I don't get the argument of not being able to attract a top QB in this class because they see Nebraska with Gebbia and Martinez. I could see Frost wanting to add a kid (Luke McCaffrey) with a big upside who understands he will need a year or two to develop (and is okay with that) in order to bolster his room a bit and then go after another "Adrian Martinez" sort of kid in 2020. But to say they wouldn't get a kid of that caliber this year is not accurate IMPO. He might choose to go with the "McCaffrey" route because it would not be a risk of losing a kid if he got beat out. Frost likes a large QB room (probably 5 scholarship kids) so he might want to pad the numbers before going after a big fish in 2020.
For anyone who hadn't seen what Clemson and Washington have done the last couple years at QB:
Clemson (who already has a four-star QB (Taisun Phommachanh) committed to the 2019 class):
2016 - Zerrick Cooper (four-star) has since transferred to Jacksonville State
2017 - Hunter Johnson (five-star) and Chase Brice (four-star)
2018 - Trevor Lawrence (five-star)
Washington (who have a commitment from high four-star Dylan Morris for the 2019 class AND had a former five-star QB (Jacob Eason) transfer to them AFTER the 2018 signing day):
2016 - Daniel Bridge-Gadd (Named Scout Team MVP after redshirting)
2017 - Jake Haener - Elite 11 member
2018 - Colson Yankoff and Jacob Sirmon, both four-stars and Elite 11 members
