How many scholarships left? I see Derreck Knadi is visiting the 17th. That could close out the recruiting for this year.

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

So Greene only gets a scholarship when someone gets kicked off the team?

Can't believe it's taken me this long to think about this-- is anyone concerned at all that we don't have 2 QBs in this class? That's no knock on SC just a sudden panic attack I had. What happened if Brax did bail and JT didn't work out or got hurt? With Brax taking a swan dive in the second half of the season I'm suddenly realizing all this offensive talent doesn't matter if we don't have an effective QB to lead the team. Look how much we needed KG to step in the last 2 seasons. For some reason our QB depth seems very vulnerable right now.

Not worried. I think Braxton will continue to improve and I have faith in JT Barrett. Several reports that he's fully recovered from his injury & I expect big things from him. If Braxton were to leave, I'm sure the staff would go after a JUCO kid. I know they had contact with Jerrard Randall (former LSU QB) before he committed to Arizona.

I expect 2 QBs in the 2015 class.

 

[buckeyebri]

With Brax there will be 4 QBs on schollies next year. That makes sense I.would say.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Anyone remember the UCLA year that they dropped 2 QBs for the season on the same day in practice?

I've mentioned earlier...I think Cardable is going to do big things before he leaves.

If that video was of a 2014 recruit, would you want the kid?

Heck yes, it's like the pope in the woods!

Wow. Really? Mili getting me stoked about Cardale! I'll buy in. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised by Big C.
