Don’t put all the blame on UNLV Sluka bares responsibility as
well and might find it hard to get another FBS School to offer
him. I believe SBU will try and get a QB from the Portal with
more than one year of eligibility
[/quote] Last time Sluka was in the portal he lingered for a
long while and then he had to settle for an opportunity to
compete for a starter position (at UNLV) as there were arm
concerns. His performance at UNLV (albeit 3-0) didn't put those
concerns to rest. This year he has to overcome all that plus
concerns he quit on his team over money (unwritten promise or
not).
I agree an FBS scholarship offer (forget NIL cash) for QB1 may
not be forthcoming for Sluka.
I was thinking local guy (Kellenberg) who absolutely tore it up
v very good FCS (and limited FBS) competition at Holy Cross.
And we need a QB. But it is farfetched and he might have crossed
FCS off his list long ago.

Haven't been on in awhile, so cycling back to some old
news...part of the reason Sluka lingered in the portal so long
last year is that he insisted on remaining at, and graduating
from, HC, which chased away alot of bigger programs who wanted
him there for spring practice. Despite the late start he was
able to come in and win QB1 over another QB (HMW) who turned out
to be pretty good after Sluka left. As for his arm concerns,
completion percentage has always been a mild concern with
respect to him...the UNLV numbers were exacerbated by some bad
WR play...the sample size was small enough that a few bad
routes/dropped balls could have drastically changed his numbers.
Having seen all of his UNLV starts, its not a stretch to say he
could easily have had a completion percentage over 50%, a bunch
more yards, and a few more TD's if the WR's executed. I know
"over 50%" isn't overwhelming, but with more yards and TD's we'd
be talking about his arm alot less at 50%. This time around I
have no doubt that the UNLV divorce coupled with the completion
percentage hurt him drastically...he should do big things at
JMU.
