Walsh was a major national recruit from a powerhouse HS program that also produced Joe Mauer, Seantrel Henderson, Chris Weinke, Michael Floyd, Matt Birk, and Paul Monitor among others. Getting his commitment was considered a major win for JJ.
Dorsey wasn’t a major national recruit like Walsh he still would be considered a high 4 star recruit In todays terms. He choose Miami over Tennessee and UCLA. Both programs were absolutely rolling at the time.
He is fine as QB2, having him commit on the eve of losing our first choice QB1 is what people are bummed about. Not to mention he is the first 24 commit. It’s a let down. It’s not the kid’s fault but the optics and timing of it is off. We would be clowning FSU or UF if this situation played out for them.

People keep talking about grabbing a QB from the portal aren't thinking clearly.
Do you know what kind of offer it'll take to land an legit established starter? High school players are getting millions. So.. every bit of that.
Oh and that's only IF a good QB even enters the portal. Then all we'll have to do is fight off every other school that needs QB, hope our 7 figure offer is good enough and pray he's better than Mario's last transfer QB, Anthony ****** Brown.
I really hope we don't end up settling on some group of 5 transfer to be our game manager either.

I don't know **** about this kid but, I will say that none of these numbers are based on what these guys did as JRs in high school.
I hope the staff has accepted his commitment expecting a much better performance as a high school SR and hopefully he lays down some film that earns him a legit high3/low4 star grade.
Still not what we want in a QB1 recruit but a stellar SR year will make this take more tolerable if he ends up being the sole high school recruit for this class.
I gotta be real..... I don't like this take even as a #2 QB. Do the "Big Boys" take guys with these numbers? I thought we're supposed to be stacking talent.
Maybe I would feel better if he was allowed to commit AFTER we already had our #1.

Here are my two thoughts:
1. I believe that 9 months from now, we will be very happy with this class, possibly with another QB in the fold. We'll look back on today as just something we had to get through.
2. This reminds me of when the Bears traded up to draft Mitch Trubisky #2 overall. Biggest night of the kid's life, but Bears fans were not impressed and were total jerks about it. I kind of felt bad for the kid, but the fans ended up being 100% right about him.

Numbers can be deceiving and he’s a prospect. No one is looking at him to play year 1 or 2.
Need to take a second qb in this class though

Dorsey was also a two sport letterman in football & basketball & was a USA Today Honorable Mention for the All-USA Selection. The rankings were quite different back then, but he for sure would’ve been a 4 star QB by today’s rating formula.
People are ****ting their pants on a 3-star QB commit for the 2024 class in April of 2023.
In other news, grass is green and CIS gonna CIS...
If you are going to get this upset over a commit, here are some steps for you to take:
1. Open a window.
2. Go outside. You know, where the light is.
3. STOP CARING SO MUCH ABOUT RECRUITING HIGH SCHOOL KIDS THIS EARLY.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
