QB recruiting hypothetical

IMO stop at Bubba and not try to predict the outcome of the draft. If he signs assume he's going to play. The main thing that worries me about having 3 QB's in this class is transfers...and the increased likelyhood that someone like Carnes might end up at Western Kentucky because things are becoming increasingly crowded. I might change my mind after seeing Coffman's senior season, but as of right now I'm not that high on Coffman, and don't think we need 3 dual threat QB's this year.

I'd rather see T-Mart stay at QB than bring in a yet another question mark at the position. At least T-Mart has a couple of years in the system. I still have high hopes for him at QB. (probably one of the few)

Regarless, it surprises me that with all of our recent struggles to recruit QB's...we have 3 quality players with us at/near the top of the lists this early. Good sign for sure.

You can never have too many of these guys, especially when there are options and question marks for a good deal of them.

Of those guys listed above, Taylor Martinez and Jamal Turner could play elsewhere on either side of the ball because of their athleticism. I could see Taylor and Jamal playing a Percy Harvin type role on offense since they're both quite good with their feet. Of course both would do equally well in various Wildcat formations too.

I think the staff will like having that kind of depth with options, especially when some of those players could contribute at other positions. Needless to say it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.

i think you might be able to pull that off with TM but i think JT is pretty set on QB and i dont thin he would want to be placed anywhere else..... its QB or bust with that guy

I saw somewhere today that Turner would be open to playing slot . . .

Was thinking of our 2011 QB recruiting situation as it stands at the moment. Our chances with Bubba Starling are 50/50 heading into tomorrow (Fri. 6/18). Cameron Coffman has also mentioned that he's high on NU as well. With that in mind, let's assume Bubba does commit to NU at the end of June, then if it were up to me, I'd still go after Coffman too.

It might look crazy having three QB's in one recruiting class, but not when there's a good possibility that Bubba Starling might not even make it to campus due to the MLB draft next summer. In which case Coffman would fill that 2nd QB spot for the 2011 class along with Turner. On the flipside, if Bubba decided to skip the MLB draft and focus on college, then we could just recruit one QB from the 2012 class or none at all and still be good.

Bear in mind that we lose Zac Lee and LaTravis Washington next year.

What say you?

I've always been a big fan of QBs named Bubba! :koolaid2:

 
I know its another year down the road, but Tavarius Bender should be among the list hypotheticals. It sounds like he could be one of the top 10-15 QBs next year, and he reallllly wants to play for NU.
