Should we look WEST for a QB???

Ok I think it is safe to say that outside of Danny O...Edsall/Ambrose screwed the proverbial pooch when it came to recruiting qb's. He has inherited one of the better young qb's in the country in O'Brien at MD but we all know he can't recruit qb's! McCummings and Nebrich are Moorehead's guys (Nebrich especially). Cochran is a proto-typical pro-set qb with VERY clean mechanics and foot work, he is DeLeone's guy. McCummings gives us a true qb to run a wildcat type option package, not a rb or wr masquerading as a qb. This can give us the option to throw like he did against Fordham. I would like to see Nebrich more that's for sure. If Cochrane can come in early like Nebrich did and get a head start on strength training and learning the offense...this will quickly become a 2 horse race next season. Until then I think Coach P is playing the cards he has been dealt by the man he replaced...the man who screwed the pooch when it came to recruiting qb's!

I think pretty accurate, except that I'm not going to criticize RE on the QB recruiting. Was it good? No. But was it much worse than you would expect? I don't think so. DannyO was just luck. There are a limited number of top QBs in the country. They really are. The supply is not endless. Grabbing one of them is difficult. We saw one at OK in the Fiesta. That kid was exceptional. O'Brien at MD is exceptional. But they're exceptional for good reason - there's not a lot of others like them. They are the cream. And, sadly, they are not clamoring for a Uconn scholly. Anyway, I think the QB situation looks good with Nebrich, McCummings, and Cochrane. Need a little time to develop from here. We'll be fine.
