Back on the market, four-star quarterback Clay Millen hearing from Colorado
Following the coaching change Arizona, four-star quarterback prospect Clay Millen decided to re-open his recruitment...

It’s looked good before, right?Back on the market, four-star quarterback Clay Millen hearing from Colorado

Yeah. He had a long standing relationship with the QB coach at Arizona though and stated that's why he committed originally. I think unless someone else comes in late, he's a buff.

Just roll with that many QBs IMO.
What I want to know though, is if we get Millen, and the late add of Vaka... are people re-evaluating Dorrell's first class?
I don't think the total number of QBs is a problem. With Noyer returning, Millen would still just make 5 in the QB room (Noyer, Shrout, Lewis, Millen, Carter). Doesn't seem too concerning to me.
Not really. His commitment would’ve us from 54th to 51st. That’s how actually bad this class is/was; he and Vaka would represent CUs 2nd and 3rd best recruits and barely moves the needle in class rankings
flood the QB room with young talent. Let them battle it out. See who sticks. Repeat as necessary.

If Spaceman's grooviness approves, then yeah I'll go along with that too.

I agree with this 100%. Selfishly i was hoping Noyer wouldn’t return and take valuable reps from some of those other guys. I think that’s amplified if Millen signs.
Neither Millen or Carter are a factor for 2021 and Noyer won’t be able to practice until Fall Camp, so Lewis and Shrout will get the reps this Spring. Things are shaking out pretty well with QB right now, IMO.

Lewis, Shrout and Carter. Maybe Millen.

Hot take
Millen and Carter coming in together puts them in a competition from day 1 that will make them better.
QB evaluation is tough and falls well short of 100% by the best of them. Plus with QBs being so apt to transfer these days, I think bringing in 2 when you're short on numbers is a great way to go. Odds of having a downstream contributor just go up!

I wonder what the odds are that if Carter doesn't find himself in a good place in the QB pecking order in a year or two that he looks to go full time with basketball.
That of course would depend on him doing well enough on the court that Tad is willing to put him on scholarship but from the information in his profile that wouldn't be out of the range of possibilities.
Tad is recruiting on a completely different level right now

I have to agree with this, although I know little about Carter as a bball player I think Tad has established the Buffs as a blue chip level program and doubt he has the chops to contribute on the hardwood.

Other schools recruit two qbs in a class all the time, and a lot of them stick at their original school.
This is a problem that this board needs to get over. We should always be looking to add highly rated qbs if we can get them.

2 QBs in the same class sticking for their entire career is very rare, and if they are it means one guys is sucking up a scholarship that should be used elsewhere *cough* Stevie Joe Dorman.
I think that if he is clearly stuck behind Millen, he will probably leave CU and basketball is a real possibility (elsewhere). But I think this kid could be a big surprise to the board here. Millen has been finely tuned by an NFL dad for his whole life.

I'm all for this. I feel like we aren't good at scouting QBs, so throw numbers at it at least. Players that find themselves low on the totem pole can transfer out as needed

We don't really know how KD is at scouting QB's yet.

Fair, but I'd argue most are not good at it. This is why 5*s at big programs fail, 1st round picks fail, etc. I just think if you can't get a more sure fire guy, throwing **** at the wall seems a better way of doing it.
