere QB! Go Tommy. I’m hoping for someone fun to watch again. We had such a run with Lulay / McGhee / Prukop. If Vigen can assemble a quarterback like Lulay (or McGhee) who could literally take a game by the throat and truly lead his team to victory — then to paraphrase Yogi “Their limitations would be unlimited.”

Sounds like lots of people are kinda giving up on Mellott, but there’s more to playing QB than completing a few passes in a scrimmage. Football is a team game. Bad QBs have good games, thanks to their teammates, and good QBs have bad games, sometimes at no fault of their own. I saw some good things by him that don’t show up on the stat sheet. I know everyone is rooting for him. I won’t count him out until he’s out.

Nobody is giving up on him. Stop being dramatic.

That was one of the most head-scratching moments of Ash's tenure ever. I loved Jake, but man he was clearly shell shocked after the first turnover and it got worse every following possession. And to top it all off when Quinn did get in he marched right down the field and scored. So frustrating.

In Jake's defense, he was also moving the ball pretty well and several of those turnovers were freak occurrences. That said, after 3 I would have liked to see Quinn in as well. Even if just for a series or two(I think if he would have played like he did, he would have stayed in), to let Jake reset.

I believe this was talked about quite a bit during and after the game in question. I think he(Bleskin) was hurt early on in the passing arm or shoulder that contributed to the fiasco that evening. Another addition to the head scratchin that night. If he wasn't injured, he appeared so sometime in the first quarter if memory serves.

I'll always remember that game as the day I started wanting Ash to be fired. Unfortunately it took an entire year to come about.

Holy crap, its been such a weird year I completely forgot we have a group of freshman coming in this fall.

I really think that Mellott will be special if he sticks around for another 2 years and keeps his nose to the grindstone. He has a lot of tools, just needs to put them all together.

I'm mostly a lurker, don't post much. However, I was at that game in the family section near McQueary's parents and I think Bleskin's parents were there also. Felt horrible for Bleskin and the whole family section is screaming at Ash to pull him out after the third turnover, why put the poor kid through this, etc. Wasn't pretty and Ash seemed relaxed, unconcerned, kind of wondering what color he should stain his deck then next day. IMHO, he should have been fired that afternoon. Cats got curb stomped that day and now Bleskin gets to carry that memory which isn't fair to him at all.

Vigen recruited Sean Austin at Wyoming too. I think he really likes him, and my guess is he's anxious to get somebody in there that's his guy. This isn't his guy, but he would've been.

Agreed. People forget how excited Justin Udy and Choate were about Mellott. And the kid is still a true freshman where no eligibility has been lost with the past year. Mellot still potentially has 5 years left in the program. The biggest concern is that he is super smart and will probably graduate in the next 3 years.
