Based on the tweet and Pitt’s past history, I guessed DJU too. He’s improved from his Clemson days and was an above average QB at Oregon State. Not saying he’s perfect, but probably gives us a better chance than Yarnell and Veilleux.
Haven't you read Vuk's mystery tweets before? The jokes are more at his clickbait nonsense.
I think light years better is a stretch given how bad he looked at times for Clemson. The pick 6 shovel pass he threw in Pitt's victory over Clemson at Heinz in 2021 was not out of character for him at that point in his career. There are plenty of Clemson fans that think that 2021 team was a national championship caliber team at every position except quarterback.
D.J. is likely a better option right now, but that's only because he's had the chance to play and develop. Yarnell and Veilleux will both likely be significantly better than what we've seen from them so far with additional reps; because as a general rule, until they are near their ceiling, quarterbacks get better as they gain game experience. Something that seems overlooked on this board too often.

Wanny leaving Fox sports. Has one year of eligibility left.
My guess is if DJ comes in to start, one of or both CV and Yarnell are leaving.
That is who I would guess too but my knowledge of who's in the portal is close to 0 and I dont care to look it up. I just dont think there's enough QBs we'd have a shot at who would generate the type of buzz that Vuk thinks. How many P4s can DJU be guaranteed to start? 5? Of those, how many would he truly be interested in?
I'm not even sure he fits the new offense. I hope if they bring in a transfer he is young. Tired of washed up retreads.
Like 100 other people...

And…..maybe because he has elite size, athleticism, talent and arm strength compared to Yarnduzzi or Vayer. He’s coming off an 11-2 year where he put up great numbers. He had more rushing yards and rushing TDs alone than any running back on Pitt’s roster. His struggles at Clemson are well in the rear view at this point.
So yeah, he’s light years better than what we presently have, and would he far better suited to the type of offense we will be running than either of them.
Name a few. Who could Pitt legitimately land to warrant this type of buzz?
Where are you getting your stats from?
Oregon State finished 8-5 this year. DJ only had 219 rushing ads. His passing numbers weren't really all that impressive either.
To warrant a charlatan-esque post from Mike V?!?! Are you kidding? It could be a new hotdogs vendor. It doesn't take much.
That would not excite me at all.
I suggested that a couple of months ago. I hope that it happens, but I doubt it. Makes sense though for him, the starter (Quinn Ewers) is only a Sophomore and when he got hurt they used a Freshman QB (Maalik Murphy) in his place. They are loaded at QB, I'd take any of the three.
Why? Is Pitt not good enough (or relevant) to get a player of that caliber?
Same reason a guy working at Walmart isn’t living in a million dollar home.
