OC and QB are winners
- Thread starter HailtoPitt
- Start date
So in theory players each year can take the best offer on the table and move from team to team? Who will be the first to play for 4 different teams in 4 years? Probably a QB then...
Why start this crap now?
During Backyard Brawl week.

I hate to say I told you so but...
Bell will be back. He's still too inexperienced for a bigger school. He will get a big raise, though.
Thanks to the WV Attorney General, who wanted a basketball player to be eligible immediately so they would have an outside shot at the NIT
At some point the SEC and B10 will recognize that players associated with their teams leads to more recenue. But probably not until they destroy the rest.
wtf is this?
Seriously? The kid has 2 games, of which 3/4 of one was bad, and you are already posting about losing them both?
This is the Pittsburgh negativism I mentioned in the other post. Good god, relax dude
Lots of legit Narduzzi criticisms, but the dude has built a culture that has made them less vulnerable to transfers than 80% of programs out there. The guy who you just predicted will transfer to a bigger program just transferred here from*checks notes* Ala-freaking-bama.
Of the players that realistically were good enough to transfer to an equivalent or better program, what % do you think transferred?
Pitt’s offense is currently ranked 71 according to SP+. The defenses have just been so bad, that the offense hasn’t really done anything that the average to below average offense wouldn’t have done.
Maybe wait until the duo goes up against a defense with a pulse, before putting up the “Help Wanted” sign.

Are you questioning if players offered "better" opportunities took them? I have no idea. Im betting neither do you. I just know i never lost sleep over an outgoing transfer after Addison. Maybe you did.
The gist of your post is likely true but he had near zero chance of seeing the field at QB for Bama. If Holstein does blow up he will get offers. Whether he goes, we have no clue.
The more interesting question is how he ended up here. There seemed to be a foregone conclusion that Pitt was his destination as soon as he entered the portal. I may have missed the subsequent backstory...
My guess is close to or the same way Addison ended up at USC.
Keep the OC and you keep the QB almost for certain. Long term, making the NFL is still way more lucrative and he will be able to put up huge stats in this offense. And he’ll basically be locked in as the starter. Obviously anything can happen but if this offense continues to get better I don’t see him leaving.
This may be a bit different. With Bell he has the chance to put up big numbers and parlay that into a fat contract at the next level
However long way to go. I think the kid has all the tangibles and intangibles to be really really good But he has a long way to go to get there. All this talk about him leaving after this year is kind of funny given that many on this Board still question his talent and some said he was a stiff. Lol.
I just meant that Narduzzi is likely doing the same types of things that had everyone’s panties in a bunch when Riley came for Addison.
Not comparing the money or talent/success at the same points of transfer.
His girlfriend is on the Pitt Women's soccer team.
So to the OPs point, where will she be transferring this offseason?
Maybe, but that much different situation. Pitt desperately wanted to keep Addison.
I'm sure it was apparent Holstein was never going to see the field at Bama. & I don't think their coaches would mind trying to find Eli another home.
Nope. His connection with Pitt was Mike McGlynn, who the Holsteins had gotten to know through Eli's trainer & family friend, Tom Shaw.
Not sure. I remember HOF Coach posting that back in January when people were wondering why an Alabama recruit would transfer to Pitt. I inferred he got the info on the pay board. Try asking this question there. Of course maybe it was bullsh*t and I'm passing on bogus info.
