Rattler wasn't successful because his team wasn't very good. Burrow was extremely successful, under a "caveman" defensive head coach, because he had great players around him and a good co-OC. The old narrative was that Mario wouldn't be able to land elite transfers because he's not an offensive...

Here's last year's final Top 10: 1. Michigan- #5 QB 2. Washington- Transfer 3. Texas- Transfer 4. Georgia- #19 QB 5. Alabama- #13 QB 6. Oregon- Transfer 7. FSU- Transfer 8. Missouri- #53 QB 9. Ole Miss- Transfer 10. Ohio State- #6 QB, pushed out and replaced in Portal

Dante Moore is a transfer. Nussimeir was the 13th ranked player in LSU's own recruiting class. He was also not a Top 10 QB. Miller Moss was not a Top 10 QB and was not even the highest-rated QB in USC's recruiting class. The point isn't "stop taking high school QBs" or "never take a...

I've seen it before. And while I respect you and your presentation, it's outdated info that's all over the place. Look at the Portal-era examples on your list. Stetson Bennett is not a "recruited kid." He's a walk-on who went to JUCO and transferred back. Mac Jones is a three-star. We know Joe...

You're looking at it backwards. I don't care why they left. I care that they're available. That's the key of the Portal. The SUPPLY of transfer QBs is overwhelming. There are a million of reasons why Top 10 QBs don't work out for their teams. You listed a bunch of different ones. But the...

Stroud was a stud. So was Bryce Young, who also signed that year. Every other Top 10 QB that year transferred. Every single one. And remember, Stroud and Young walked into loaded situations around them which allowed them to succeed. Other elite prospects like Bo Nix and Jayden Daniels weren’t...

How did it make OSU better? Their QB situation stunk last year and they went Portal this year to fix it.

I would say Texas came out ahead in that deal. Ohio State is currently starting our backup plan from the Portal.

Correct. He carried Ohio State there, just as they imagined when they signed him to a huge deal out of high school. Right?

Here you go: name the best quarterback in CFB for 2024 who: (1) was a Top 10 quarterback out of high school; and (2) is on the same team that signed him out of high school. You're going to go far down the list of top teams and top QBs before you find one. As for the "narrative,” Mario is trying...

Which question? I answered yours directly.

You can’t answer the simple question I posed so you’re changing the subject. We aren’t recruiting as well as Georgia. Judd was not my pick. Nobody ever pushed either of those arguments, so you’re arguing with the wall. The point was that NOT A SINGLE top quarterback entering the 2024 season...

A simple concept that most understand pretty easily: the top teams are already on top when they sign blue-chip QBs. It's an easy sell and they don't need to overpay. But let's look at the top schools' starters next year: Ohio State- Transfer Georgia- #19-ranked QB Michigan- Battle between 3*...

So just to recap, Carson Beck was the #19 QB that year and ranked below the likes of: DJ Uiagalelei Evan Prater Ja'Quinden Jackson Hudson Card Malik Hornsby Harrison Bailey Luke Doty Haynes King Ethan Garbers Shane Illingworth Jay Butterfield Chubba Purdy Tyler Van Dyke Jeff Sims Drew Pyne So...

You’re doing it wrong. That’s the pro-style ranking. Here is the overall QB ranking:

Carson Beck was the #19 rated QB in that class. So take another crack at it.

So I take it you can’t answer my question? As for your question, the plan shouldn’t be “sign 3-star QBs.” The plan is to allocate a modest amount of NIL to high school QBs and sign the best player you can sign. As the team wins and improves its brand equity, you will have more options for that...

I'll say it clearly once again: don't pay big for high school QBs. It's a bad investment. Eight portal QBs compared to three high school QBs in this year's draft. And one of those three high school QBs was a low-ranked kid from Boca Raton. @TRick72, here is an exercise that might help: name...

This was never the company line. Mario loves splashy signings. But the numbers speak for themselves: 8 transfer QBs drafted compared to 3 from high school (and one of those was South Florida 3* Michael Pratt). I hadn't heard the Raiola thing ever being that far along but I can ask.

I don’t think anyone knows what Stone is going to do. We have done everything we can and he loves the school, as does his family. That gives us a great shot.
