I know this has been a hot topic on the board this summer. When do you take a transfer vs developing a young guy? As we know, taking transfers can lead to your young recruits leaving.
Interesting fact. Of power 5 teams this year, 61% are starting a transfer QB. That number surprised me. Also, of the last 5 Heisman QBs, 3 were transfers. The portal has clearly changed the QB development process.
I would assume there has to be a “it’s worth it” level. Example, Hartman for a year was worth it for ND (or I guess we will find out.)
I wonder how much better the transfer has to be to risk losing the younger recruits? If it’s somewhat close in talent & production, you would assume coaches would stay with the player with more eligibility.
