FSU QB transfer may/will visit Auburn as graduate student and would be eligible to play immediately.

Eh. He played with balls, but this would not excite me much.
-
I thought the SEC made a rule against this after we recruited Russel Wilson?
-

Yeah, it didn't move when I read this but with what is on campus, well, at least Trickett is serviceable.

Dunno. Somebody uppity up on the rules would be better to answer.
-

Well, it could at least be our best option untill either Marshall or JJ are up to speed.

Clint Trickett - sounds like a NASCAR driver.

I was thinking Clit Tickler...but that is me.

Y'all are some Debbie Downers. Dude's not a Heisman winner by any means, but he's no joke, which is what we apparently have on campus right now.
A better than average QB will make light years difference with this team in particular. We've got all the pieces to compete except a QB. Would be huge, IMO.
That being said, nothing ever works out the way I hope, so he'll probably go to Washington State, or hell, Arkansas State, and beat our ass.
-
Supposedly, it's between South Florida, Michigan, West Virginia, and us?
People seem to think South Florida is the main contender. I gotta think Craig helps us here in a big way.

Yeah, one have to think his previous relationship with Craig would play a big role in his decision making.

He's serviceable, but does he have the extra dimension (legs) necessary to make Gus's offense hum?
-
Would I take him? You bet. Would he be the best option? No.
He would be serviceable and he doesn't have the legs from what I remember watching him that we all want, but neither did Chris Todd and that O turned out pretty good.

Dick Trickle
A little antibiotic ought to clear that right up.

-

Can he get the ball from his hand to the hands of another player the same color uniform as him?
If so, this would be a huge get.
-
Would be a huge get. Unless Marshall or Johnson can play immediately, which I wouldn't count on.
Frazier and Wallace just look.......well, they look bad.
-
Marshall bothers me. He did pass for 3K 18 TD's and rushed for 1K with 13 rushing TD's, which is great, but what scares me is his ball protection. He did throw 20 INT's and fumbled 8 losing 5. That is not good.
-
Love this strategy -- miss out on QB (Jameis Winston), then take the guy who lost the battle for the starting job with him.
I think the reason he is eligible and Russell Wilson wasn't may be because this guy has 2 years left and Wilson only had one.
-
If I remember correctly, the games I did watch of FSU, Trickett did pretty well with making plays with his feet along with his big arm. Obviously, by his size, he wouldn't be able to handle keeping the option a whole lot but like wes said, dude has some brass balls.

Emphasis on little? :rofl: :rofl: :clap: :rofl: :rofl: :gig:

Had to give ESPN credit for their obligatory Dick Trickle results every race. If someone named Dick Trickle is racing, you have to talk about it.

His daddy has the foulest mouth of any man I've ever known. He couldn't tell you the time of day without adding six profanity words in there.

I'm going to leave this one up to CGM and CDC (since CDC was his position coach at FSU, he has more knowledge of Clint than anyone here or on other message boards combined). If they like him, then I'm all for it.
Btw, the same Auburn fans talking bad about the possible transfer of Clint are the same ones that thought Russell Wilson would've been a bad QB to take, because we had Frazier, Trotter & Moseley.
If the coaches feel that Clint is our best option, at this time, then had him the duffle bags full of cash and get it done.

And we are damn lucky to have dodged that bullet. Wait, what?
-
Clint can come on if he wants but it's Moseley's job to lose.

I can't make this jump. I can see a difference between now and then. And btw, I would love to get this kid and wanted Russell too. But I saw Russell as more of a proven player than Clint, at least in terms of athleticism. The fact that we are going after Clint tells me we don't have the depth and/or talent that Gus wants (as if most of us didn't already surmise that by now.)

I wanted Wilson. Dude was player of the year in the ACC as a freshman. The fact that Malzahn has been completely non-committal concerning saying either Wallace or Keel will be the man, tells me he's reeeeeally hoping JJ or Marshall will be a better option. Look, if a guy with starting experience at FSU wants to come in and compete for the QB job, knowing what's here and what's on the way, more power to him. And yes, the coaches should be stoked about the possibility. What's the worst that could happen? He's better than Wallace and Kadril? One of them transfers?

Exactly, we don't have the talent or depth, yet. Trickle has game and starting experience, plus he can throw the slant route...hope he likes Auburn enough to want to play here.

He could come and start a spice smoking epedimic among the team and they could go rob somebody in Conway, I guess. But that's pretty far-fetched.

You know you're my boy, but that is a bullshit generalization.

I meant to put â€some of†the same ones.
I'm not talking about here, because if I remember correctly most, if not all, were for the transfer of Russell Wilson to Auburn, I'm more talking about the Rivals, Scout, 24/7, etc paid message boards, that seemingly have a lot of uninformed â€Auburn fansâ€...and a number of inbred bammers.
-
You know you're my boy, but that is a bullshit generalization.
While that may have been a bullshit generalization, this is not: The Auburn fans even thinking they don't want Clint Trickett are the one's that for some fucked up reason hold out hope for who we currently have on campus at QB. There is zero downside to taking on Clint Trickett to compete for the job. Meaning: it can't get it any worse.

Perhaps. To be clear, my stance is:
This would not excite me much.
-
The way I see it, CT would give us a puncher's chance for this season. I don't know much about him but I would guess that he could likely get the nod over Marshall or JJ.
Without him, I predict we are waiting 1/3 of the season before we see Marshall or JJ play a significant amount.
Now that I've said that, we will likely see Wallace or Kalyle break the NCAA passing record this season.
-
Perhaps. To be clear, my stance is:
I wasn't referring to you, but rather Prowler's statement, and your particular response. I don't know enough about Trickett to get excited about him or not on HIS merits. I know enough about who we currently have on campus to get excited about him on THEIR merits.
-
I'm not going to lie or sugar coat anything...I'm praying that Nick Marshall is as good as advertised.

After seeing what was posted early in this thread, I saw that the Debbie Downers certainly weren't alone.
Twitter was bitching up a storm about him not fitting Gus's offense.
I echo JR that it can't get much worse and any QB whose name I recognize from being better than average with game experience, is welcome IMO.
-
If memory serves, Trickett's first real action came in 2011 against Oklahomo when Manuel went down. He played a good bit that season while Manuel was recovering. Played sparingly last year, throwing only 34 passes on the season. I have no idea why he left but assume it had as much to do with Jameis Winston being ready to start his career under center.
6'3" 180
Career Stats: 66/106 62% 947 yards 7 TD's 4 Int.
No rushing yards to speak of.
My biggest thing with the possibility of him signing is that it gives us another option (Who knows, he may be the best option) at QB. Someone who's got real game experience under his belt and apparently didn't suck. He wouldn't come in shell-shocked and could run the offense. He's no long term solution by any means but rather a viable option for the immediate future.....if needed.

My bet is that if he comes, then he's the starter. But that's a pretty racist prediction since he's the only white qb.
It would be nice for he and Marshall to carry the load and JJ be able to RS.

Can this kid hit a wide open receiver?
-
If Trickett can match Chris Todd's production, then we'll be fine. Because if Malzahn comes in and wins 8-9 games with another Chris Todd, then following mathmatical properties, we should see another Cam Newton emerge as the starter in 2014.

To be fair, it wasn't until Wilson signed with Wisconsin that I decided I didn't want him.

Me too. We had other QB's higher on our list. And, his offer was never really committable.

Well. To be fair, we had all seen enough out of Trotter to think he would be at least as good as Todd. And we were all OK with that. Then Totter went and losted his mind. Did NOT see that coming!

People....the correct response is, "We didn't want him anyway."

Why are you telling us this? He never had a committable offer to Auburn anyway. Just message board rumors probably started by Bama fans.

Like I said, I had no problem if a guy with real game experience who apparently at least didn't suck, wanted to come in and compete for the job. I talked to 2 FSU fans last week about him and they both said, "Okay QB. Skinny as a rail but a real good arm. Just wasn't going to get any playing time now that Winston is ready."
-
Well for me, this just further solidifies my opinion that Nick Marshall will be the starting QB for '13.
