Duke's Greg Paulus (G) to play QB at scUM?

They're getting desperate up north...

Michigan could be next stop for Duke’s Paulus

DURHAM, N.C. (AP)—Greg Paulus’ next home could be the Big House.

The Blue Devils point guard visited Michigan to explore the possibility of transferring there to play football, Duke spokesman Art Chase said Wednesday.

Paulus’ visit came Tuesday, the same day word leaked that he worked out for the Green Bay Packers in advance of the NFL draft.

Paulus thought about resuming his football career at Duke, but coach David Cutcliffe’s team is set at quarterback with Thaddeus Lewis preparing for his fourth year as the starter. Paulus hasn’t taken a snap in a game since 2004, when he was a high school quarterback in New York.

He would seem to fit better in Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez’s read-option scheme than in the pro-style system favored by Cutcliffe, who considered trying Paulus at slot receiver.

“He’s a quarterback at heart, but there was no way he was going to be able to compete and play quarterback for us,” Cutcliffe said.

Paulus, who played four years of basketball at Duke but never played football there, would have one season of football eligibility.

Michigan spokesman David Abluaf declined comment and Rodriguez has repeatedly said he only talks about players on his roster.

The quarterback situation at Michigan has been a question mark ever since Rodriguez was hired in December 2007.

After freshman quarterback Tate Forcier enrolled early to practice this spring with the Wolverines, Steven Threet announced he was transferring and Nick Sheridan was sidelined with a broken leg after sharing snaps last season for the Wolverines.

Rodriguez insists Forcier will have to continue to compete with Sheridan and the speedy Denard Robinson when he gets to Ann Arbor this summer.

If Paulus ends up in the mix, it wouldn’t be the first time Rodriguez found a quarterback playing another sport.

His third-stringer at West Virginia in 2005 was J.R. House, a minor-league catcher seven years removed from his record-setting passing days as a high school star in Nitro, W.Va.

House backed up then-freshman Pat White and threw four passes in two games, then quit the team to return to pro baseball.

I think scUM recruited 2 other QBs and already have 2 returning QB's

 

[mixman]

I thought they only had one QB carry over. Threet transferred (again), remember.

What is 'scUM'?

Is that some sort of secret code?

 

[The George]

first of all the kid was never going to really play... he was being recruited because our 1 and only backup Sheridan broke his leg in spring practice and yes Steve Threet transferred

Tate Forcier will be the starter

a true frosh who will show up in the summer Denard Robinson will be the designated runner cause he is a ridiculous athlete...He will get a few plays here and there

Paulus was getting a look for depth reasons only... and thats why I dont think he ever comes to UM but it certainly is a big story

 

[cdt]

Yeah that must be nice...play PG for one of the best basketball programs in the history of history...and the most winning college football program wants you to play QB? Even though I hate them but w/e..

If I was that dude I'd go to the nearest sperm bank and start negotiating dollar amounts

Secret code, like secretly being a Pistons fan on a Cavs website? This should be a fun series for you to watch, my friend. For those that forget, click on this a-hole's name and look at all his past posts in the Cavaliers only loss versus Detroit this year. Oh, and of course there is this gem:

Hughes first year as a Cav he avg. 15.5 ppg, Mo Williams coming into tonights game had a 15.9 ppg avg.

Not to mention, Larry was twice the defender.

Just sayin'...

If you think Mo Williams is a star player, think again.

:chuckles:

Enjoy the beatdown d-bag!

I'm not even a Pistons fan...

I don't hate the Pistons, but I wouldn't exactly call myself a "fan" of theirs.

Okkaayyyy....

6 straight Eastern Confernce Finals apperances, 1 World Championship.

The run was bound to end sometime...

We'll never see a team make 6 straight ECF's again for a very, very long time. Bank it.

The Cavs, idipot.

Who Will Win The East?

I pick Detroit, I think they are more complete than Boston and are better defensively. Plus Doc Rivers hasn't done jack in the playoffs.


Give me your insight...

Talking pretty good about the Pistons...

We'll see. I just don't think he's that spectacular. Are we better?? Sure. But again, we're 0-3 Vs. the best 3 teams we've faced this year.

And even you can't deny that's a nasty trend.

Weren't we on like an 8 game run or something before our loss to the Pistons??? We're aloud to lose one.

We have alot of worthless players in our rotation (Gibson, Pavlovic, Wallace). Look at Detroit, they have savvy vets, but also a solid core of youthful legs (Afflalo, Maxiell, and Stuckey played during the entire 4th quarter). The only real guy like that we have is JJ Hickson who should be in the D-League...

Other than LBJ falling into our laps, we haven't had the type of success with our draft picks that have allowed us to build a stronger team. I like Gibson, but face it, when his 3's aren't falling, he's completely obsolete. He can't defend, he's a mediocre FT shooter, and can't run the offense.

I know, I'm being a pessimist, but tonights loss ticked me off. We need to beat an elite. We blew a huge lead in Boston, and we blew a huge lead in Detroit. Mike Brown needs to be getting some of the blame for this.

Again talking pretty good about the Pistons...

Honestly fellas, I'm not a Pistons fan. Although I kind of wish I was, because at least I would've seen my team win a Championship! (JK)

No but really, I'm just venting (its what message boards are for right)? I haven't posted much since I signed up, but now that the seasons started, I needed to blow some steam without waking up my wife.

Tomorrow's a new day.

I'm not appreciating the humor.

I'm off to sleep, nice talking to you fellas. The standings say we're in 1st, but we now know that's skewed.

IS IT SKEWED??? In first after our loss to the Pistons, still in first today.




And since you are a die hard Pistons fan, you are probably the only one on here who doesn't understand scUM.
