Why no qb signed? Are we still looking to sign one? And yes, i know we signed bentley but thats a 1 year deal. I think every class needs 1 qb signed for depth and potential transfer concern.
Our coaches don’t care about recruiting rankings or what other teams are doing. The kid is huge and very athletic. He has a strong arm and I’m sure they feel they can develop him. With Rising in the program for 3 more years we need a big QB signing next year, but this year we can go after a guy that might need a few years to develop.
^ this…transfer portal adds another source for talent and an element of free agency to college football and basketball. It was always there, but not as player friendly as today.
Portal or grad transfer is a good way to go for QBs. Only one position to fight for and high level D1 QBs don’t like to sit and watch from the sidelines. Look at the USC QB situation. I would say next year will be the year for heavy QB recruiting. Probably why Powell flipped after signing Bentley and Rising’s upside. Seems Ludwig wants big pro style kids with big arms that can run when they have to type of QBs. Coaching from the Couch :)…Go Utes!
Wonder what will happen at USC next year for QB. Slovis only came in because the starter-phenom was knocked out for the year. Will one of them be content to sit on the sidelines next year?
I believe two other 4* QB’s came into ASU with Daniels last year. Would like to take one of those assuming there’s a quality fit. However, to avoid transfers and ensure depth we’ll see coaches recruiting and carrying a mix of experienced and/or ready talent along with developmental talent. Even the blue bloods are losing their depth for playing time opportunity elsewhere. This should bring/introduce? some parity back to college football.
