Dugger in the portal

QBs: Holstein, Gonzales, Heintschel

It’s obvious that Duggar feels he’s been passed up by Heintschel on depth chart. Heintschel was impressive in spring practices and was the first QB taken in the spring game draft..

The QB lineup is still much better than last year….
Yes, the new offensive staff, which did Not recruit JD, recruited over him and will continue to do so.
 
Just another WPIAL kid who things he is to good for the local team. Hope he goes to a school on Pitt's schedule. Willing to bet that NIL MONEY was a big factor in the decision. College sports are a mess right now, not even worth following.

He doesn't think he's too good. It's the exact opposite. He was going to be 4th string. I dont understand how though because reports were that he had a chance to win the starting job.

Local kid gets a chance. Does well in a meaningless bowl game, and gets delusions of grandeur.
College football is soon to be dead to me.

Same here. It's not even this portal transfer. Who gives a rat's a$$ about him? It's the overall scene of college football as it exists today. It's a freakin' mess and getting worse. I have no connection to this Pitt program or college football at all. It is indeed dead.
 
A kid that was going to be buried on a depth chart his college career if he stayed, now gets to try to start somewhere.

That’s not bad for the health of college football.

Dude, it’s not money or Pitt or anything like that. I totally understand the frustration with the transfer portal, but he’s most likely going to end up at G5 school or worse. He just wants to have a chance to play, and clearly that wasn’t likely here.

If it works out for him, you could argue he did things exactly right.

1) Get a taste of P4 skill level and development while using a redshirt

2) Compete for G5 reps

3) Perhaps win a G5 starting job

4/5) Get paid to transfer back up to P4

6) Sell insurance for the Jurkovec Agency

I understand that. That's why I said what I said. The entirety of college football is f'ed up.
 
I don't know how far down Dugger will have to drop to have a chance to get a starting job quick. Even as a backup there are a lot of perks of playing D1 football and it's got to be better than being a backup at a lower level.
 
I wish the kid well. I thought we would at least see him in some sub packages this year and in some goal line options. We aren't exactly loaded with big, strong, athletic kids on the offensive side of the ball. He wasn't a burner by any means but he could of been useful. Oh well, the portal is not our friend.

Quarterbacks don't understand that the goal is TO PLAY. Duggar should have gone FCS and worked his way up from there. In general:

3 star: FCS/G5
4 star: High G5/low P4
5 Star: low P4/high P4

Like, 5 stars should be choosing between Pitt, Syr, and Rut. Go start for 1-2 years then transfer to OSU or Bama. I dont understand why all these HS kids are so excited to be 3rd or 4th string for a couple years.
