Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

So we should throw more money at a portal QB to come here, then let GMac transfer after next season, after we paid him a boatload of money to come here to begin with, having never played a meaningful down for us? Heaven forbid the kid actually improve with an off-season of first-string reps.

If we're not going to play the QBs we actually recruit, then we need to stop paying them to come here.
What we need ( talking vol nation) is to quit
Acting like every QB we get to come here is going to hit the portal if they don’t start in year 2.
Nicco wasn’t ready, unless you just want to write it off as a “re building year”!
A lot on here have dubbed this year “a rebuilding year “.
So I guess we can go with “rebuilding year 3” next year and start a not ready QB.

So you'd rather take a top portal QB every year and just not recruit HS QBs.

They see GMac all the time. They know if they believe he will be good enough. This offense is designed to make bad qbs good and good qbs great, etc. The main thing is making sure the qb can throw a decent deep ball.
They see GMac all the time. Yep
I just hope they do a lot better evaluating what they see than they did with Milton /Hooker year 1
And Nico last year , - after the OU and Ark games we were told coaches said they though Nico was further along in his development.

That’s a dumb take from what I said.
And the complete opposite of what I’d rather do.

We recruited a top 2 , 5 star Played him before he was ready, his “people” couldn’t accept he wasn’t ready , blamed the coaches and players around him and hit the portal! Recruited 2 top QB’s to Follow.

Dream situation, Nico for 2 is here and back next year, Gmac for 2 , Brandon for 2.

As is Normal, in the age of NIL and Portal Coaches plans didn’t work out , so you gotta go plan B .

If Plan B is starting a FR or Soph in the SEC on a regular basis is a plan that will fail.

QBs aren't cheap. Paying 3 of them means less money to spend elsewhere. Which means the defense suffers. And this season has shown what having a poor defense can do.
 
Regardless of how GMAC progresses in the off-season, we are going to have to take a QB from the portal. There’s very little chance Merklinger is here next season. So we have to take another QB no matter how GMAC and Faizon look.
Exactly, 100% correct.
And the likelihood that GMac or Brandon are ready to ball out and win against the best SEC teams is slim.
So go get someone that is already ready.

Yes we have to take a QB. It doesn't have to be a top QB. It's not like Aguilar was actually considered a top QB.

You don't have a clue how ready GMac could be by next season. It all depends on how he attacks the off-season.
