As much as I don't like the portal we can get decent QB's that are less risky than a HS QB. I'm not sure it's absolutely critical that we get a HS QB this year if it's not our top 1 or 2 choice. I think you continue to pursue DR hard and not take someone you aren't absolutely sure of. I think we have plenty of QB's and yes, I realize it's likely 2 will portal before the fall. I think once recruits see how we will play, then we can zero in on a really good 2025 QB.
If you look at our current QB room, who's likely to be our starter? Sims or Thompson (both portal transfers). Actually the transfer portal might the most efficient way to stock your QB room. Having said that, we also need HS QB's. I think come fall, we'll have Sims, Thompson and two of the following: (Haarberg, Purdy, Smothers & Torres). 4 is plenty, so unless we get DR or our other top choice, I think we are going to be okay for this next cycle.
