I'm all for taking both Tyson and Taulia from a talent standpoint, especially if we don't take a QB this year.
I would hate, in a year with limited numbers, to give a scholarship to a QB that's an eventual transfer. However, all we have on campus is a true Sophomore (who runs as much as he passes) and two true freshmen. I don't know if we can afford to not take a QB this year unless we're convinced that all three of our current QBs are competent AND happy (low transfer risk).
If either freshman decides to transfer, we'd be left with two scholarship QBs next year (at least one of whick takes a lot of hits (even against bad teams)). Hurts probably doesn't leave early (hopefully) but that would mean 19 would be one (likely unproven) veteran QB and 2 true freshman.

I think you always have to bite the bullet and take 1, I've been that way since many wanted to skip taking one to appeal to Jacob Eason.
You never know what can happen. Maybe you never want this prospect to start, but you don't want to be caught with a bare cupboard either.
Unless you have hella faith in a walkon...
