In starting to think this staff can't make up their mind on a qb.

I'm starting to think they are being patient and thorough with their evaluations because projecting QBs is extremely difficult and important. Also, going all in on a single recruit that is 2 years out seems very unnecessarily risky.

I get that. It's just we are just so thin at QB right now. The story is we aren't high in any QB in 2019 and we were going to sell that to class of 2020 especially since Shrout seemed like a last minute pickup which wasn't thought out. Well 2020 is primed for a big QB, we landed a top QBs favorite HS target and now people are reporting oh well he might not be wanted even though he's good enough for Urban and Harbaugh. Its extremely early but the "he's not high on the board" line is starting to make me wonder.

I still have confidence in this class and I think we need some games with this staff to sell to recruits until we get this train a rolling, I'm just getting anxious

Who knows how much of that story is true though. We'll probably know more as the summer camps go on and names we haven't seen will pop up.

True.

I just want some good recruits. I want to be good. I'm just self diagnosing myself with B.V.S. I just need a 7 win season and a top 10 class to cure my disease.

I am about to the point where I just read this board to see if Atlanta Vol is in a thread talking about a soon to be commitment.

2 months ago this was the guy. He was probably a silent commit. We weren't taking a guy in this class because of it etc...

Then he takes a trip up north and has since been seen in Michigan gear at a practice and the VQ writers start this "we aren't all in on him crap."

The kid is the best qb in one of the best states for high school competition. We aren't all in? I highly doubt that. Not unless Helton thinks he can get the kid out of California that is ranked higher than this one.

I don't know how not taking a guy this year because of a next year prospect is a strategy that in any way sounds like something a coach would do. It's a story someone made up to make themselves feel better about losing that Carolina qb to fsu. People ran with it and it became a VN fact. There are new 2019 QBs that will be popping up all summer. Why does going all in on one prospect that is 2 years out sound like a good strategy? How do we know he's the best in his class when there will be many talented QBs that will get their 1st opportunities as a junior this season. Rumors of silent commits and wearing Michigan gear don't really mean much.

We were never not taking a QB in this class. They are just taking it slow until the QB's come throw for them. I don't know about the Bailey situation. He could be our top guy or could be others.

We didn’t lose Howell to FSU. He was going to be a Vol. I know that for a fact. Why we chose to go s different route is beyond me. But I trust this staff and that they gave their plan. They have proven that they can recruit.

That alone should tell you that our staff must think at this point we have some pretty solid guys currently on the team at the QB spot. (If we are slow playing it)

That is a way more probable explanation than we are passing on 19 because one qb in 20 may really like us right now.

Maybe Jalen hurts is coming after he graduates?

Let’s start that rumor.

I heard from a very reliable source that the reason we aren’t going all in on this kid is that Jalen Hurts is transferring to UT next spring.
