TCU's QB Sawyer is transferring. Hasn't announced where yet so obviously we have to assume he's coming to SFA.

Good thing because...

Why should we assume that he'd come here? Or were you just joking around?

We assume any Power5 school transfer is coming here. Apparently.

Always assume they are! Because they never do...it was definitely a joke because a lot of people always think we have a shot at these transfers.

I mean...we technically do if they don't want to sit out a year. Member Devonte Fields?

Yeah that's I was referring to. And trust me, I remember. I was at the practice and watched him carry all of his clothes and bedding into the locker room. Also watched him carry it all out the next day on his way out.

It would be fun to get a quarterback of his caliber with the receivers we have.

Coach Mills is following him on Twitter.

What ever happened with that? I remember reading that he was transferring in just before my first semester at SFA and then it didn't happen.

I believe it had to do with TCU not granting his release like they previously said they would. Can you imagine the damage he could have done here?

After deciding to play at SFA, TCU came back and said because of his violations, it warranted his suspension from the school. Which in turn made him ineligible for any NCAA school for a year, he then went to a Community College before going to Louisville.

I can't confirm anything just yet. But let's just say I'm pretty excited about 2017.

Ed, you are older like me, are you sure that it's a "thrill" running down your leg!!

While we await official confirmation----this could be great news for FB. He could come in here and run this team for 2 years while helping the younger ones. We have some offensive talent for him to work with.....and hope that we get the OL up and running again.

I have no "official" paperwork, but I can tell you from close sources he is coming to SFA.

I just checked. Yes, it's a "thrill".

In the Recruiting forum, SFAXE93 has added him as a 2017 Football Commit. That's good enough for me.

Wow! I hope we have a run game to protect him, but this could be big.

They had to have sold him on our offensive line because this kid definitely had options. Very exciting get for us.

This is more than huge for us. A potential big 12 starter? This kid makes us an instant conference title contender and gives us a big chance to make a deep playoff run. The potential for our offense behind him is huge.

Whoa, slow down, 03. This past season the offensive line was one of our two biggest problems (along with the defensive backfield). Let's see how they perform in the first couple of games before having us beating Prison Tech, James Madison, or North Dakota State. Hopefully, the injury bug will stay away this Fall.

BTW, Sawyer has been involved in preparing for and playing SMU the last two years, so that should be a big help to the coaching staff in getting ready for the Mustangs in the first game. He'll be like a coach on the field in that one.

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion but here goes: this is big for us because QB was a huge question mark this coming season BUT we had a quarterback last season and we saw what little difference that made without a supporting cast. Zach Conque was about as underappreciated as any player probably ever in Nacogdoches. I'm stoked about Sawyer, but he doesn't (by himself) make us a contender.

We're a contender if he ends up being the QB we think he can be AND our offensive line and secondary make big, big strides. There's reason to think they can, but definitely tap the brakes on any deep playoff run talk.
SFASawmillGuy

Obviously our offensive line will make or break this team, but that was also our problem last year. If we had an offensive line it would have likely made a huge difference between how we did and making a case for the playoffs.
After losing Zach Conque we had to worry about if our offensive line would be decent AND putting in a complete unknown at QB. Foster will still be pretty unknown because he never really played much at TCU, but I feel more comfortable knowing he will be in there.
And there is reason to think our offensive line will be better solely because they'll be more experienced. There's no doubt Clint Conque will have his eyes on several big offensive linemen wanting to transfer.

BTW, I know this thread was started as a joke but we need to hire PurpleForever to start one every time a P5 player announces a transfer. Apparently he brings us some good recruiting joo joo.

Sawyer didn't fit in well at TCU and their Air Raid scheme. With a scheme like ours, he can use his legs and be mobile.

Can't wait to see him in action. Well done Conque et all
