Unless you can get a big time QB in this class I think I agree. The issue I see is that it is much easier to recruit WRs with a big time QB in the boat. The transfer they would get could be great but it won’t help much in attracting ‘24 receivers because it would be after ESD or right before. Even if Miami has something in Jacurri/Emory, there won’t be enough good tape out there of them for this years class unless something goes very wrong.
Risky how? We have 2 QBs on the roster, Judd makes 3, i rather them get a Portal QB than someone like Jackson who doesnt even seem better than Judd. If u aint flipping a top man thats the best route
Risky as in you aren’t guaranteed to get your guy in the portal and if you miss you are in trouble. You had a ‘if’ qualifier there and I agree. We need to do a better job recruiting HS QBs because once again relying on the portal is risky.
LOL at not wanting to rock the boat with Judd and the media suggesting we let him dictate what we do with QB recruiting. We most likely go into next season with only 2 raw unproven scholarship QBs. We should be taking 2 HS QBs and an upper class men transfer to compete with Jacurri/Emory.
His performance at a camp is now becoming a stuff of legends…. Let’s call Judd what he is and that is a solid QB2 because he has upside. It reminds me of the brief time people were getting gassed up over Taylor Cook here.
U are not likely to get anyone better than Judd in high school QB recruiting that can remotely compete with Jacurri and Emory. I dont want numbers, i want someone who can compete for the job and even if it was Air i doubt even he could. So no
Not sure who other poster is that’s referring to Kiffin “maybe” offering Judd but Ole Miss has already offered. It was actually his first ever offer in February of 2022. Maybe they suddenly have renewed interest but would seem odd given the reasons you listed of their current situation.
That’s your position? I call BS. If Mario is an elite recruit and I believe he is, we should expect to and do better than just Judd. Let’s also recall that when Judd was being recruited we were being sold on him being the QB2.
It’s as simple as this: which program in the Top 20 right now would want Judd as QB1?
Not even a camp a 7 on 7 tournament that led to a UGA workout where they said nice things about him. They have zero intention of pursuing him unless their current QB2 flips somewhere else. Leave it to fans to turn it into something it’s not.
No by all means go after an elite high school QB. But they are all committed elsewhere and they aint starting next year. None of them. But this Jackson guy is not it. So if thats the choice i want Portal.
I agree with you that based on what we have the portal is the best route but it is risky and it underlines my frustrations there. We have dropped the ball QB recruiting wise. Whether you believe in JB or not the reality is that he was a project, Emory is a project and now Judd is a project. We need to do a better job recruiting QBs. Judd is so raw, his footwork is garbage and his stats are pedestrian. Not sure who we flip or find but we need to do better at QB recruiting and I’m not asking for the world here. If TVD is gone which he probably is after this year we are in a bad spot and nobody to blame but ourselves. JB looked horrible in the spring game and didn’t look good in 22, sure he has time but a roster that otherwise should be pretty **** good in 24 might get clipped before it takes off because of bad QB recruiting.
Im not judging JB off 1 spring game. I trust other people like D$ who seen him the entire spring. Also a spring game where he cant use his best attribute. So no.
