I'll say that this is one time a bump in ranking is directly related to an on-field improvement. Judd played significantly better as a senior than a junior. I'm still not sold that he's anything more than another multi-year project but I'll give him credit for taking a step forward this year.

When Jake Garcia couldn’t land the starting job he transferred. Miami should have had a blue chip option to take his place right away. But they didn’t and we got stuck with a bunch of projects. The funny thing is, Miami’s coaches actually believe in trying to sign blue chip quarterbacks. They...

The reason top QBs transfer so much is because the top schools hoard them and when they don't beat out any of the other 5 star QBs they're competing with, they transfer. We're not Texas with a quarterback room full of elite prospects. The only way a 5 star QB would be transferring out of Miami...

You're not on the hook to pay anyone who isn't progressing or producing more than a year. Let's say you shell out money to sign a guy and he gets paid as a freshman but he's just not progressing and isn't ready to take the job as a second year player (any blue chip QB should be capable of...

That's true but wouldn't you rather have a two or three year starter than have to rely on signing a portal guy every year?

I addressed his entire post. He said QB recruits are expensive. I said so are portal QBs. He said develop the guys you believe in. I said if you're planning on just signing a bunch of 3 stars and trying to develop them, they have a much higher probability of being busts than 4 or 5 star...

We just payed “allegedly” millions of dollars for a portal QB. Good quarterbacks are going to be expensive, period. Pay for the recruits or pay for the transfers. Otherwise you’re just hoping to find a diamond in the rough. Because if you think 5 star quarterbacks have a high bust rate, 3 star...

Yeah but I was talking about first team guys who get a vast majority of the practice reps. TVD played for Lashlee in 2020 but he was a distant backup to King.

I quoted you because I found the bolded part interesting. We've really had a ton of inconsistent quarterbacks over the years and even the guys who played well never seemed to put it all together. So I started to think about who our QB coaches have been. 2023- Shannon Dawson 2022-Frank Ponce...

The irony.

There's only 32 5 star players every year. 61% of 5 star players get drafted by the NFL. There are over 2000 three star players every year. 5% of 3 star players get drafted by the NFL. Of course there's more 3 star players in the league than 5 star players because there's literally...

Exactly. Physical doesn't just mean using multiple tight ends and running it up the gut for 3 yards over and over while taking the entire play clock to run a play. You can dominate physically from spread formations while running no huddle from the shotgun every down. There's one game I always...

You get the once in a blue moon Josh Allen who wasn't recruited out of high school and had a very non-descript college career before becoming a pro bowler in the NFL. Coaches fall in love with tools and they see a big kid with a big arm and they always think they can fix him. It rarely happens...

So is this kid Jack Allison or Arthur Sitkowski?

I would have given D'Eriq King the QB job while doing a tick-tock dance if I was Rhett Lashlee in 2020. He was definitely not coming to "compete" with N'Kosi Perry and Payton Matocha.

There is no sure fire way to guarantee good QB play. You need to chase big recruits, grab tools-y project types and scour the portal. The fact that Alabama, who signs a top QB recruit every year had to make a desperation heave to try to steal our quarterback and then ended up settling on a...

I guess you can go by whatever definition of low you’d like. I was just saying his rating had him closer to 3 stars than 5 stars. Jacurri Brown falls into that same category. These are the guys Miami should be able to sign yearly.

The 4 star range is from .8900 to .9800 Tyler was .9173 which puts him a lot closer to a 3 star than a 5 star. It's at the "lower" end of the 4 star spectrum.

Tyler was a 3 star on 247 and a lower 4 star .9173 composite rating. He was the #7 "pro style" passer in the nation.

This is true to an extent. You don't necessarily need a top QB recruit every year but you can't just settle for Georgia Tech quality players either. Tyler Van Dyke is a good example of the kind of guy we should be signing yearly. A lower 4 star type that doesn't have every program throwing piles...
