'20 GA QB Harrison Bailey (UT SIGNEE)

That is the mentality that allows multiple years of mediocrity.

It is not an attitude or mentality. It is a fact. Our team needs more quality depth at several positions, more than we need two QBs in this class. So why waste a scholarship on two QBs, esp thinking that one will leave? I think Pru hired Chaney for a boatload of money, telling him to get the best players and to coach them well and put high scores on the board. But scholarships are limited. Every need and best case cannot be filled in one or two classes.

The single most important position on the team is QB. It's also one of the more difficult to evaluate. If the staff wants to take two, then I want them to take two. Why we collectively insist on explaining why that's a bad decision is baffling to me.
Good luck figuring it out.

What did I miss exactly that LittleVol did? I know he was arguing about Harrison Bailey not being a starter because of Maurer did more stuff happen?

If Dobbs had not been taken as a second QB because they had Riley Ferguson in the fold, how would our best seasons in recent memory have turned out? The coaches don't want a second QB in case someone transfers. Too many people regurgitate someone's opinion on this forum as fact. I promise you they have a way better handle on numbers and needs than you or I do. If they feel a second QB is necessary then it probably is very necessary.

The coaches might have a better assessment of needs and numbers than we do, but we can still cuss and discuss them. Bailey is not Ferguson, who lit up the scoreboard for Memphis. So I do not thlnk that association is useful. Tam got our second qb recruit as their first, so the issue is mute unless Pruitt goes after somebody else.

I’m ready for several people on this board to “mute” themselves about this issue. You may just be onto something.

you mean, moot?
 
Doesn't change my opinion of HB in the slightest, but surprised not to see him budge at all in the updated ESPN 300. Luginbill and Co are nuts.

He also noted "it's a weak QB class" when someone asked how the #1 rated QB was 48th.

ESPN sucks.

All of the rankings on 247 are jacked up so they may be doing an update, but it looks like 247 dropped HB to 190th and a 91 in their rankings.
 
He’ll throw 6 touchdowns a game against the toughest competition in GA like he did last year and they’ll drop him to a 3 star because he can’t run or something
"Ears too pointy. You like to see more of a nice rounding on a kid if he's going to become elite. That's too bad...just...pointy"
