You presented nothing that would change my mind about my analysis. My analysis of the 2012 - 2019 VA Top 25 recruits shows that there is over 40% attrition. My analysis of the 2012 - 2018 Virginia Tech classes shows that both four stars and three stars did not contribute at Tech at a similar rate of 50%. There are too many guys who peak in high school and fail to contribute at the next level. I've listed below the 2012 - 2018 QB recruits at Virginia Tech and an UNRATED QB was the most impressive player. Jerod Evans was UNRATED out of high school and he eventually blew up in JUCO. Dwayne Lawson was a four star who didn't live up to the hype. Hooker was mediocre at Tech until he was coached up by Josh Heupel at Tennessee. Ford had an impressive career at UMass and Bush started a few games at Illinois. A lot of QB's have to transfer because most coaches only play one QB.
