[QUOTE="michi-mountie, post: 129246529, member: 1802179"] [b]Re: I think Dana learned a good lesson...[/b] I hope the lesson Dana learned is to not under recruit the QB position. Coming off the greatest offensive show in BCS history, Dana should have had a long line of good QBs ready to come in and join the fun. Instead, the most important position on the field was really thin with questionable talent after Geno left. One of the good things RichRod used to do was over-recruit the QB position. I hope Dana does the same and it looks like he has started. Its not likely that the 4 QBs starting spring practice will be on the team in a year or 2. My hope is that the "cream" will rise to the top even as there will be attrition and WVU continues to recruit a QB or 2 every year. Is Howard a late bloomer with a chip on his shoulder. Can Crest turn his potential into quality and success? Ditto for Sills? Is Chugs the next Tom Brady? Keep bringing high potential QBs in for a 1 or 2 year "interview". Nothing against Millard, he did as well as he could and he was better than the next option down depth chart, but Dana should always have better options with higher potential in the system than Millard and a Fairmont State QB. We may not always have the QB depth of the 2014 Ohio State team, but it is definitely a position where we can justify 4-5 scholarships in the system. The one advantage of the RichRod over-recruiting was that his style of athletic running QBs could more easily turn into receivers (Brad Starks) or cornerback (Brandon Hogan). [/QUOTE]
