Message: [QUOTE="Hoophound, post: 2889186, member: 271"] Lorenzen was a good football player and could scramble. He was by no means a prototypical QB. It was just brutal to watch him throw. Whitmer was tough but not great. Granted, he was in a bad spot. My point is not at all to bash these guys though, it is to develop talent we already have. Washington was an outstanding prospect and was well known throughout Florida as a very good player with the ability to run and throw at an elite level. Krajewski was equally or greater lauded in Georgia. By all means, if we can get a great QB, get him. However, my focus was to get help elsewhere from Juco and use these talented guys we have on the roster. A friend of mine who’s son is a JUCO receiver at Nova Southeastern looked at the program I brought home to Florida after the UCF game and said we were loaded at QB. He was very familiar with Washington and knew who Krajewski was. He was convinced Washington would be a great QB for us yet was surprised that we also managed to get Krajewski. We will have a tough time recruiting freshmen QBs if we constantly bring in 20+ year old transfers to take over. [/QUOTE]
