We need a transfer. 3 qbs in one clas with none other on the roster doesn’t bode well. Williams will be ready halfway through the season (I think). We need someone else to step in. Robinson could potentially squeak us through the early season, but I would rather have someone with experience. I would like to add fink and bhebhe. If nothing else they have worked a bit on timing.

While absolutely true, these students are also given opportunities (ie tutors) that average students just aren’t.
Illinois will get a transfer QB.
Agreed possibly two

For those that do not live in the St. Louis area, Jaylon McKenzie the 8th grader with offers from IL and Mo already, was shot and killed last night. The kid was being labeled as the next big superstar. From my understanding, another level above Mookie type of athlete. Sad news

FYI Venice is not a good area

Two transfer QBs? That would be kind of pointless, right?
This kind of news makes me sick
One has two years of eligibility, one has one year.

I guess it’s good to have depth, but I’m assuming IW is slated to be the starter next year (if not some point this year depending on how things turn out).
Who would have 2 years. USC qb?

I guess my purpose of the post would mostly be for an understanding of some of these recruits environments. I believe the majority of the St. Louis area coaches really care about their players. Corey being one of them. Sure there will be some who look out for their own best interest. But the majority want to see them succeed in life. It feels like a strong bond was starting to be built as a group. This sad 'what if' story is likely to send more kids to trusted areas, like Corey and Lovie. McKenzie was in Coach Sunkett's program

Yes. There is something about football players at USC who get their under grads a lot faster than others
Yes. They will only take 1.
Not really. injuries ahappen often and we really need a qb in each class. I don’t think we will go for 2 qbs, but i don’t think a senior, junior, redshirt freshman and freshman qb is unreasonable.

Oh my. That’s horrible.
Shout losing mj and I would be glad to just take Steven's but if not fink seems a little hairy to just take him obviously they would take Tate after fink comes if he does
And fink is like Sydney he is a jr.
I just don't get that sort of senseless violence. It's just impossible for me to envision a scenario where I'd think, "let's unload bullets into a party."

Interesting that they had both on a visit over the weekend. May make one of them pull the trigger quicker
Should we have a preference of 1 or the other of these grad transfer QB's?
