Bloom's Leiby could be traded for Javon Davis. Everyone wins.

Notre dame is coming to shepherdstown, should be a great game!

QB will torch NDC watched them today there defense is not very good to say the least. SU will put up 50 on them.

If I'm not mistaking haven't all the starting IUP QBs beginning with Mike Box been transfers? It's probably rare that a true freshman can come in and take over a team.

1991-93: Scott Woods (Marshall)
1994-95: Ken Ferguson (Pitt)
1996-97: Terry Throm (WVU)
1998: Paul Failla (Notre Dame)
1999-2002: Brian Eyerman (recruit)
2003-04, 2006: Kevin Weidl (recruit)
2005, 2007-09: Andrew Krewatch (recruit)
2009-11: Pat Smith (recruit)
2010: Bo Napoleon (JC transfer)
2011-13: Mike Box (UConn)
2014: Chase Haslett (Illinois)
2015-18: Lenny Williams (Temple)
2019: Quinton Maxwell (Ohio)
2021: Harry Woodbery (Eastern Illinois)

Those are just the starters. Eyerman and Krewatch started as true freshmen, out of necessity.

If I'm not mistaking haven't all the starting IUP QBs beginning with Mike Box been transfers? It's probably rare that a true freshman can come in and take over a team. The IUP Angry Mob has high expectations and patience seems to be running thin - is there any tolerance out there to go through another 7-3, 8-3 non playoff year as a freshman develops? Even if the Angry Mob would bite the bullet for another year, does the Program want to take that freshman path or is IUP football in a perpetual "win now" mind set with a constant QB transfers?

I'd guess until they bomb on one it will continue. Their last three have been Lenny Williams, Maxwell and Woodberry.

Lenny was a transfer but he played here 4 years.

If they don't get a mid-year QB transfer signed ... the QB room will be pretty lonely this Spring.

The market is flooded. I'm confident they'll find one they like. Hopefully it's at least a two-year guy but if the right one-year guy is available ... by all means.

No excuses next year. They will be an older, experienced team.

Man that's too bad about Davis. I thought they should build around him next year. IUP will have a big senior class. Tort better hit big with the QB or all the potential of next year could be ruined....again. What's the recruited QB room like right now? Makes me wonder if Tort is flirting with becoming TLT2.

Davis first two college starts vs Kutz and Shepherd. And they didnt lose because of the QB spot.

Mekhi Lang has entered the portal.

Good, he never played and was not that good. As simple as that.

Hmmmm

He sure did....handle it well.

Javon Davis

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!! Well, thank you for your services Javon, and good luck wherever you land.

[Footballfanofall]

Tort may have already known that Javon was leaving when he did that show. He probably didn't find out on twitter.

But, yes, it totally opens up the position for IUP. It's early, the timing is good. Let's hope Tort hits a home run on this one.

Leiby from Bloomsburg is available in the portal. This kid is a great talent with 2 years left. Great leader on and off the field. This would be a good sign for IUP, if they could get him. I heard he's got alot if interest so far.

[iupgroundhog]

It was very clear on Tort's last show that Javon was done here. He didn't say it but it was obvious when Jack brought up the QB position (last) and Tort started talking about the success they've had with transfers (and didn't hardly say a word about Javon).

That was pretty much the moment I knew they were already shopping.

He'll have many suitors. I'd guess he lands in the GMAC.

He won a real big game here. He'll always have that to remember of his time at IUP.
