Sounds like the coaches have informed him he will be the only QB recruited in the 2015 class. To be honest I do not like this. Here is his quote.
Gentry said he was told by the Texas coaches that they'll only be taking one player at his position in the 2015 class. For his part, Gentry said he plans to stay solid with his commitment and not give the UT coaches any reason to look elsewhere."
"It's a solid commitment. As of (Monday), I'm going to be a Texas Longhorn," Gentry said.
I have no problem with this, and with Swoopes and Heard ahead of him (with Ash of course for another two years) we all the sudden have theoretical depth at QB.
Taking one QB per class isn't really a problem. PROMISING that person they will be the starter when they get here is a problem, as is anointing young guys to be the starter for the next 4 years driving all the other QBs away (unless that guys is just a phenom, and those don't come along often). Most QBs need to sit for a season or two.
In short, the problem isn't the recruiting process of QBs - it's the management of them once they arrive. We could be deep in QBs now had we only held onto the ones we recruited. However when you keep anointing Frosh/Sophs as starters, causing guys right behind them to leave, then that's where you get into problems.
Tech manages to roll in a game ready Junior or Senior almost every other season. Maybe not so much now, but Leach always had somebody ready to go. I don't know what his secret was, but it had something to do with not bringing guys in with a sense of entitlement and forcing them to ride the pines and learn for a couple of years.
Mack bought into the high risk philosophy of 3 year QB starters taking you to the promised land. Worked out pretty well until he hit that dud in Gilbert. That killed the Horns and his career.
Better to have an offense that doesn't rely on 80% completion rates to move the ball or QB demi-gods who are men among boys.
