  1. Is it true that Nathan Stoner – QB from Southern Guilford will also be attending in the fall? If so, Quakers will be deep at the QB position.

  2. Not sure if Nathan Stoner will be there at Guilford, but I thought he might be looking at a military academy with his dad’s military background….

    I am sure that Guilford Quakers’ QB coach from 2014, Chris Barnette, will not be there…

    Barnette has left Guilford and he is now the QB coach for the N.C. A&T Aggies…Good move up for Barnette…

    Barnette did a good job in his coaching up of Matty P. and Barnette will be missed at Guilford College…

    Guilford may want to go after Steve Bartkowski(former Atlanta Falcon) if he is still available…Bartkowski working with Pawlowski would a Sharpe move….
