Sac State is also D1. What you mean is FBS vs. FCS.
And I'm fully aware of that Josh Allen played at an FBS program. But we're still talking about Wyoming. They're in the same league as San Jose State. Not exactly fast track programs to the pros either. Certainly not part of the power 5. Which was the point of mentioning Allen.
The way things have been progressing in college football, outside of the power 5, most of these other programs will be fairly equal if they're not already.
FWIW, the likes of NDSU, JMU and even Montana of the FCS are often stronger programs than much of the Mountain West conference minus possibly Boise State. In short, FBS doesn't automatically equal better.
including Joe Flacco/Jimmy G are all physically big dudes so the scouts were intrigued by their physical traits from the start
KT isn’t a traditional size for a NFL QB he’s what 6’0? He can run a bit but yeah NFL isn’t drooling over him.
Flacco, yes. Jimmy G? Not so much. He was listed at 6'2 226 at the combine.
Kevin Thomson is listed on both the Hornets and Huskies rosters at 6'2 200. I personally don't believe he's quite that, but that's what they've got officially listed so that's what we've got to go on.
And you're making my point for me. Part of questioning the transfer is Thomson's lack of size and penchant for injury.
yeah relax I don’t follow sac st football religiously but I just think it’s funny how you act like it’s top of the pyramid of college football
By all means, point me to a previous post where I've implied such a thing. You're inventing your own truth here. I'm fully aware of their subpar history and lack of facilities.
That said, it should also be acknowledged that Sac State finished 2019 ranked in the top 10 and, prior to Thomson's decision to transfer, was ranked as high as #4 in the Nation in a May 2020 preseason poll (HERO Sports).
when reality is UW is a better degree and way higher level of football
Higher level of football, yes. Better degree? Based upon what exactly? I'm pretty sure a lot depends upon the field of study one pursues between the two schools.
Secondly, Thomson is a graduate student. Which means he already graduated from Sac State. His attending UW to complete his football career doesn't necessarily mean he'll stay long enough to also obtain a graduate degree from UW. You're making multiple assumptions here.
so maybe he starts or maybe he doesn’t......but playing at Husky stadium in front of 60k against USC or Oregon is way better experience then in front of 15 k in Sacramento against Southern Utah
Other than starting or not starting, nothing else you stated here was being debated.
Although now that you bring it up, the vast difference in attendance is probably a moot point since in this current pandemic era there won't be 60K watching any game for the foreseeable future. Certainly not during Thomson's final season anyway.
He may not play at UW ur right but I think the payoff if he does start is worth it but I know I think the opposite.....but we will agree to disagree
If he does start and the Huskies go 7-5, convince me how that is somehow going to convince scouts to give the kid a look versus not giving him the same look after another season like he had at Sac State in 2019.
Hint: It won't. He'll get the same look.
@Streak One is spot on. Scouts/GM's won't care where he succeeded. This isn't 1985 or even 1995 anymore. They find players from FBS all the way down to Division 3 nowadays.
I know ur passionate about ur hornets
I'm a lifelong Ohio State fan. I bleed scarlet and gray. But I do root for the local underdog Hornets as well. Lots of local HS talent on the roster. Again, make no mistake, I'm fully aware of the programs subpar history and lack of facilities.
That said, they also happen to have two really exceptional QB coaches at the moment. Coaches that had a lot to do with the stellar season KT enjoyed last Fall. W/O their tutelage and their offensive system, does UW come calling? Doubtful.
Just saying.
