re: Imagine being Ricky Collins...

4 star, highly regarded local QB, understudy of a Heisman winner and his heir apparent Nuss. In comes AJ and Colin with Bryce now on the way. Easy to think he might bolt but he's gaining invaluable knowledge and skills with top notch coaching, training and technology in a proven QB friendly system. When does he see the field with meaningful snaps at LSU?

I think Ricky Collins will have his chance to earn his spot like every other QB. When LSU signed Howard, some thought he is going to come in and take over, JD5 was the clear #1 and Nuss showed he was the clear #2 (which is why Howard left to Ole Miss where he gets there in 2023 and he is #3 behind Dart and Sanders).

Nuss has shown he is QB1 for 2024, and I think he is ready to shine. Ricky has the chance this Spring and next fall camp to show where he is on the depth chart along with Swan (Vandy Transfer Portal) and Hurley who was just signed. UGA had 3 high 4/5***** QBs on its 2023 roster, 1 of them hit the portal and went to UK. Bama signed Saylin a 5***** from California last month, in 2023 they signed 2 4****, Holstein from LA and Lonergan from GA. In 2022 then signed Simpson from TN, a 5***** and Milroe was signed in 2021, also a 4****.

Holstein looked at the QB room and was not going to hit the field, he went into the Portal to Pitt.

That is modern college football regarding QBs.
