It is funny you say it that way and it is true...We won't know until next year......Which is quite the change from a few years ago when we wouldn't know about these guys for 2-3 years.
And some of these guys we might not ever know about...we may never get the chance...we'll only see them transfer out and go somewhere else.

I said the same same thing this morning. I don't like being this cynical but even with their best recruiting class possibly ever, in this era of football it is truly year to year. I would bet we won't see 60% of these guys in 2 years. Again I know it's an awful way to view things.

This may be true. Probably similar to other schools. So, hopefully, we keep recruiting at high level so we can keep guys coming in to offset losses..versus less than stellar recruits replacing less than stellar recruits

If the young man signs, do we really think he would actually start as a true freshman. Doesn't seem to happen often... Will DLo risk that option given expectations for next year?
Also depends on what other QBs on the roster.
I believe he is our long term plan.
Still probably need a QB next year via Portal or Kohl/Swann (eligibility?)

Both have eligibility, not sure if either will be here. I assume at least one is gone.

Interesting scenario. We have two experienced QBs of which I doubt either will be satisfied with being the backup to the other. Plus the young man who signed today. Plus whoever is in the portal.
What happens next?

I do not believe we have a QB on the roster at this time who can take us to a Conf Champ.

One of my favorite players ever, but now he might as well go hang out with Eric Church.

Don’t think Kohl has hit his ceiling yet but Swann probably already has and probably won’t get back to that ceiling.

I agree. I think DLo loved him some AJ. Maybe due to arm strength or whatever reason. JJ grew on me as he got more playing time. This was really his first year of live action for an expanded period of time in the college level.

The guy played on a broken ankle all year. I'd say there's likely some upside when he gets both feet working. edit - referring to Kohl
