The point is, we didn't put all of our eggs in just Robert Lane. We kept recruiting. First with Matt Flynn then with JaMarcus. It was trying to get the best talent together, convince the QBs that were receptive, and then let the competition play itself out.

I don't have any way to prove this, but after seeing Surtain and now Gunnell play out, it seems like O may think that maybe we won't get Gunnell if we begin seriously courting another QB.

If that's the case, that's ridiculous. I don't know why seemingly all of the attention has to be spent on Gunnell. He knows we want him badly, and we could use two QBs in this class anyway. At some point we have to hedge our bets. We're being too desperate.

It's gonna be hard to recruit ANY QB with 3 young QB's in the fold already. I feel sure some of them feel there must be greener grasses rather than try & unseat a RS freshman , along with another QB already here that is a Jr. I think, much less the guy who has been given the starting nod as a sophomore QB . It's asking a lot of a QB who will have to come in cold, and possibly wait his turn for 2 or 3 years.
