QB1?
I'm guessing it's gonna be the Senior they pulled out of the portal and gave NIL money to, over the walkon and true Freshman. -

Huss Leaving High Point To Be Creighton's "Coach In Waiting"
Barring major changes either imposed from the outside or as part of an internal reformation process, there are limited options for programs like ours to survive and potentially thrive in this environment. I proposed one such option several months ago in a different forum and the more I think about it, it may be the only viable strategy. Embrace the transfer portal. Accept the fact that our best players (or maybe all of them in some cases) will look to transfer after a year of solid production and actually leverage that in our recruitment. Focus on recruiting athletes with 2 (3 tops) years of eligibility remaining and that while talented have not been able to catch the eye of the programs willing to put them on their multi-million dollar payrolls. The window is closing on their college athletic career and their ability to get a final payday or springboard their pro aspirations. Come play for UNT, but plan on being here only a season or two. We will get you something while here, provide you a platform to showcase your talents and more importantly work to get you that final stop opportunity. Maybe we even act as a quasi-agent with some sort of renumeration if they get picked up. Does it suck to be a stepping stone and revolving door of athletes? Maybe, I guess. But if we win, do you really care? With some success, the better athletes will want to come here and success builds on itself. Did anyone really care that we had 70+ new players on the football team when we were 5-1 after six games last year? Are you still looking forward to the football season even though we lost 32 players to the portal and have 26 new transfers coming in? It's going to happen anyway (players will leave for $ or what they or their agents perceive to be a better opportunity). It's musical chairs for every program, so somehow make it work in our favor. As many have said, root for the team/colors, not the players. -

Finalizing the Roster
The portal giveth, and the portal taketh. It's scientific law.
