While I understand the portal dynamics in today's CFB, I kind of agree that we should be able to recruit and develop a QB.

Nope. I disagree. It’s generally not a good value proposition nowadays. A top HS qb will cost as much if not more than a proven portal QB, but you have no idea how he do against college competition. The money strategy is to find an elite QB in the portal with 2 or more years of eligibility. 3 is like winning the lottery.

A coach can see how he does against college competition and make a better eval. What is important is that the offense always looks productive (which means getting a game ready qb) so that when a qb at a lower tier P4 stands out, he will be interested in transferring to Miami to get on a bigger stage.

What I would like to see is UM get the top qb from the portal, and then a high ceiling productive QB from G5 or even FCS. Pretty much what WSU did when finding Ward. I just don’t see much point in recruiting a mid level 3 star qb out of HS when it’s unrealistic that he will ever get the starting job.

Interesting study would be how many ⁵ star qbs are still w team 2 years down road
Figure 5 star costs most, is investment worth it?

I completely agree with that first paragraph to a tee. Texas has paid Arch a ton of money to ride the pine for two years. I get that they have endless money, but most others don’t. (Yes that is hyperbole). Too many Jaden Rashada, Malachi Nelson, Dante Moores out there compared to Nico.

@Phydeaux

You can filter by year and position, but 2021 recruits show the trend.

can't really argue against your points but, if so, why recruit HS QBs at all?

Problem is that the HS QBs aren't really getting a chance to show anything...

He's going to be expensive and we are in it. I still have questions about him, but I have no problem with him coming. Him and Singleton would be nice. I could just focus, **** I am just focused on D. Silver would be huge. I thought he was originally going to USC, but maybe not. Those 3 will cost some big money. It just so happens we had big money freed up at those same 3 spots.
