re: The goal should be one qb per recruiting cycle

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.
This is exactly what I'm doing. You just have a different risk assessment than I do.

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.
It's not the 5star sure prospect that will be turned away, but the lowest ranked (by the coaches) at the position of least need (or at least some sort of combo of these kinds of factors when the decision is made.)

I dont know that we disagree that much. I acknowledged in the post the staff must have their reasons for taking two qbs. The title of the post itself reads that the "goal" should be one qb a here.
Things do not always work out the way we plan. It might be with McMillen and Narcisse both transferring the staff thinks they need two more this year.
I do think in a ideal year you should get one qb recruit. I also think the way kids transfer now is different than in the past, more qbs are transferring than ever before and more waivers are being granted. So we dont need to depend on HS recruits as much as before because there are more qbs transferring than ever before.
The guys running the show at LSU are doing a good job and I assume they thought this through. Getting two might end up being the right choice this year.
One thing is probable, a good player who might have contributed at LSU misses out on a roster spot this year due to numbers while one of the two qbs we got never finishes at LSU.
