Excellent article...
It’s not a question of "want"

While I'd be happy to have Dante, the best scenario for ND is Buchner is a first or second round pick level QB. Then landing Carr/Sayin in '24 becomes the more important get. Obviously the best scenario is taking Moore and Sayin/Carr and Buchner is also developed into an elite QB. That might be unrealistic. I am really hopeful we don't play all in games for '24 (Carr is a Michigan legacy and if he has an ounce of interest in Michigan I would stop recruiting him exclusively).
However, if Buchner looks bad this season, we will not only need Dante, he will have been the most important player by far. If TB is bad and we miss Dante, we will be dumpster diving in the portal or playing Angeli/a true frosh. The most important thing for ND by far is that TB becomes a really good quarterback.
My personal opinion is a very early QB commit like Ohio State got from a '24 kid is better than Dante in '23. I have faith in TB. I also think Angeli can battle it out with Carr/Sayin/Avery Johnson. I'd love to get Sayin/Carr on board now, forget about Dante (assuming he's going to forget about us when Jimbo offers him a Lambo, he's also now OV'ing to Miami), and build the '24 class around him. An elite offensive class in '24 to combine with a T5 defensive class in '23.
