There no way he goes to lsu. Houston as a bridge to Henderson?

I think there’s a chance that if Oregon doesn’t write a big enough paycheck, a team like UH makes some sense for one year to rebuild Lagway’s resume and see if he’s viable for the NFL in the following draft (2027).  

Lagway’s priorities should be staying healthy, building his resume against Big 12 defenses, and putting himself in the most comfortable, easiest-path-to success environment as possible.  UH makes some sense, and Fertitta has the money.

Why does everyone think he's going to a top D1 school? Kid hasn't been healthy for a full season yet, and when healthy, he hasn't been a consistent world beater other than this year against Texas when took everything underneath).

Cause he's really talented and young 🤷‍♂️
Top schools according to Pete Nakos are LSU, Miami and Baylor.
Baylor would make the most sense to me.

He's a junior, isn't he?

Yeah but he's 20 years old still, he graduated a year early no?
Maybe I'm confusing him with someone else.
Regardless, he's a talented guy...

1) We see his measureables.

2) We saw his HS tape.

3) We saw his freshman season highlights.

4) We understand that college coaches drool over the things listed above and don't always act in rational ways.

What about tech? It’s not out of the realm of possibility as bad as Lubbock is they definitely pay well. I wouldn’t mind seeing him there.

I understand the sentiment (and largely agree with it), but Lagway is still a name that a big school in need of some buzz can sell, and he does have legit tools IF & WHEN he’s fully healthy and placed into an ideal environment (offensive scheme, other playmakers at skill positions, good OL, etc).

Given the egos of many P4 coaches and the deep pockets of their boosters, I don’t doubt that some P2 program will write the big paycheck and pursue here.

The flip side of this (and, IMO, the most likely outcome) is more of a Florida State and DJ Uiagalelei situation.  The guy took the big paycheck at the big expectations P4 school, but wasn’t physically / mentally “fixed” yet, and failed miserably.  Or maybe Carson Beck at Miami, although he has his team in the playoffs and has showed some decent signs this season (along with some really bad ones).

If I were in Lagway’s circle, I would think twice before signing with a high expectations P2 program and betting on a complete rehab in that situation (say, Oregon).  I would advise him to step back to an easier, more comfortable, lower expectations situations and work on a lower-stress way to rehab Lagway’s career trajectory both physically and mentally.  
 
This guy appeared lost and broken most of this season, physically and mentally, and a fresh start to rehabbing the resume is desperately needed.  Heck, if he does well at a place like UH (or wherever), he’d still have an opportunity to go for a huge NIL paycheck in 2027, or the NFL draft.

I would have reservations if I was a power school. Maybe year three is the big jump for him ... but he has not been a quality QB to this point. 20 TD's and 20 INT's vs P4 schools, and he had offensive talent around him in Gainesville.
