I know I keep harping on our quarterback commit, but those are very poor overall stats, especially for someone playing private school ball in California

I just don't get that offer, and I don't think the coaches have earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to quarterbacks (or any position tbh). It would be one thing if there was elite physical upside there, but that's not the case. He really doesn't look much better than the kid that we had last year that was a walkon that ended up getting a scholarship offer from Texas state

Correct me if I'm wrong but

The QB commit is the kid from Columbus who's dad played TE for the Philadelphia eagles. He has a scholarship.

The QB from California I preferred walk-on so no scholarship (until he earns it). His parents went to Baylor

I went back and looked. The Columbus kid is in the 2025 class. Bennett is in the 2024 class. As far as I can tell, Bennett is a scholarship offer
