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

LSU has recruited QB this season with Bohannon, Foster and Rogers. We were somewhat close on Fields before he chose Georgia. Unfortunately Lindsey Scott transferred, but he likely would not have jumped Brennan or Narcisse and Lewis has now transferred.

I suspect we get at least a preferred walk on, but we may still pull Foster; although it's not likely at this point.

I would have taken a chance with Corral unless there are too many red flags because he has all the tools to be very good. The Canada situation needs to be cleaned up and we need to have a good season with Brennan/Narcisse and we should recruit hard for QB for the 2019 class.

All they gotta do is offer

LSU can find a 2-3 star guy to commit and hope with. That's not the point of the thread. For LSU to compete for championships they need to bring in 4+* QB's and even then its no guarantee that 1 of those guy's can start 2+ years and lead the team to a NY6 game. But its a must for a blue blood school to maintain annual success and O was supposed to be able to fix this glaring issue at LSU.

Its a probability thing. Just like any other position. Certainly a QB recruit has a much lower hit/miss ratio vs any other 4+* position, but there's still a better possibility for success with a kid that has multiple offers from other big time schools vs a guy with only a 2-3 star rating.

O needs to find a guy that has real potential and other blue blood schools want him just as bad as he does. Somewhere, Somehow, every year.

So you're saying that LSU has 3 unknowns but to get a 4th just in case?

I understand the argument but it's not like LSU isn't recruiting QBs and may have fall back plans? Who knows? If anything we should probably go after a grad transfer next year if one of these 3 don't work out this year. I would say go after a transfer this year but I'm not sure if they have anyone available that aren't just as risky in this class.

LSU might also feel really good about the 3 we have, that if one of the younger guys don't develop like they would like, maybe McMillan is good enough to win us some ball games? I mean who knows at this point but it isn't too late to put on the full court press if LSU feels that's needed. I'm sure they have a plan in place. I would worry too much.

All day long!!

Neither will any QB we bring in.

AGAIN.....we have no clue what the coaches are seeing in the QBs we have currently on roster.

Nor did I say that we should not be recruiting QBs into this class at all.

90% of your post are telling people how wrong they are. I get it....you think I'm wrong. You've only said it 200 times in every reply. Not sure what qualifies your opinion as fact, compared to the thousands of other regular joes here.

If anything we need an experienced QB that is on the same level as our young guns. If they aren't ready then a freshman sure as hell wouldn't be unless we get lucky as frick.

LSU did go after QBs that they thought could compete with our young guys but those didn't work out. I think MB will surprise some people next year and will probably lose some games for us but also win some for us as well. At some point with how our QB position was set up when O got here, the QBs will have to learn trial by fire, and grow.

If we had the option to get a Jake Fromm or someone of that nature, it would be great, but we don't. Obviously they feel good with what we have compared to what was out there. Maybe putting that responsibility on Myles and Narcisse will help them both develop faster?

Myles doesn't come across as someone who will procrastinate his position, he will get ready for what's coming. I'm worried about the WRs developing with him myself. I think Myles can get the job done but the first few games might be rough. We don't have any cupcakes to warn him up. He will just have to work his butt off and LSU will have to do some unconventional training to prepare these guys. Put them through the freakn ringer, make it hard on them, as well as the WRs.

Yes. That is exactly what I am saying. Increase the odds of finding a winner. (Unfortunately, I don't believe McMillan is as unknown as most of us would like.)

I guess it bears repeating. QB is far and away the most important position on the field in college football. LSU needs to over-sign that position and let the lesser talent transfer out. LSU does that at DB, WR, and OL. Why not at QB? Why not increase the odds in LSU's favor? Why hope and pray for success at QB?

Knowledgeable folks believe that Rogers is signing with TCU, and Foster will be a tough pull with Saban, Fisher, and Taggart chasing him.

It isn't too late? For what? Tomorrow is the first day of the three day NSD signing window. There's about to be a SHITTON™ fewer QBs on the market.

I'm sure LSU is trying hard to bring in a 4-5 star QB. If they can't, do you bring in another McMillan type of QB??? Or wait till next year?

Again, tomorrow is the first day of NSD. There will be a SHITTON™ of QBs who will sign LOIs and be off of the market.

Next year is looking nearly as barren as this year. LINK. Our best chance right now is Johnson, a QB from Oregon.

Highly rated?

They're just two guys right now. Their ratings means squat.

I frequently disagree with cra but I think he's right here. Why would you not make it a priority to fill the QB coffers? It's still the most important position of the team and the one that's especially difficult to project to the college level. You get your numbers up, the probabilities can work in your favor instead of against you.

We cannot assume that Brennan and Narcisse have this locked up. Neither have really shown anything. It's a need.

I also agree that pressure creates the diamond. In other words, this is a position in which a culture of intense competition has to be created to bring out the best in everyone. Brennan wins this job this year, he shouldn't think he has it won permanently because there should be another two QBs right behind him that could potentially take his job from him. That can't happen if QB "isn't a need" this year. It has to always be treated as a need.

Very, very well said, and I agree completely!!!
