re: The goal should be one qb per recruiting cycle

While I strongly agree with the sentiment, more often than not something will happen to screw things up. More important is what you have on the roster. I think 4 is ideal. You can get by with 3 like this year, if you are confident with everyone. 2 like last year is a problem because it starts to effect your play calling and a couple of unlucky injuries and you will have a wr, like KY, running the offense.

So I believe we need 2 this year. Even if DJ Uiagalelei shocked us and committed to us we should try to get 2 because that may spook Parish after the spring

There is certainly an advantage to bringing in two qbs this year. It might end up being a very smart move.

But its all about risk assessment and balancing risks.

One thing appears almost certain at this point. A very good player who wants to come to LSU will not have a spot because we are taking two qbs. It might be a 4 star offensive lineman, a running back, an edge rusher or another defensive tackle that wants in.

So yes, there is value in taking an extra qb and reasons to do so. But there is also risk. One of these two qbs will probably never play a down for LSU and the cost will be a lineman or running back or someone else left out because there is no room at the inn.

In some years it would be less a big deal than a year like this. I cannot recall a class filling up so quickly and having so many quality recruits still interested.
