No game experience to be had. Plus coaches use the bye week to travel some too. Not to mention the players may be given time to go home and not be on campus to host.
But that's the Idaho date, so he should have a lot of time with the coaches.

Well lets see:
1. I do not expect 5 QBs to get reps. I want to have 5 prospects and the coaches will pretty quickly identify those that are in the upper tier to potentially play. You can not do that when they are in high school. You actually have to sign and practice them to really see who MIGHT be a QB at this level.
2. As I have said earlier in this thread, I am not in favor of 6 OL in one class because someone usually gets lost in the shuffle. Well in a QB battle several always get lost in the shuffle it does not matter whether there are 5 or 6 candidates. Still the more candidates the more likely you find a good one. That said, I would not expect nor want 6 QBs prospects on the roster when you have a semi-established so so QB as UF does now. I mainly through in the 6 when I was talking about the possibility of playing a WR at QB due to injuries of all your scholarship QBs.
3. No one ever in the history of football has transferred for better coaching. (That is hyperbole.) Players transfer to play. That happens all the time with QBs. That is what Brissett, Martin, Kresser etc did and ended up in the NFL which likely would not have happened had they stayed at UF.
4. My view is that high school players do not worry about competition much. They think they are better than everyone because up to this point they have been. And certainly in the past when UF had good QBs UF was able to sign other good prospects. This has been particularly true when new GOOD coaches have shown up at UF and needed to find a QB. Also high QBs scared of competition often do not turn out to be good college QBs.
So I am still hoping UF finds a second QB for this class.

It's a long shot, but these two 5*s and a half dozen more 4*s would give us a top 5 class.

And everyone here (including me though I don't think I posted about it) who criticized Mullen for wasting so many resources in CA would have to eat crow.

I think we are in basic agreement on this. You clearly want more prospects to less, but I agree you need to make sure taking another prospect doesn't cost you a commitment you already have. I also agree there is no reason to take a prospect just to take a prospect, but I am pretty confident that these coaches are not going to do that, as I think in general programs at the UF level do not do that. I have continually suggested this would be someone UF flipped because I am not suggesting going way down the board just to take a body.
As far as coaching a player goes, I suspect you get coached hard at places like UF until the moment it becomes clear that you are missing something and really are unlikely to get on the field. I doubt that happens the first year a kid is in a program, but from there on you have to earn your attention from the staff.

Are you fcvktards still pontificating about how many QB's to take? traz and insti - talk about a marriage made in heaven.
I firmly believe that we should take 4.5 QB's. Who's with me?
