ScottyIce Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Putting all our eggs in the Grant Gunnell basket.Risky, but you have to believe GG will feel awfully flattered. Hopefully it's enough. I would rather not rely on the flattery a 16 year old kid feels in regards to how to operate a collegiate football team. Dude, You and I have no clue how to operate a collegiate football team. But, I do know that part of recruiting is making a recruit feel WANTED. Nothing says we want you more than, Hey, we aren't taking a QB in 2018 and you are the only offer we have out for 2019. Enough said. Tell that to Nick Saban that started a RS freshman at QB in the National Championship and still signed 2 4 star QB's in 2017. This type of flattery will bite teams. Only the best teams know that and sign QB's every year. Ohio St has 4 QB's ahead of their 2018 5 star QB. Didn't stop them. Clemson signed a 5 star QB in 2017 and has a commitment from another in 2018 I could list more but you get the point. You don't skip on QB's in any class anymore. I'm not saying we should skip one, but I trust coach riley more than I do your advice. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Michigan offered Tyler Shough. https://twitter.com/tylershough2/status/849444536942288900 8 crystal ball picks for Michigan including a pick from Sam McKewon. Michigan just got a 4* QB commit in Joe Milton. Dont think they with take Shough. Quote Link to comment

Dont think they with take Shough. If we won't even offer him, will Michigan use a 2nd scholarship at QB on him? I have no clue on Michigans roster make up or size of class Quote Link to comment

We offered a kicker a scholarship but he's going to wait until 2019 for a QB? Sorry. That's not a solid plan. 1 Quote Link to comment

While I'd like to think we can trust the coaches here, I tend to agree that from a roster management standpoint it's a huge risk skipping on a qb this class Quote Link to comment

RedDenver Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I just don't like the idea of not taking a QB.What if the staff can't get a QB recruit they like? Would you rather they take a chance on a QB recruit in a small class this year? Quote Link to comment
