Reminiscing in Bearcat land…

Nice article in the NW Missourian about 2013 team.

That is a good question. Probably not the most talented of the bunch, and I’m unfairly biased, but I got to know Trevor the best. He’s just an amazing stand up dude… very strong in his faith. I used to say that if I was the star quarterback for a national championship team, I would’ve totally used that for evil. Lol. That just wasn’t him… yes sir, no sir, golf on Wednesday, bible study on Thursday, yada yada yada… great kid and a pretty darn good quarterback.

Disclaimer: The rest of them may have all been great kids too… I just can’t personally vouch for them.

Blake Bolles

Blake Bolles

This is the answer. He was a Division 1 QB playing at the D2 level.

Adams had the highest completion percentage and was a tremendous decision maker.

Blake Bolles

Without Soy?

That's my only hesitation. He had elite hands to throw to that some others did not.

He came a long way… I remember, I think is was 2012, we got beat by Central at home early in the season and Trevor wasn't great. A lot of fans were groaning, in part because Bolles 2.0 was waiting in the wings. Because I knew him, I was obviously pulling for him and was glad he kept his job and had a pretty good year before succumbing to Mankato that year. Came back and really played beautifully as a senior and went on to win their first National Championship under AD. Those were good times. Obviously, it makes a huge difference when your program can stack 3 or 4 really good quarterbacks in a row... nobody has to play too early, they're able to get some experience while waiting their turn, and it's game on when it is. Zimmerman's senior year, with the fact that it was his only year as the starter, was really impressive. The Bolles brothers were definitely more athletic, but man, I'd take any one of them for another round.

Each one of them had better supporting players around them as well. When was the last time that we had a receiver that could really stretch the field. I figured that we would lose Harris, but if he would have stayed, I feel he would have been one of the elites at NW, such as Omon, LaRon, etc.

i agree. but here we are, welcome to the new world...

Not gone yet, but he certainly will have options. All we need is a QB, some OL, WR's, DL, LB, DB's and he could stay!

Good to stack good WR's with them too. Blake/Soy, Adams/Thomas, Brady/Bane. Zimmerman probably did the most from a committee standpoint since Bane was injured most of the year.

I hate to think about it, but you have to imagine Omon wouldn’t have been a career Bearcat in today’s structure. Hell, he may never have been a Bearcat if NU hadn’t hired Callahan who torpedoed their walk on program (they may have had Omon and Woodhead).

That may be true but would they have had the type of careers which they had by going to NU? Maybe, but if you're good enough the NFL will find you.
