2019, barring any transfers, we expect to have Jack Allison as a RS JR, Evan Shirreffs as a RS SR, and a RS SO for who ever our 2017 QB is....
That spells transfer for the 2017 QB because he's going to have to work his tail off just to play 1 year and be asked to transfer so that the 2018 QB doesn't have to do the same. It's bad for the team to go through a different QB every year. At some point we have to have that Freshman or RS Freshman come in and start so that receiver recruits know it's a dependable QB returning. This means that if the 2017 QB is not good enough to beat out Allison, he will most likely end up a depth QB regardless.
I would rather get another Evan Shirrefs type player to fill the 2017 slot, someone who wants and values the education, will work hard and possibly compete for a shot at the starting role when needed. But someone we can depend on to fill the depth chart and not transfer out.
I feel like if we stick with N'Kosi, he will think he is too good to sit and wait his turn, and will end up transferring and leave us needing to grab 2 QB's in one cycle.
If we can bring in someone who has the same attitude that Jack Allison displayed in his tweet saying "he ain't scared of competition" then bring him on. I don't think N'Kosi is going to be scared to compete with Allison, but I don't trust he will stay with the program if he isn't in line to start by his 3rd year here.
