I agree, QB is a different animal Archived Message

Deion had early success, ppl shit their dicks. Az State hit the portal nearly as hard, they are still dogshit. It’s going to be hit or miss. We will have to use it, but it’s no substitute for recruiting the HS players we want and need. Previous Message I don't see it being substantively different than recruiting HS kids. It's an even smaller pool of difference makers that everybody wants, and only a few can afford. You can find guys who fit particular needs, but unless you're coming with cash, you're going to get outbid. I'm not saying not to try, but I don't see it as the panacea. Edit: QB is the one position where this doesn't apply as much simply because there are so few starting positions to go around. There are always going to be high-pedigree guys out there who are blocked from starting... Altmyer being a prime example... and he's pretty good, actually.
