There is NO justifiable reason why LSU does not have a QB commit

LSU has three QBs after this season:

Lowell Narcisse
Justin McMillan
Myles Brennan

It's more than possible that one ore more leave. And we don't really know what we have in those QBs that stay. That's an untenable situation for any position. It's wholly unacceptable for the most important position on the field.

After LSU's history of lackluster QB performance, it's damn near incompetent that LSU is in a position in which it doesn't have a committed or probable commitment at QB. There are any number of committed recruits that are far less important to LSU's future than a QB.

With the last ten years of experience, how in the flying frick is LSU without a QB commitment or probable commitment at the most important position on the field?

Perhaps the ones we are recruiting don't want to commit yet?

Perhaps a reason they dont have a QB commit is because of this. Brennan will be a SO and Narcisse and FR, so there isnt great opportunity here.

You are melting over nothing. McMillian is not going to go anywhere, otherwise he would have done so by now. He has a chance at competing for the starting spot at LSU, and there isn't any decent program he could go to where he would get anything else. Brennan and Narcisse are likely to battle for the starting job right up to game 1. Why would either transfer?

How many QBs do you expect to have? If we can bring in a quality QB in this class, awesome. If not, next year is the year that we NEED to land a QB.

You really need to learn to time your melts properly. This is a pre-melt based on incomplete data. Bring your melt back after the scenario you imagine, actually occurs. The time for that is after the final signing day.

Not even then. Name a team who has needed a 4th string QB to accomplish anything.

IF we don't sign a QB
And
IF one of the 3 transfer

Then its time for a little melt.

It's not a melt; it's being proactive.

AFTER we don't sign a QB
And
AFTER one of the three leaves

Is too late to react. Then, you're just fricked.


AND what if all three stay, and the three don't look any good? McMillan and Brennan have not shown anything, and we haven't seen Narcisse. They are three unknown quantities.

It's not a good idea to let a year go by without getting a commit at a position . . . especially QB.

So the coaches don't see them every single damn day? I think you should trust their evaluation of whats needed.

Well we got 2 last season, and one redshirted, so just look at it as Narcisse is a QB from this year...and BAM you have that one QB you so desperately need.

Why don’t you just wait until players are able to sign before you go into doomsday mode?

I agree with your premise. I think we need to sign a decent QB prospect every year and create annual competition at that position. I feel competition has been sorely lacking in the quarterback room for most of this decade. It's always seemed like there was one guy who was basically anointed the starting spot each year and they were treated with kid gloves to "build their confidence". I trust that CEO is building that competitive environment and it would be good to have someone else (in the mold of Baldwin, Corral, Bohannon, Foster, Rogers) to throw into the mix.

If we can't find a competent starter between McMillan, Brennan and Narcisse, then we are fricked regardless of whether we sign a QB in this class. You'd really feel good about throwing a true freshman out there over 4* Narcisse, 4* Brennan and a RS junior?

I think it's too early to melt, and if we don't land one this year, I'm hoping either nobody transfers or there is a grad transfer that we can bring in. But, not landing one this year will definitely hurt for 2019, IMO. I can't imagine all three of Brennan/Narcisse/McMillan will stay for TWO more years.

Take some valium and relax. We will get a top rated QB this class. We have until the beginning of February, and you don't know every QB prospect that we are talking to.

To be fair, LSU doesn't know either about Qb's from judging the past 10 years from who they signed out of high school.

I agree.

No, I wouldn't, but I wouldn't want to throw
a true freshman out there in 2019 either. Let's get a QB in now, start preparing so we have a contingency plan for 2019. It's what Raymond is doing with Goodrich.

I think it's safe to say that there is no other position that is as up-in-the-air as QB right now. We really don't know what we have. And it is far and away the most important position. And we have no current commit. And for the QB recruits with an offer, the likelihood of one of them committing is 50% or less.

We should not be in this position given our recent experience.
