WHY?

Why cant we sign a 5 star QB. We are seriously loaded in all positions except the most important?

How about Brandon Harris?

name the last few 5 star QBs we signed please

Those guys aren't super keen to come to a place with 11 attempts a game and a bad track record.

Louisiana doesn't produce 5 star quarterbacks. most of the high schools put their best athlete at the qb position.

it doesn't take a 5 star q.b. to "toss dive"
Posted on 1/25/16 at 3:27 pm to ulmtiger
Because we run it more than pass it

There was actually only 2 five star QBs in this years 247 composite rankings. But I agree that signing at least a four star QB every other year should not be that much to ask.

In very general terms, the recruiting services give out 5 star ratings to the best 25-35 or so guys in a class each year at all positions. A quarterback can be top a 5 qb prospect in the country and not have 5 stars.
Top 250ish to top 300ish get 4 stars.
Top 500ish to top 750ish get 3 stars, etc.
There are a ton of fricking kids that get recruited to play college ball every year at all different levels.

Why is "produced by LA" relevant? We signed a 5* QB in 2009 from Houston TX (Russell Shepard).
Saw how that turned out. I'll never get why he wasn't QB at LSU.

Since 2007 (Rivals ratings used):
2007 Jarrett Lee 4*
2008 Jordan Jefferson 4*
2009 Russell Shepard 5*
Chris Garrett 3*
2010 Zach Lee 4*
2011 Zach Mettenberger 4*
Jerrard Randall 4*
Stephen Rivers 3*
2012 Jeremy Liggins 3*
2013 Anthony Jennings 4*
Hayden Rettig 4*
2014 Brandon Harris 4*
2015 Justin McMillian 2*
In that time period, Rivals has had something like 17 5* QBs. Only Michigan, Notre Dame, and USC signed 2 5*s in that time frame. LSU signed one, and had one committed who never got on the plane.

Yet the only 5 star NEVER played QB, or even threw a pass.
Posted on 1/25/16 at 4:06 pm to ulmtiger
Because they won't see the field right away. They have to sit two years behind Harris. These kids want to play right away

He couldn't throw the ball,matt Flynn took him to the field and embarrassed his throwing arm.??

One of Michigan's transferred out after a season, as did one of Notre Dame's. Max Browne for USC has all of 15 career attempts thus far.
The actual point is that 5 star QBs are rare at roughly only 2 per year, and that extra star doesn't mean much. Alabama has signed 0 Rivals 5* QBs in the same time frame.

Yes, the rankings can be way wrong since we all can agree that Shepard was not a QB. It does surprise me that Alabama has not signed any since their recruits seem to get the "Bama bump" once they commit.
