Top 2024 QB Recruiting Overview w/Info on Current and Previous Michigan QB Targets
If you follow recruiting outside of MGoBlog, this post probably won't have any new info for you.
The article ("Quarterback dominoes beginning to topple in 2024 recruiting class") by Steve Wiltfong at 247 covers the national picture for the 2024 QB class.
Some items of note:
- Dylan Raiola of Arizona is the #1 overall recruit in the class, and he chose Ohio State, though there's plenty of interest from USC and Georgia
- Jadyn Davis, the #2 ranked QB from North Carolina, was also heavily pursued by Ohio State, Raiola's commitment has made the path clearer for Michigan
- CJ Carr bummed out many Michigan fans, but the article claims that he has long wanted to leave home

Hey I love quarterbacks, especially Jadyn. But I missed the haiku thread...
Big 2 little 12
Just like it used to be but
We only had 10
November 5th, 2022 at 2:12 AM ^
Is 'twelve' really one
Syllable? Strange word...
Jadyn said 'we', cool!
November 5th, 2022 at 1:50 AM ^
CJ Carr is not as good. Losing him won’t sting when Davis signs.
November 5th, 2022 at 7:01 AM ^
I'd love to see a good scouting report on Jadyn Davis' potential. I haven't been able to find anything super-detailed.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:38 AM ^
CJ is just like Lloyd but unable to make historical quotes
November 5th, 2022 at 6:50 AM ^
QB position has never been more valuable than in todays game. We need to hit a home run with another QB. Scared to death what would happen if JJ got hurt.
November 5th, 2022 at 7:27 AM ^
Legit question: where has Cade been? Is he out for the year? I don't recall even seeing him on the sideline, which is odd given he was elected captain, regardless of what happened with the starting job.
November 5th, 2022 at 7:54 AM ^
Definitely have seen him on the sidelines and post game on the field. Obviously not in uniform. A bit odd that we have no info on his return, even given the normal Fort Schembechler silence. Having him ready as back-up before Illinois could be very important... crickets...
November 5th, 2022 at 8:15 AM ^
I actually hope it's an undisclosed injury which has sidelined Cade. If it isn't, that's a bad look for him, at least from outside appearances. JJ appeared to support Cade's campaign last year, seems like Cade could do likewise.
November 5th, 2022 at 10:18 AM ^
By my count, Cade appeared in 4 games in 2020, appeared in all games in 2021, and so far this year, has appeared in 3 games. Given that the 4-game "redshirt" limit began in 2018, if Cade plays in only one more or no more games this year, he will preserve what should be 3 years of eligibility to play elsewhere, if that's his (and Harbaugh's) goal.
There's no doubt now that it's JJ's huddle for the next two seasons (burned his redshirt in 2021)

If you watch the long video of UM and PSU players coming up the tunnel after the game peacefully that has been shared, you eventually see McNamara walk by in street clothes.
Agree, it would be nice to have him available.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:41 AM ^
Why didn’t Cade stop the gang of MSU players from jumping McBurrows? Why didn’t Cade seal the deal with Jadyn Davis this week?
November 5th, 2022 at 8:55 AM ^
Guy behind him I heard is pretty good.

I understand why a top QB would pick OSU thinking that he can showcase his talents in a prolific offense, but I also don't understand because there is a wealth of damning evidence that OSU quarterbacks are complete flops in the NFL.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:07 AM ^
When has a top tier B1G quarterback lacked the self-confidence to think, I won't flop in rhe NFL like so-and-so? I don't think those kids think much beyond winning in college and getting drafted.
Telly you what, I'd love to see the NFL draft add a round or two, and allow teams to draft the rights of sophomore or older collegiate players. It would help kids that need a little more development to stay in school, add a little stability to the college game, possibly level out NIL money among the top players. QBs especially would benefit from this, I feel.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:30 AM ^
Eh, maybe he’s planning on the burrows timeline. Commit to OSU, hangout as a backup a couple years and then xfer to a school that has everything but a good qb, win all the games, win the Heisman and NC, and then get drafted high, maybe even to an nfl team that kinda has everything but a good qb and take that team to a super bowl in a couple of years. Could happen.
November 5th, 2022 at 8:01 AM ^
Is anyone else hoping Raiola pulls a "Ewers" on OSU and transfers after a year?
November 5th, 2022 at 8:46 AM ^
Jadyn rhymes with Aidan
November 5th, 2022 at 2:47 PM ^
Jadyn switching to Edge?

What I am curious about is UGA with Davis. Sure, there was supposed talks that he stopped considering them because of UGA grabbing a qb, but to me, seems like he is a backup qb. I thought Sayin was highly regarded at UGA and was his destination? Not entirely sure about that, but wonder if they come knocking on the door again, making him “the guy” next year? Though, it seems like it’s hard to make up ground with the good guys, especially with him possibly committing wherever years end
November 5th, 2022 at 10:17 AM ^
Sayin committed to Bama, Georgia already has a 5 star in or super high 4 star commited and LSU just got a top 2025 QB to reclassify to 2024. So Michigan is in good shape with Davis. What are you exactly trying to say? BtB
November 5th, 2022 at 11:56 AM ^
What are you looking at? Only QB I see from UGA was #220 Player and 17 ranked QB. Don’t see a 5 star committed to them.
Unless I am missing something, I was on the assumption UGA was going to land Sayin, thus having the #220 as a backup. With Sayin out of the fold, I can’t help but think they start to rekindle things with Davis since option 1 went to Bama. Plus, his teammate committed down there doesn’t help either. Again, this is based off what I see on 247. So, I’m not sure how valid this is.

How hard did Michigan go after CJ Carr? Was it mainly NIL that pushed Moore to Oregon? As we know, Harbaugh is big on cultural fit for the program. Maybe Carr and Moore didn't fit the culture like McNamara and McCarthy. Trying to think outside the box as to why the recruit chose another school or why Harbaugh didn't pursue hard enough.
