They're just adjusting to the current reality.
If you are a team prepared to pay for results through NIL, a high school recruit just isn't a good investment. Ultimately you'll wind up with a budget for QB's and plan on filling it eveyr year or two.

You just don’t see Bama and UGA have to do that. But if that’s how the other top programs want to play it fine, we can pick up the hs kids.
The jury is out in my opinion on teams that use rentals to build. TCU had great success last year taking a ton of transfers. But struggled this year.
CU and ASU, who both brought in a historic number of transfers this year, finished with 4 and 3 wins, respectively. This pattern continues at the professional level too. Bringing in high profile free agents to build the core of the team has some success (Lebron’s Miami and Laker teams), but also have some spectacular failures (Dallas, Clippers, Nets, Phoenix, etc.)
I think the better strategy is to identify young talent and develop (Golden State, Denver, Milwaukee, Boston with Tatum and Brown, Georgia and Michigan in CFB), and then fill in gaps with a a select few transfers.
Interesting. They have 8 qbs and all are underclass, so expect Alabama qb transfers. I don’t know if they’re all on scholarship but 5 qbs being freshman is insane
Has there been any 5 star QB not hit the portal in the last year? Lol, this is becoming a race to the bottom of teams shuffling the deck annually. This doesn’t even impact ISU and it frustrates me.
I don't know. What did renting a QB do for ND? Not a whole hell of a lot. Do we really think the Kansas State guy is going to lead USC to a Big 10 title or the playoffs?
USC could have been a playoff team this year had it not been for Alex Grinch
I would rather lose.
Strong DE against the run and pass, I like this.
No knock on the guys we have but Defensive End was an underwhelming position for me this year (and most positions outperformed my expectations fyi). Tyler Onyedim brought some juice all year, but not a ton outside of him - and he's more of a DT/DE hybrid.
Really only remaining questions on D are for Vaughn and Tampa. Curious to see if the approach for those spots is in or external. With OuT gone it looks like a wide open conference and we seem to have the pieces in.place to compete with everyone on the schedule.
