With the talent we already have at QB a guy would have to be either very cocky, or totally in love with ND to commit here.

In reply to Brad. I don't think we should take one just to have one, but I think we need one. Your worst case scenario sounds like a nightmare to me. Crust goes down and it's 2007 again

In reply to The Biscuit.

1) Kiel isn’t coming
2)Taking a 3* QB just to take a QB will probably hurt QB recruiting for next year…unless you knew for sure that someone was transferring.
3)2013 is pretty strong year for QB, especially compared against this year.
4)We have other more pressing needs

In reply to SDI. I agree with Poot, Frank, and SDI. I just don't think its necessary to have one this year, and they shouldn't recruit one just to have one. Even in a terrible scenario where Hendrix and, say, Rees both leave after this season, we'd still be sitting with Crist as a 5th year, and a rising Golson. That isn't too terrible, and would require two of those guys to leave. I don't think that will happen.

In reply to SDI. I think we need a QB. I dont see all 4 guys sticking around after this Fall once 1-2 figure out their place on the depth chart.

I agree with Poot (and Mike Frank). With Crist, Rees, Hendrix, and Golson, ND has plenty of QBs. Ideally, you get a 4 or 5 star QB in every class, but if those type of guys aren’t interested this year, use the scholly on another position of need–where you need more than one guy at a time on the field.

We need a definitive Big 3 of QB, RB and WR. That means long shot or not, Kiel, one of the Marshalls and Beckham….then, welcome back to the big leagues.

In reply to PootND. I am also an idiot and failed to take into account your line "among the ESPN 150." But still, RB spot makes me nervous after missing in the last class. If we get another CB or two, could we see Darby's speed in the backfield? Just another guess/wishfull thinking

In reply to E-Man. Armstead seems to have legit interest but yes, he is currently "verballed" to SC.
