this happens to excellent teams: a lot of competitions and at the end of the day, good players leave because there are better players.

I suddenly remember our situation with CMC when he was able to secure commitment from Re Al Mitchell and then of course, we got Brock Purdy. Speaking about Re-Al:

The younger guys on this board have no idea the kind of QBs we had at the end of the Walden years and in the early McCarney years. The caliber of high school recruit that Campbell’s staff can go after now is on a whole other plane. I’m not knocking Marvin’s Miracle or Bob Utter or the other guys, but they were not in the same league as the guys above and I’m sure they would admit it.
 
Recruiting the QB position has got to be so tough. You want quality depth, but you've already got Dekkers for the next few years, signs pointing towards Becht being good, etc. I imagine most QB rooms are a bit cluttered but it has to be a hard position to recruit with only one seeing the field at a time.

I think about this a lot. You ideally want to have your planned starting quarterbacks to be spaced out by two years. That way, you can get 2-3 years (depending on redshirt) to get some good use out of them, while the next one learns the offense, then when you starter is finished, your next person up will either be a sophomore or Junior.

This is why I was surprised Aiden stayed for as long as he did, even before last season, it seemed like he was the number 3 quarterback on the team, behind Purdy and Dekkers.
 
I think we are set at QB for the next few years. Hope he signs on the line that is dotted, but if not, that's ok too.

I’m not going to count on Hunter being around more than a year, which would open it up for the younger QB’s a year from now.

He’s got a ton of physical potential, he’s been in the system for two years (unlike Brock when he took over the starting role), and he’s going to have what may be the most talented receiving corps of the past forty years.

Much as when Breece and Jirehl committed while David Montgomery was still around, I’m pretty sure that young Mr Kohl is quite aware of the possibilities.

If Dekkers has a banner year, will NIL cause him to transfer?

Kohl is literally the definition of a prototypical QB. I can’t remember the last time we had a guy like that.

Not a knock on our previous successful QB’s by any means, just that many of those guys had something atypical with their traits. Purdy being a bit undersized, Seneca also being smaller and more athletic, even Dekkers being a lefty and a bit stocky.

Kohl really could be something special if he puts it all together.

Nah. If Dekkers played that well, there would be a strong chance he’d declare. Dekkers would probably be gone after 2023 in that scenario. I doubt Kohl is demanding to be a day one starter.

I’d be more concerned about Becht in that scenario.

More truthful is: the young guys on this board have no idea how little the sports programs were so minimally fundrd.
