Apparently Caleb Williams will be blogging weekly on his recruiting experience and personal life, etc.
This entry briefly covers his experience with Oklahoma.

You can tell Caleb his family are very methodical in their recruiting approach.

A kid from Florida did this with a local newspaper a few years ago and it turned into a shite show.

Oklahoma think they have him 100%

Yeah, he has definitely been trending towards Oklahoma the past few weeks. After his visit there later this week we will hear some feedback on how he liked it next week.
Nonetheless, if he goes to Oklahoma, he'll definitely have to sit awhile behind Spencer Rattler who will be just a redshirt freshmen this upcoming season.

not to mention they have Tanner Mordecai and just signed Chandler Morris. They already have a pretty good QB room, same as LSU, but LSU's timing works a bit better for our 2021 QB recruits

How many times does this need to be brought up before people realize that he'll be waiting to start for the same number of seasons at LSU and Oklahoma. Rattler will be 3 years and gone. It will be 1 season of waiting regardless of whether he chooses LSU or Oklahoma.

3 years starting now?
Or will Rattler just need to play this year and next and then he's gone?
Rattler could leave as after his RS Soph season, is that what you are saying?

I'm saying that CW will likely only need to back up Rattler for 1 year. The same amount of time he would presumably be a backup at LSU. Because this coming season will be Rattler's second college season, and CW's freshman year will be his third.

Rattler will be a sophomore and Brennan will be a junior, so it's not the same. Williams will a freshman during Brennan's senior year and Rattler's junior year.
Predicting a QB to leave early before he's ever started a game is a bit silly.
Using the same logic, Brennan could go pro after next year and Williams could start here as a freshman.

It's not silly when you're talking about the number 1 QB in his class playing for a coach in a system that produced back-to-back first-overall picks. A system that turned a game manager into the heisman runner up. To me, the most likely outcome is that Rattler goes pro as soon as he's eligible. In fact, I would be kind of shocked at any other outcome.

You're right! But this is, in my opinion, not nearly as likely as Rattler leaving after his 3rd season.

Rattler as a recruit was more talented than Baker and Kyler. It is absolutely a safe bet he will leave after 2021 and be a high draft pick.

Totally agree with your sentiment, but he won't be eligible after this coming season. He's got 2 more years before he's eligible, but i fully expect that to be the extent of his OU career

The odds are extremely high that he will be a complete failure, or at least have some other set-back that will delay his success.
He may not. I wouldn't predict that level of success on anyone.
Go look at the top QBs over the last few years. It's a complete shite-show. By your logic, Shea Patterson (2016) and Deondre Francois (2015) should have been early-entry top picks the last two years.
They were the top-rated dual threats those years.
Then you have Kellen Mond (2017).
I wish Rattler nothing but the best, and he may be awesome. But the odds are against it.

This isn't rocket science. At Oklahoma, Williams will have to be a backup for Spencer Rattler's redshirt sophomore season and his redshirt junior season.
At LSU, he'll only have to be a backup for Myles Brennan's one and done redshirt senior season. Which, the last time I checked my math, is only one year and one year less time as opposed to at Oklahoma.
Now, this is assuming that Rattler heads off to the NFL after his redshirt junior season and that Brennan stays at LSU for his redshirt senior season and that Williams does indeed win the starting job.
In fact, if Brennan has a spectacular redshirt junior season and becomes a highly sought after NFL prospect after this upcoming 2020 season, then Williams could actually possibly come in and compete for the starting job immediately in 2021.

Since 2015 to 2017, since i was lazy and didn't feel like going that far back, I looked at top 3 QBs in the class and only 2 of the 9 went pro early (Rosen and Tua). So it's not a given he will go pro early also given the limited sample size he's produced (11 total passes in career).
Another thing to consider is how well Lincoln Riley actually develops these guys. No doubt Riley is a phenominal offensive coach. But all 3 being transfers played decently for their previous teams given they were either a freshman or a national championship winning qb. I'm not saying he won't go pro as soon as he can but to act like its a matter of fact is bit presumptuous.

Wrong. Rattler will be able to leave after his redshirt sophomore season. It is the same thing Jamesis Winston, Johnny Manziel, and others have done.

Fair point.

Kyler was average to bad in 2015. Again, Rattler is supposed to be more talented than all of them. You could see against us, he has an incredible release and a good arm. There's little reason to think he's not going to be fantastic.
Posted on 3/3/20 at 2:55 pm to tigre704
He threw 3 passes and completed one of them. Incredible release and good arm don't mean too much if he's inaccurate or just doesn't read defenses, not saying he doesn't or won't learn to. My point is, its just to early to tell if he'll be a sure fire first round draft pick in 2 years or at all.

Lol the odds that Spencer rattler will be "a complete failure" are absolutely not "extremely high". If you think this is true, you are clueless. Do you think the odds of Myles Brennan being a complete failure are extremely high?
