2024 Cedrick "CJ" Bailey 3* QB from Chaminade

You were right but you weren’t the only one. Lots of us were watching highlights of him throwing to Trader and Smith in stride scratching our heads asking why we wouldn’t recruit him.

But let’s imagine we had. We still take Ward. So Bailey rides pine this whole season and the entire fan base clamors for another portal transfer anyway. Let’s be honest. Bailey going to NCS was a win/win. He gets playing time and chance to become a big time recruit. We get to evaluate him and decide whether or not he’s the right guy to replace Cam based in real P4 game film.

Bailey has impressed no doubt. I’ve been a big fan. But I’d rather take another option at this point as our starter for next season.

Yeah I don’t think Bailey being UMs developmental QB leads to him eventually being the starter. He gets tired of waiting his turn and transfers. If he had been the tipping point for Smith though, then absolutely drop Judd for him.
 
Well there are only 2 regular season games left in this season and then we have to start over at QB once bowl/playoff season is over.

@Coach Macho has said that Miami is interested in bringing him home.

So not really that surprising if you ask me.
People bumping in after that Stanford(barely better than FSPoo)

Nobody bumped it after Duke

That duke game overall was a big disappointment to Bailey and the whole team. NC State seemed to have turned it around and then blow another home game. Duke was the much better team. Murphy was the better QB. Lets see how Bailey does against @Ga Tech and @UNC. I could see NC State losing both games
 
Our staff chose Judd over this kid. Let that sink in. Bailey is still young and far from perfect but we took a major L in that evaluation. Because of that decision, we now need to hit the portal for another QB for the 25’ season. Clearly, the staff can’t count on Judd or Luke to be the 2nd string.

We will also never know if Bailey helps bring JJ last season. 🤔

Yes but wasn’t playing time a big factor in his recruitment? He wanted it and we just couldn’t promise it to him
NC State didn’t promise him PT either. They said he could compete with the starter just like Miami. They portalled for a QB also. Their guy got hurt and Bailey had to come in a play. He has played well for true freshman. He would have been the second stringer here or redshirt and get better.
