2018 5* Matt Corral QB De-Commits from USC, Open To All Offers

We don't need a QB in 2018, remember. We have it all locked up for 2019
We don't need just a QB, we need the right QB. We aren't taking one to just take one, but will take the right one if we can. Doesn't seem like it is too difficult of a concept to grasp.
Exactly. Typically, I would be beating the drum that we need to take one every year.

The reason why we weren't taking a QB is because of the extremely small size of the class. If a really good QB for this system would have popped up and was wanting to commit, I'm positive the staff wouldn't have turned him away. But, they aren't going to use up a spot in this small class for a QB that probably wasn't going to be successful in this system.

Now, with departures and possibly more room in the class and if a QB like Corral were seriously interested, I'm sure they would try to get him.
We are taking a kicker in this extremely small class. If there is room for a kicker, there is room for a good QB
We will not have a kicker next year, so that is a little bit different situation. We will have 4 QB's next year that the staff feels good about (3 if Lee is a stud this year). If you bring someone in that isn't as good a talent as what we already have on campus, then you dont take one. Especially, with one QB a RSfr and the other a TRfr.

Under certain circumstances, aka Gunnell committing, some us thought that would warrant passing on a 2018 guy. Those circumstances have changed with Gunnell pledging to A&M. However, even with that there still seemed to be no indication at this time that we'd be taking a 2018 QB. There still isn't any indication we are taking one outside of a reporter recently naming us a darkhorse for a recently decomitted 5star QB, who we haven't offered.
Without Gunnell in the picture or with Corral in the picture or other unforseen circumstances perhaps the idea changes one way other another.

But I'm not sure your agenda on pushing your opinion against on an idea some posters had that is no longer relevant due to Gunnell's decision.
It's not really an agenda. The post was sarcasm towards our coaches not taking a QB every year. And I will beat that drum that they are making a mistake every year they don't.
I can respect that opinion.

Alabama has taken AT LEAST on QB every year since Saban became HC. That's all the proof I need that you don't skip that position.

 
I am thinking if we don't sign a QB we will be bringing in a walkon
Some think that's the hope with the Kearney Cath kid, but I'm not sure if that's true.
Wait. So we don't take a QB on scholarship "just" to take one but we hope we take a walk on?
Yes? Big difference between giving a kid a scholarship just to take a QB and bringing in a walkon. Not saying we shouldn't sign a QB but I don't see how signing an average player is better than having a player of similar talent walk on.

Come on. You understand the difference between a QB that takes up a limited scholarship spot and one that doesn't.
As Mav has stated and I agree, we aren't THAT limited. And you guys act like we are going to go Bo Pelini and take a last minute kid from nowhere. There are still A LOT of very good QB's available. And they would fit the program.

If a kid is a walk on, he is not similar talent as a 3-4 star player.

He is actually a 3 star walk on.

That is debateable. Either way, I'm not against taking a QB whatsoever. I think we should pursue Corral. But I'm just saying if we don't sign a QB, I think we bring in a walk on.

That's not the kid from Kearney Catholic

It's not debatable
