Beau back to Penn State? Beau just hit the transfer portal. Would you guys want him back or no? I’ve also heard a few former Pitt players saying Penn State is interested in Mason Heintschel (not sure how accurate it is). Also Rocco Becht is a option for Penn State.

Everybody happy with Grunk or rather have a transfer QB come in?

I feel like Grunk deserves a shot.

I'd love to see Grunk be the man. Like most portal QBs, I doubt Beau would go someplace unless he's assured of a starting spot. I don't think CMC is in the position to make that kind of assurance simply because he's still trying to assess what he's currently working with. I don't know where Becht will be next year but if it's PSU, we won't be getting Beau.

My guess is the Heintschel talk is just Pitt fans being paranoid. I hadn't heard he hit the portal.

I'm for Grunk, Beau left us at a critical time last year, although JF wouldn't have played
him anyway.

I think we are best off with Becht. Grunk can stay and we can have a backup ready to win with just in case.

A good friend mine went to Pitt and is friends with Pat Bostick. He said Pat claims Penn Stare and numerous other teams are trying to poach Mason away and they doubt Pitt will be able to keep him. I know people will say I’m full of **** lol

I don’t know from first hand knowledge but I heard the XM guys talking up the Cincy QB who just announced he is going into the portal. They seemed pretty impressed with him. Didn’t the new PSU GM work at Cincy previously?

Beau will want to start and we are not going to guarantee that. He is limited anyway and who knows he probably saw that he will get beat out by Zollers. No compelling reason for us to take him. We are better off with Grunk and Becht or try to poach the Pitt guy.

Without having read the upthread responses, I say Hell No.

The only appropriate response to someone portaling out is, “Sorry to hear this, thanks for the laughs and leadership, best of luck Slugger, you won’t be back, it’s not personal.”

Only a second tier team would welcome back someone who left for a year and now wants back. It reeks of desperation.

Best of luck to Beau. I’m sorry he left PSU. Next man up.

Well, that was his excuse last year, yet other players stayed with their teams in the playoffs before going in the portal. He doesn’t have that excuse this year. Mizzou isn’t in the playoff and the portal window doesn’t open until Jan 2. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt last year, but this is a trend with him now.

I didn't justify anything about this year. Maybe he's keeping his opinions open in case his coach leaves.

Thank you. I was not thinking of King when I composed my post, but who’s to say that Beau would be a tremendous benefit to PSU were he to return? You gotta draw a line somewhere, that’s my line, that’s my hill. Appreciate King, it’s not personal.

If we are going to go after someone then go after the Pa kid who passed BEau on the depth chart at Missouri.

He didn't have to transfer when he did. People need to stop making excuses for him. He had plenty of time to enter the portal after our season ended.

I’m not sure about that. He would have two years left. He saw Allar get injured. He saw Beau only last one year at a new school. He would have a better shot to start at a school at PSU’s level than anywhere else. It’s either drop down a tier and have or wait.

Experts say a P5 experienced qb with his solid numbers can get $2-3m in the portal. That’s where we’re at - a free agent basically.

Yup. Crazy. Beau took the bag of cash from Mizzou and then bailed again when the season was over.

100% sure--he wasn't recruited by Campbell and we brought in 2 kids this year that were. He's not staying to be a backup.
Grunk is also far better than Beau

This can’t be…by the posts on this board during the season one would have thought Beau was the second coming of Joe Montana and now he can’t win the starting job at Missouri? Come on, that’s crazy talk.

It’s kind of pathetic that a kid who has less than no chance of ever playing in the NFL would leave both a Big 1i0 and a SEC team; he should feel fortunate that he got to play football at that level. At this point, when does he start concentrating on getting a degree at a school like a PSU or Mizzou that can open up doors so that he can be a productive member of society after his college football days are over rather than chasing an unrealistic dream?

Drink is starting Zollers in the bowl game and made it clear that next year there would be competition for starter. Looks like Beau simply wants to play. VTech would be a good place for him.
