(The Bobcats) have a QB coming in for 2015 who I think may be good, but we all agree that Ohio needs to get a good QB every year.
Not looking to challenge this assertion, but what makes you feel confident about Quinton Maxwell? If I'm not mistaken, this is a guy who finished his senior season around .500 in what many on here described a weak conference and received no other scholarship offers. I do like that he combined for over 5,000 yards in his career rushing and passing. But, as was mentioned before, lets look at two rivals and the QBs they have on their rosters (BGSU and Miami). These are not programs that should be out-recruiting us. Yet they seem to be doing so consistently at the most important position.
BGSU:
most recent signee: James Morgan, 4 star signee who was rated by 24/7 as the 17th best pro-style QB in country. Rated #1 QB in Wisconsin. His passing numbers make Maxwell's look miniscule in comparison.
Also on the roster:
James Knapke--only QB in Indiana HS history to win three state titles, was All-State QB, owns conference all-time record for passing yards and touchdowns.
Matt Johnson--returning starter, graduated HS as the 5th all-time in Pennsylvania passing yards (7,944) and 8th all-time in TDs (85). All-State his senior season, was 39-5 as a starter.
Nolan Dieter--all-state his senior season, 5,815 yards, 72 touchdowns in HS. Came in via transfer from Indiana.
Cody Callaway--over 7,000 yards passing (Lorain County (OH) record) with 69 touchdowns. 2nd team All-State.
Miami (OH):
recent commits:
Noah Wezensky, 3 star Pro Style QB from Fort Wayne, IN. Has offers from three other MAC schools.
Riley Lees, 2 star Dual Threat QB from Libertyville, IL. Has offers from 6 other schools, including Iowa.
Recent Signee:
Billy Bahl, 3 star Pro Style recruit from Woodstock, IL. Offers from 11 other schools, including Rutgers and UConn.
Kyle Kramer, 2 star Pro Style recruit from Glenbard, IL. No other offers.
On roster:
Gus Ragland, 2 star Dual Threat QB, no other offers.
(transferred) Tommy Tupa, 2 star Pro-Style QB, four other offers, including OHIO and Marshall.
Also on roster: Drew Kummer, Ruggiero DeLuca, Austin Gearing (ranked #87 in all of Ohio by ScoutingOhio.com), Jack Penn.
It's just frustrating to see all these decorated QBs at other schools, while OHIO is having to consistently find diamonds in the rough. I hope Quinton turns into something great, but there's little in his past to show that he'll be a stud here.
