As for Treon, I wouldn't be able to get excited about landing a backup QB (I don't give him a chance of beating out Kaaya, but acknowledge that others are far more bullish on him) who could eventually switch positions and provide depth elsewhere.
Don't forgot he's Ice Harris' son. That could pay big dividends going forward if we land him.
I understand that aspect of it. It could help in the future, though I'm guilty of expressing optimism about future classes in the past and then watching as guys like Sony and Cook head elsewhere. Maybe 'crootin's just beating me down at the moment, but I'm pessimistic that we'll lose most of the elite players we currently seem to be in good shape with for next year (Jaquan, SBB, Ridley, etc) and also lose the battle for Gibson.
And at the same time it could backfire if Kaaya wins the QB battle in 2015 and others perceive the outcome of the competition as Treon not receiving a fair opportunity. That could blow up in our faces in the worst way, but then again we're clearly third in the state behind FSU and Florida in terms of recruiting with the way it stands anyway.
