Yeah, all the programs needing to purchase a QB just know where to go shopping now.

This stood out to me.

"He has a very strong arm and is build like a linebacker. He is very strong and powerful at 6-2, 225 pounds."

I would have them committed to the VOLs instead of somewhere else.

The next narrative will be “he’s to skinny and needs to be about 240”.

Before the NIL era, I would have said it was a bad idea but this makes sense. Not recruiting a top 10 QB and picking up someone serviceable. Save the NIL money and spread it around getting better players across the whole field. If he doesn't pan out, pull a portal guy.

Huh? You still have to recruit top ranked player, even at QB. You stop recruiting top guys, you will end up overpaying for a player.
