I think @Hilltopper mentioned there are two on campus this week. I’m not sure who the other one is. I still hope we land Finley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClevelandZip Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Hi everybody, I’m new to Zips Nation and don’t want to steal anyone’s thunder, since it appears catdaddyp is very in the know. However, I just looked up Ben Finley’s instagram account and he already has himself listed as our QB. Not sure why there wasn’t some sort of bigger announcement, but maybe that is coming soon. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting him to announce on Twitter today, but there it is. He committed last night. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Hopefully our Connor Bazelak. That's the best we can hope for in these situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 He's an upgrade for sure. Hopefully he can cut down on the INTs against lower level play. https://calbears.com/sports/football/roster/ben-finley/22642 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Committed to JoeMo at Oregon and de-committed after the coaching change occurred. Something to keep an eye on. Scratch that. Bailey is retiring from football altogether. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cautiously optimistic as well. If/when Wasel realizes his upside, I'm sure he will get his shot. Him not getting on the field last year tells me he still has some work to do. Even if he takes a big step forward as early as this year and Finley remains ahead of him, one play can result in him getting his shot and change everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
