I don't need a history lesson on our roller coaster of a QB situation in 2014 and 2015. How hard did we recruit this kid? And in a related, but unrelated point, will Mond be better?

pretty sure we wanted him. announcers were saying having murray and allen at the time was the reason he didnt come here.

I know we decided to push for him late.
I believe we were not pushing for anyone in the class for the sake of Martell.

Crazy thing is Mond may start next year. I doubt it'll be Hubenak. Maybe Starkel?

we recruited him pretty hard from the get-go. He came to a few of our fall camp practices even and there was some thought the staff could flip him then but in the end, our depth chart worked against us. Our season and playing both QBs didn't help and solidified his decision.

After the transfers we reached out to him again since he indicated our QB pipeline was a factor originally. But since he was an EE, it was too late to flip him really.

Mond has a similar skill set. Will he be better? Who knows. Part of that is work ethic, coachability, personality, etc. Those intangibles are especially important for QBs.

Starkel would have the edge at this point, depending on how both players do in the Spring. (Mond is an early enrollee)
