Looks like pretty good evidence if a notre dame writer mentions there is “a lot of speculation” that he will transfer.
I doubt he will go to Pitt even if he does so I don’t care either way, but this clearly isn’t just a random thought.
Jurkovec
- Thread starter Macchiato
- Start date

Well, more precisely, the ND writer stated that people are speculating he could enter the portal, if Book returns, and then the ND writer explains why such a move wouldn’t make much sense for him to pursue for the remainder of the article.
Yes, same thing. You can’t transfer unless you enter the transfer portal.
And yes, the ND writer explains why it wouldn’t make sense.... so? If the kid doesn’t like the system or thinks another QB is higher in favor of the coaches, he will and should want out. No one can fault a DiNicci or MacVittie for transferring when an underclassman beats them out right? Go play somewhere and get experience
The fascination with WPIAL players transferring to Pitt, continues!
Foster to Pitt!
Wade to Pitt!
Raines to Pitt!
Jurkovec to Pitt!
Who cares?! Once they leave the area, On a personal level, I wish them the best. As far as football is concerned, they’re dead to me...

Would be tough on the ego too, spurning the hometown team in high school for bigger spotlight then coming back home to pitt with your tail between your legs because you couldn’t break in the depth chart elsewhere.
I could imagine not a lot of college footbsll players would want to do that.

I have no idea. First link I've seen attached to this notion so thank you for that.

There's also this assumption that the door is open for any kid that wants to come back. Right or wrong, I'm not sure Pitt has made any attempts to get these guys back.
How would it be his tail between his legs when he is the heir apparent? He will start at ND but wants a different system.
Honestly if Whipple was here before I would think Jurkovic gives us a good look. We were running the ball before, now we pass 40 times a game. Any QB would love this system.
He’s the heir apparent at a school he and his family love but he’s still entering the portal??
what sense does this make?
As i dont study the transfer rules,
Could Notre Dame block him from certain schools on the schedule?

Palko vs Flacco anyone?
Not saying the Jurkovec is an NFL in waiting QB but it has happened in the pass. The NFL and college are 2 different games that require different skills from the QB posiiton. Again not saying that is the case here but it could happen.
Right now, yes. But I've seen a few people project him to fall down a rung as some of their younger guys develop.
No doubt it's a possibility. I just feel like it's a little different story when you're talking about a recruit of his stature. I'm sure he's gotten a much more thorough evaluation than a guy like Flacco. Of course, that's just a guess.
I would think Beville wouldn’t shy from the competition. In fact maybe Jurkovic would shy away from Pitt because of Beville.
The kid was very talented in HS, and a great prospect. Not sure what happened at ND, but the kid has a lot of potential.
Any reason for this assumption, other than to paint the Pitt guy in a positive light and the non-Pitt guy in a negative light? I'm not defending Jurkovec (or anyone else who spurns Pitt, for that matter). I'm just wondering if you have any inside insight.
He's thrown 3 passes the last three games. In their game against BC, he threw 1 pass - a 5 yard slant. When he's been in the games, he looks like a backup. He could get better this off season, but Book will be the starter next season because he's much better right now.
Seems to have a big windup . Not a quick release and supposed struggled at ND spring game. He won’t play much at ND next year without an injury to Book.
He does have a long slow windup and while it worked just fine in HS it will not work at the major college game. I took a look at the spring game and the time it takes to get the ball out of his hands allows for blitzing him often. JMHO
I said maybe. No inside info but I think Beville will be the main guy, possibly as soon as next year.
Maybe Narduzzi had the audacity to tell the young lad that he'd struggle to start at Notre Dame???
He struggles with his accuracy. His throwing motion was bad coming out of high school. ND is not know for developing QB under Kelly .
You guys are funny. Big windup, not accurate, scared of Beville. I have no idea if he wants to transfer, and highly doubt there is anything to the rumor.
However, if Duzz would want to take him, he'd be the best QB on the roster the day he walked on campus. Quit being ridiculous.

About the time that Josh Lugg committed to ND, someone posted on Scout that they were close to the Luggs and shared a story about a mailing that he received that had article clippings about Pitt professors and various happenings on campus. The gist was that the culture around campus was toxic for white males. It could've been BS of course but Folks at Michigan were making similar claims on their board at the time.
LOL That was out there ... WAY out there! Talk about your negative recruiting!
Nah... everyone loves a hometown hero -- no matter what part of the country you are from. Some folks just have some hometown pride -- there's really nothing wrong with that, actually it's admirable imo.
I don’t understand what this is based on, we haven’t seen him play and he had a poor offer sheet for a P5 QB. Why would you think he’s any better than Patti who had very similar offers and at least we’ve got to see him play?
I hope one of those guys emerge, but at this point there’s no reason to think Beville is as good as Patti, or that either of them is as good as Pickett.
The scared of Beville thing makes no sense at all. One guy was highly recruited and the other guy had mostly Ivy League type offers. It’s bizarre.
He has had struggled with his mechanics at Notre Dame to the extent their local press wrote a story or two about it.
That said, even a broken throwing motion he would probably be better than Pickett because of his size, athleticism and ability to read a defense.
Hey I hope Beville is the answer myself. But Really? We are talking about how someone performs in pregame warm ups?
Comparisons to pickett are irrelevant. Even if this highly unlikely scenario played out, he’d have to sit a year and would be competing with Patti and Neville in ‘21.
I know that is what the rules state. Yet, Fields can leave his home state school and be eligible at Ohio State right away. Martell Tate can transfer from Ohio State to Miami because of Fields, and be eligible right away. Why can't an argument be made that someone wants to come back home?
Didn’t one or both of those guys play the race victim card? Think that’d work for him? He heard a bad word on campus and needed to come home?
Worth a try I guess.
