RE: 2016 Official Verbal Thread
EdgyTim just did a write on him Ben Leroy. He loves the kid and has him rated as a mid 3 star recruit. Great hands, quickness and athleticism. Said he also has great fundamentals and has the rare ability to play both the run and rush the passer. Said he reminds him a lot of former Huskie Nabal Jefferson and expects him to thrive at NIU. Had a lot of great things to say about our program as well

QBs from Mt Carmel never do well in college, they just can't throw. Why even offer?

This makes me feel a lot better about our QB situation, however we really could use at least one more from this class.

With only 15 seniors on the roster we'll have a smaller recruiting class this year. I don't know if they can afford to use two schollys at QB. Maybe one scholly and one walkon.

We have plenty of room to offer two QB's after how many DB's/WR's/RB's we have gotten the past 2 years.

yeah we need to get 2 QBs. once hare and maddie graduate we would have in 2017 season a RS(JR), RS(SO), and 2 RS (FR), if we get 2 qbs in 2016 class. im guessing these qbs would be very inexperienced at that point, so need to get as much talent at qb over next couple yrs to see if anyone is a stud. also, having 2 qbs in a class can promote good competition, making everyone better.

I would like to see 3 scholarship QBs and maybe 1 walk on this next class. After 2016 we only have 1 scholly QB with RS SO Santa and RS JR Graham both likely with 0 non-garbage time snaps.

so potentially have 7+ qbs for 2017? just dont know why we use 3 shols on qbs in one class. why waste a scholly on someone who wont play?

I am only counting 6 for spring 2017...If my novice plan happened then I would not take a QB in the 2017 class unless one gem was interested.

Graham - RS JR (walk on)
Santa - RS SO
Scholly QB 1 - RS FR
Scholly QB 2 - RS FR
Scholly QB 3 - RS FR
Walk on QB 1 - RS FR

Do you think we "waste" a scholly on one of the 4 RBs in our last class?

The timing is off to bring in a JuCo QB for 2017/2018...maybe only for 2017 could work possibly in the short term but I doubt we want to go that route.
