He's going to have to use the transfer portal to fill the holes of WVU players who will be hitting the portal themselves. We could have a record number leave this year.

I find it hard to believe he was not able to find QB to transfer here last year that would have made us better
Do you really? Any reason you believe that? I think it should have been an absolute priority but wanting one and actually landing them is not remotely the same

Pitt grabbed Savage, Pederman, Brown and Yellon from portal. Savage and Pederman were good gets and moved onto the NFL. Brown got hurt and Yellon was a whiff. So it’s probably a 50/50 proposition with QB portal guys. But Brown had to try right? I assume he tried. He‘s lucky he’s not playing Pitt this year. Pickett would put 42 on WVU D. QBs mean everything in college.

Yes, really. Because: the number of schools that have had qb's riding the bench that end up playing due to injury that play better than Doege, the number of inferior programs with better QB play, the ease of transferring these days, without researching it there is at least 1 school (equal to WVU at best but mediocre IMO) I know of has been able to recruit transfers that had better pedigree and/or better historical performance than Doege, and Browns success at recruiting freshmen. Obviously, Brown isn't going to shoot himself in the foot. I'm sure he would have welcomed an all American transfer. But I think he over-estimated the expected growth in Doege. WVU as well as many inferior programs this year and historically have had better QB play. We have a Bowling Green starter and a Troy backup. Edit: Don't hesitate to enlighten me.
