Yeah, its only a review of the spring position lineup, but I feel there is something seriously missing from this 'article'.

A 'D minus' for Jared on this article.

It is a bit light on content. Would have been a good opportunity to provide some insight into the other QBs on the roster.
Do you really need insight on walkons we've never heard of before?

Here's my insight:

If Purdy goes down, pray.

If Dekkers and Bouman can play a lick, then ok, but if they can't, pray that Devin Larsen is the second coming of Kyle Kempt.

Do I NEED insight into those guys? Nope. But when your article is barley 4 paragraphs, your backup QB transferred out and you're left with 2 true frosh and couple guys I know nothing about.....get my point yet or do I need to keep going?

Devin Larsen had an offer from Idaho, but chose to walk on at ISU. Blake Clark played at Dowling and was the holder for kicks, and attempted the fake play against Texas.

What else do you want to know?

It’ll be really interesting to see what will happen with Bouman and Dekkers in 2-3 years. I’m not a huge fan of signing 2 quarterbacks in the same class, but both seem like good prospects.

Is there any team in the country that would benefit from having their starting QB injured?

Alabama and Clemson seemed to do OK when they went to their backups....

But, your point is valid. 98% of the teams when they lose their starter are gonna struggle. Especially one that has been a starter for a few years. I'm surprised they didn't try and bring in at least a body as a grad transfer to be a backup. I know it is harder said then done and grad transfers are looking to play, but just a body would have been nice.

Purdy goes down, SINGLE WING.

CMC clearly likes Larsen a lot. I’d like to hear more about why he does.

And that the receiving corps has a Lazard and Butler type.

They need that anyway.

I hope you’re not terribly disappointed if we sign two again this year.
I know Wright just committed but I have a sneaky feeling Cooper DeJean is going to follow a somewhat similar path as Hunter Dekkers and command a lot of attention during the summer of and into his senior year. The kid is just on a different level athletically than anyone else on the field. I've never seen a more dominant player in 2A football and now OABIC has been reclassified to 1A. Of course he's a Hawk fan and recently received an offer from them.
