RECRUITING INSIDER: Some insight on the two 2020 QB commits/crazy week

It IS important but not as important as winning head to head vs. a team we play every year.
Potential huge week for our DL
Good shots to land Gunnerson, Witt and Wilson.

I agree with this but I also feel like CMC winning some head to head recruiting battles with Frost for instate kids is a really important thing.

1 for 1 so far with Wilson just committing.
Strongly agree, big week indeed. Let's get these guys on board and see the wailing begin from baby brother at Western Illinois Technical School in Iowa City.
They thought they would get Gunnerson without much competition. Didn't expect Neb to be such a PITA.
B.S. That's not how good recruiters do it. We are good recruiters.
Those all were made within a few days of him deciding to no longer row a boat. The exception being the MN guy who switched this weekend. I'm guessing that he ends up at Iowa, but they have a lots of DL commits right now. May not matter to him, but hopefully it does.
Certainly could be the case. My greater point is that we don't know but there is evidnece that Wilson was a higher priority. There's also pay-wall info that supports that. Not that it can't be inaccurate or a fluctuating situation. Hell, some of the staff may have had differing opinions as is often the case.
I don't know how many DE the staff wants in this class, but my money is on us landing Gunnerson (and Wilson) but Witt goes to Iowa
No clue why Witt would go to Iowa, when they already have 7.5 bajillion defensive ends in this class.
WRT having 2 QBs... they also tend to get hurt a lot. Since Seneca, what, only Meyer plated a full season?
We are all jacked up about Purdy, but we were saying the same about Kempt at this time last year, and he got dinged and was basically done.
As long as they are competing positively with each other, and not causing divisions in the locker room (something I think we can trust this staff on), then this is only a good thing.

I think you should bring in at minimum 3 QBs every two years. Six is a good contingent with 1 or 2 additional redshirting. You probably aren't going to have all of those though because you are always going to lose some upper class-men to transfer or a position switch.
Also, many high school QBs are simply the best athletes. I used to get sick of hearing about Iowa's teams where about every other linebacker, receiver and d-back would have high school QB in their bio. They are generally the best high school athletes or someone who understands the game better than anyone else on their high school team. Bringing in that kind of player is a recipe for success.
