These recruiting services are more wrong about QB's then right. These kids haven't played a single snap in their HS senior season to be written off. This year draft had 2 zero star and 3 star drafted in the first round.

Interesting but I'm still on the side of always take at least 1 QB a class. It just sucks that if we whiff on MJJr., there are no real local guys that have emerged yet. Wish there was a ****y flowers or someone with that ability locally.
 
The QB is the ultimate equalizer in football. You take 1 every year and never question it. Let the busts transfer and the others compete.

Also, we don’t have a proven QB on the roster. We have a mediocre senior, 2 redshirt freshmen, and a true freshmen. Odds are at least 1 of Perry or Weldon bounce after this year leaving us with 2 going into next year. Not acceptable.
 
Actually I think you take two every year. One, the stud, the other, the guy. Sure that eats up a scholarship and it makes it harder to recruit using the singular "you are our only guy" spiel, but that is what you do. I thought that is what we did with Perry and Weldon, with the idea that "the guy" (Weldon) could also play.

You know, but for that eye....

You almost have to do the above if you are chasing guys who really think they can play. The transfer rate of supposedly "elite" QBs is insane.

Five-star quarterbacks are transferring at staggering rate across college football

If you only take one supposed stud in a year, and he leaves, you likely have a real problem. Conversely, if you take supposed studs in back to back classes, you likely have a problem as one will leave. See Clemson and Georgia right now.

So, basically you have a problem. IMO you want that problem to be more studs versus less.

Yes. You do.

And don't forget that the 3* QBs end up starters almost as often as the 4*. Land the best kid you can every single year, you never know who will work out, who will get hurt, who will leave.

One every year, two when you have a need.

We took Perry and Weldon because we were low on quality. We aren't low on quality right now, so take one.

I don’t see MJJ beating out Williams, and if he did, I think we’d have problems.

He's not being recruited to beat out Williams.... he will redshirt and wait his turn unless there is an injury. If he wants to play as a true freshman with no competition he might as well stop bullshxtn and commit to Nebraska.
 
But Tai is the MFin truth. Maybe we can try to flip him from Clemson. That dude is going to be a pro.

Agreed, at least one per year. You can't discount that a 3* may develop into a starter or serviceable backup. And you don't want the inevitable transfer of certain scholarship QBs harming depth at the position and development of other skill players (which happens when you have a walk-on QB running high reps during practice).

As an FYI, and since so many people on here hail programs like alabaga and o$u as the blueprints, in the last ten recruiting cycles each of those programs has enrolled at least one QB per year. And alabaga enrolled two QBs in three of those years.

Take a QB. If you can't convince a top prospect sign someone who can possibly move another position if he doesn't make it as a QB. An athletic multi-purpose QB.

Actually, if no one can beat out Rosier, can we REALLY say we aren't low on quality?
