With all the talk of whether or not Winston commits, has me to thinking. I know the general rule of thumb is to recruit a QB every year. Logically speaking, I don't think you can land a 5* QB year in and year out. Nick Saban not withstanding, I think kids want healthy competition, but they also want a realistic shot at playing. Most kids coming in to the program would realize that not only is there some great talent ahead of them (which would all but guarantee a redshirt), it also means a good possibility of sitting a year or so before "your turn" arrives to lead the team. Unless your last name is Manning, or Tebow, you don't have a lot of QB's coming in and earning a spot right off unless it is by default.
Having typed up this useless diatribe, I said all that to say this. I think next year will be the year to land a top notch QB. Everything seems to go in cycles. Richardson came in as an RB and was able to contribute, but was not the stud he had always been in HS. OK, so he was still a stud, they just didn't ride that horse the same way he had always been ridden. I think that with the cycle of things, you are able to land super duper talent at all positions just not every year. While we are able to get more than our fair share of great talent at every position, those top notch guys are going to come at us in waves. I really had my heart set on Gunner Kiel
