I don't like using the word never, but I see no reason whatsoever to sign a QB out of HS for big money going forward.

and a RB wants to be the feature back.


I really don't think that's the case anymore. The days of a feature RB toting it 30 times a game, 12 games a year, for 4 years are gone.

You can be part of a two or even three back system and put enough on film to get a high draft grade. Make just as much money on your first NFL contract with less than half the wear and tear.

LSU will probably recruit 14–15 players every year and get the rest thru the portal. Too many high school recruits will start to leave after one year to seek higher offers and more playing time.

they will go to the schools offering highest NIL $. Those schools will still be the premier schools and not mid tier schools.

But if you're a premier school, why pay a ton of money for a dude to sit on your bench then possibly leave in 1-2 years?


Seems like a better use of money to let him get experience playing elsewhere, then pay that player in a couple of years to come to your school.

Michigan did last year. Have any 5 star qbs signed with any mid tier teams recently?

The discussion wasn't about the past, it was about the future.
