Seriously, Mullen is smart as crap. He understands that when you cannot recruit at the same level overall as your rivals, your best chance of winning is to excel at the most important position on the field. It is the great equalizer.
How do you ensure that you excel at the game's most important position? Recruit talented players in mass. Create a Darwinian system where only the strongest survive. Then you make sure you always have a bad ass at QB.
Manziel redshirted his first year at TAMU. QB is a hard position to evaluate. If we have an extra scholly, there is no better position to spend it at.

Really surprised we're taking two QB's in this class. But also really glad to have both committed - they look like players.

If you count jalen Thompson we have 3. He tweeted that he and Maurice are going to the same school

Also, Harrison Moon (TE that's expected to grow into an OL, I believe) is pretty tight with Tiano. He's apparently enjoyed his time in the Stark this week.

Agreed. you gotta take QBs you think are SEC caliber, then let them sort it out on the field. QB is easily the most important position in football, and taking 2/cycle and letting the chips fall where they may is the best way to find yourself an elite QB. Plus competition drives players to maximize their potential. Sure a couple of these guys will end up transferring, but that will only be because they weren't beating out the guys they were competing with for snaps. But by getting them all on campus, we get to find out who develops into the best QB instead of predicting during the recruiting cycle, only to watch the player we turned down go on the star elsewhere (and yes, that can still happen cause you can't get everyone, but if you can get 2 of your top couple of targets, it's a good move to maximize the chances of getting the guy that becomes elite).

Does this mean we are passing on the Smith kid from meridian? N
Im fine with doing that, sign the best kids, period. I don't care if they are from MS or Alaska.

I don't think we can head fake an in state kid. I also don't think we recruit like that.

I don't see it either but you never know. Let them compete and see who is the best

We just went from #13 to #8 on the Rivals rankings with these two commits.

Maybe we will still recruit him but as an athlete instead

I think we give 3 athletes the chance to compete at the QB position with the understanding that 2 of them will most likely be moving positions...

What does this mean for Spivey? Could he be considered an athlete too?

8th on 247. Good for 6th in the SEC
This includes Smitherman, but not Tiano. Logic says we would bump up once he's added.

Yeah, I think DB or WR is where Spivey translates to wherever he goes. I've read that he's been doing some DB work this summer and he really likes it.

We have to sign two this year. After Dak wins the Heisman, he's gonna be #1 on everybody's draft board!
Think BIG!
-
Love Tiano's size. He is HUGE and can run too. Reminds me of Dak. Lol
