What makes it a desperation move? Did we lose Kaaya or Rosier?
Maybe Golden has finally decided to start lying just like the rest of them. ****, Treon isnt even listed as a QB on Scout or ESPN. 247 has him listed as an "athlete/QB." Only Rivals lists him as a QB.
They had plenty of time to evaluate him as a QB and should have known whether they wanted to offer him at QB 3 months ago. Like you said, we're not losing the committed QBs so why do we need to offer another now? This one just happens to be a local star who definitely influences other local studs. Just at a time when several local studs seem to be defecting to FSU.
Al didn't just drop his pillars and all that **** now and decide to lie to a kid just to get him here. If he did, then he's a moron for doing it way too late
I'm still of the opinion that Golden is not going to consider him at QB, which is the same as Jimbo Fisher IMO. The kid will be a DB and the major recruiting services (and most of us here) already know this. GOlden might be feeling some pressure and decided to play the game at the level of his competition.
The Kevin Olson saga might also be a factor here.
Either way, Im not seeing desperation, rather a change in circumstance.
