Gotta get a QB committed. The bedrock to any recruiting class, and usually a catalyst for future recruiting.
Would love to start seeing some momentum. Offers are nice, but a given. Commits are a step up, and it's easier to build off those as the dominoes start to fall.
Anyone know when we started to see our first commits last year? I may be wrong, but seems like we're lagging but we also may be aiming higher.

Second commit was DE Mark Brown - June 20. Thanks, so not time to worry......yet. Gotta get our QB though. The fact we're aiming for more P5-quality kids probably will delay our class further. Just hope we can convert. Football, with all the decommiting, is an odd one. Sometimes it's great to have 15+ commits by August, but then it's equally frustrating to watch the decommits in Sept-Dec. The earlier signing period in 2018 will be interesting. |

Unless we get "big timed" by him getting a legit P5 offer (like Baylor), I like our chances. Interesting, he picked up an upper-tier, in-state G5 Houston offer.

Would you be surprised if they didn't go after a top notch QB or any in 18 given that they have two highly rated coming in this fall in Roane and Salazar? |

If you sign a QB it should be "top notch"; no reason to recruit a QB if you don't think he can play. Agree though, it wouldn't surprise me if they swung for the fences & if they don't land someone who's very good then pass for a year, making QB a top priority in the next class. Personally, I think you sign a good QB every year, but with 2 RS FR for 2018 it's less critical. |

I generally agree... but I would work hard for one in this class as our depth is not very strong right now... Not sure I agree with that. After the Rutgers grad leaves, heading into 2018 we'll have: 1. RS Sr. Chap
2. RS Jr. Agnew
3. RS So. Boudreau (although could move back)
4. RS Fr. Roane
5. RS Fr. Salazar
We already have 4-5 QB's on scholarship heading into 2018, which is pretty much the norm. If we add 1 in this class that's 5 for sure, and you'd probably move Boudreau back for sure. We might be better served getting a JC transfer in the spring & redshirting him in 2018, making him a RS Jr heading into 2019 behind Agnew (Sr) & the 2 FR, plus a FR in the 2019 class??
QB's in college football are fairly fluid, transferring all the time, so do agree you can never have enough but I think if there ever was a year where it wasn't vital I'd say this would be it. |

[/span][/quote] So, lot's of good points.... I would say that Boudreau is not a QB, but helped out over the spring and if you pull him out you end up with a pretty big experience gap at QB. The staff will have a pretty good handle on how quickly Roane and Salazar my get up to speed by October and therefore can either put more pressure on getting a QB or back off if they feel good... |

Like Sam Darnold and Ricky Towns were in the same class at USC |

Like Sam Darnold and Ricky Towns were in the same class at USC Recruiting more than 1 is common; signing more than 1 is not. It's actually very rare (i.e. UW this year), for the very reason like the USC example above. Towns left nearly immediately w/o ever playing, leaving after fall practice and never once suiting up. Plus, USC was short on scholarship players due to the penalties & could afford to give the extra to another QB. Like I said, I believe in signing 1 top QB in every class. We signed 2 last year because we were short. The goal is to have 1 guy per class, meaning you'll never be short on talent or experience. |

Back in the day when there was no limit on the number of recruits, I remember one year when Colorado brought in 17,yes 17 quarterbacks, hoping to get 1 or 2 great ones out of that group.

we are still at the offering stage of recruiting . Coaches should have a much better size up of our current / and Freshmen QB's later in the fall , for importance of adding a HS QB.
