Arkansas high school QB Gerry Bohanon just moved his commitment date from this Fall to May 19th and Mayden is supposed to commit a week later.

Who does Mullen choose?

1st world problems here fellas.

Are neither demanding to be the only qb in the class?

Boils down to intangibles...Who's got the leadership qualities and the desire to be great.

I pick Mayden

I personally like Bohanon more, so to me it would be fairly simple, assuming you're concerned that taking both will lead to problems with either one. You push for Bohanon, and if you don't get him, you push for Mayden.

There's no guarantee we get both but we'd definitely take both. We will get 1 of the 2 for sure.

Quite a problem we have there, having to take on 2 elite QB's. My how times have changed!

Remember when Jackie was lucky to have 1 decent QB on campus? It is a great problem to have.

Remember it well! So glad QB isn't an issue anymore. Nice to look out there and see SEC caliber QBs behind center and as backups.

Exactly. The NFL wouldn't have allowed Madkin watch the Combine let alone participate and Mullen has had walk on QBs with arguably better resumes than Kevin Fant.

Madkin's the only QB to have ever led us to the SEC Championship game...

He was "leading" behind an all-time great defense though...

And JJ carrying the load. Loved Wayne's competitiveness though. Never forget that last minute drive to beat arky and win the west. Was sitting on the 20 with my 4 year old son and watched him convert two 4th and longs on that drive. He was a great competitor but just an average qb.

No disrespect to those guys but they wouldn't get a preferred walk on offer from Mullen...at least not as a QB. And let's be honest about that SEC West Championship: it wasn't quite Nick Saban level coaching over at Bama.

When it comes to quarterbacks SURELY we can all agree with 34's old mantra: "In Mullen we trust." The guy made a serviceable SEC quarterback out of Chris Relf, the Bear Killer, for Pete's sake. Dak goes without saying. Fitz too. If I was a QB and Dan came calling I would commit on the spot. I would SIGN on the spot.

I believe Mullen would have turned madkin into a pretty good qb. Relf plus.

Madkin was a winner. My only comment: He was a better passer than Relf but not nearly the runner.

Which is why there is such a sour taste regarding 2014. A better defense and we're gold! Regardless of QB quality, defense wins championships (or at least gets you in the game).

No doubting Mullen is great w/ QBs, but let's not disrespect the only time we've played in the SEC Championship. For us to get back, Mullen is going to have to fix the holes outside of QB. Hopefully, Grantham helps with that this year!

Ain't that the truth. If Mullen could put together some late 90s Sherrill OLs, we could win big

Forgive my possible memory loss due to the amount of alcohol I drank in college, but wasn't Fant a decent qb with a horrible porous OL? Had like 2 seconds to throw?

He was rated higher than Eli out of some summer camps if I remember correctly. Peyton manning would look horrible behind some of the olines Fant played behind.

Mayden is a 247 Composite 4*, but the 247 rating has him as a 3*. What gives here? Get with the program, 247.

Quarterback controversy. Fant had two seconds to throw, because they wanted another quarterback to play and did not give Fant the blocking or support. I have a friend who was on the team. Fant had all the potential in the world if he would have had the support.

He had the potential to be better than Eli, if not for the MSU quarterback controversy. Coaches should have stepped in and stopped it. Some starters needed to be benched.

Fant was a stud coming out of HS. Then he got murdered back in the pocket his 2nd year.
