Thinking about this subject this morning - right now Miami is making efforts to sign a QB for the 2021 class. Garcia, or perhaps others. But let’s presume the 2020 season is cancelled and everyone’s eligibility is frozen. In the case of the Hurricanes, the quarterback that they hope to sign would go into the summer 2021 camp competing with:
King (1 year eligibilty)
Perry (2 years eligibility)
Tate (2 years eligibility)
Machoda (4 years eligibility, no redshirt)
Van Dyke (4 years eligibility, plus redshirt option)
Now this problem will be present in any position, but because of the unique nature of the QB role and recruiting, getting a signee might be particularly difficult in the 2021 class. Rather than have at least a one year gap with Van Dyke, a new QB will be competing directly with him. It would be as if Miami signed two highly rated QBs in the same class. That usually leads to one transferring out eventually.
Thoughts?
