We certainly don’t have the money for the top portal QB’s. Guys like Mensah Beck, Dante Moore, and Mendoza have NIL deals around $3m - $4m per year. Nussmeier was around the same to stay at LSU.  That’s not counting top HS recruits like Underwood, Lagaway and Arch who reportedly were around $10M. Guys like Raiola, Sayin, Miller Moss, and i’m sure a ton more are around $1.3 - $2.5M.

I would assume we have been in that range if we kept McCord, but we can’t compete with the upper echelon.

Unfortunately, it’s the most secure way to get guaranteed, or as close as it gets, success. Since 2010 Syracuse has recruited 2 HS QB’s that have been above average, Nassib and Dungey. Even then, only there senior seasons were really outstanding. 2 for how many ever Qb recruits is almost like playing a scratch off ticket. Unless they’re able to recruit high level QB’s, which we’ve shown we have not been able to. I would call both Fran’s current QB’s reaches. Very rarely do highly successful college QB’s come out of no where and those are those lotto tickets. The prototypical Qb’s with size, arm talent, or dual threat, are easy to identify, I would say more than any other position.

Going the HS route with the guys we’ve got so far and have signed is the continuation of what we’ve been doing extremely poorly.
