Thing is, Floyd isn't Taggart's recruit. None of these guys are except Mike White. The process of CWT adding QB recruits that he actually believes in has only just started. I don't know why people are thinking, if he can't start right now then CWT should have no interest in him. He's still trying to populate his entire position with guys he likes. That isn't going to happen in just one or two recruiting seasons. James Mauro is a guy he likes. A guy he recruited. A guy he made his #2 behind Kewaun Jakes. A guy that led them to a come-from-behind victory against Arkansas State in his only significant action as a freshman.

 

I don't know why people would be thinking that all that matters is the here and now. Who do we have developing? Just Mike White? That's it? You're going to hang your future on a three star guy you know nothing about yet? A guy you had to settle for during a rushed recruiting process that CWT had to pick up halfway through, one where he had to continue trying to hook the big fish (AW) which may or may not have discouraged other big fish from nibbling the line?

 

I'm not saying James Mauro is a slam dunk but I bet CWT is at least considering it.

 

White was picked up the day of or the day immediately following CWT's signing ...

 

So then even Mike White wasn't really a CWT recruit?

 

 

Willie wasn't shy about telling somebody, discreetly, he didn't want them ...

Well, it would have been a disaster not to have any QB's in the class, and Willie kept trying to get a second QB up to the last minute.  I think both staffs would have been very happy with White as the 2nd QB in the class, he clearly does have potential.

Willie was shown Whites tape by whichever coach was recruiting him. He then made an offer to White after the championship game and White accepted during Willies press conference. So hes a Taggart recruit in the sense that Holtz didnt offer but Taggart did
