Let is play out jesus christ this is like the 10th time you've brought this up. I like Taisun too but a 3star QB from CT isn't going to inspire any of our other targets in that class. There is no point in giving him a committable offer right now. Kid still has a lot to prove. Let's see if he shows out in Paradise camp again before you throw a pity party.
the point is if you want a guy you should offer him, regardless what the scouting services say.
And if you bs recruiting, especially at the qb spot, you can really **** yourself. QBs typically commit early on in the process.
Now personally I think its clear the staff has that Oregon qb [URL=https://www.canesinsight.com/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=1]#1 [/URL] on their board. That much is pretty obvious. So I understand them going for him. But that can also be bad if we don't even have a good shot at landing him, and we spend a **** load of time focused on him but kinda ignore anyone else at the position.
Now who knows if Tai would even commit if he was given a commitable offer. Basically I think Paradise Camp will be the point we want to have a qb by.
It looks like they like Johnson in Oregon. And they've offered him and are recruiting the **** out of him. Just because you and Dee prefer the kid in CT doesn't mean Rick does.
If Johnson's their guy, and he's showing interest, which, according to his own family is very legitimate, then you go to battle for him. UM shouldn't bow out of recruiting battles for guys they really want unless it's clear there's no chance.
Thats not what im saying chise. Its not relevant how much of a chance we actually have (& whos right on that point or not) its unless hes told us hes coming period than we need to have other options we do our dillegence on as well. Thats the problem everyone had with coker is he only recruited the one kid everyone wanted who was the star & he never had a back up in case that didnt work out. Now everyone is supportive of doing that exact thing for some reason & it makes no sense.
You've mad a ton of assumptions. Just because they've made it clear Johnson is the #1 target doesn't mean they aren't working behind the scenes on backup plans. Jarren Williams silently committed 10 days after they pushed Sits out. Do not compare this staff to Coker. We've already got 2 talented young QB's on the roster if we start throwing multiple public QB offers you're likely going to turn some kids off. That's the nature of recruiting QB's. Make them feel like they're the only one.
Im not making any assumptions. Im saying what i know. Not sure what your point is on jarren. If youre saying we were in communication with him while sits was committed youd be wrong. It was simply lucky timing on our part. Cant count on luck with stud qbs. Its a fact that lil richt is doing exactly what coker was doing. That just is what it is... we talk with tai on a weekly basis and 1 other qb from california but we wont extend any more offers until we here from johnson jr. No stud qb is gonna take us serious unless we extend an offer.
