Yeah... I just don't get the perspective about not recruiting multiple players at a position -- especially one as important as quarterback -- because you don't want to ruffle the feathers of other guys you've recruited.

To be clear, I LOVE Jakhari Williams as a prospect.  But a program like ours needs to plant a lot of seeds to land difference-making QBs.  Hell, that's even true of factories like Ohio State that pull 4-star and 5-star QBs all the time.  Some pan out, some don't, some never live up to the lofty ratings, some transfer out before ever seeing the field.

And that's at a factory that lands guys like that every freaking season.  So if we can land a prospect like Trever Jackson in the same class as Jakhari, you do it without hesitation, and then see what the players do.

No different than bringing in both McNabb and Kevin Johnson the same class as QB prospects, and then seeing how the chips fall.

Maybe Jackson is a stud who lives up to the 4-star rating.  Maybe Jakhari ends up being a stud who beats him out.  Or maybe neither one pans out.  Time will tell, but delimiting the choices only delimits the chances that one of them DOES emerge as a top-flight QB to lead our program after McCord.
