Why did we recruit Wooten then? Wasn’t that Cumbie’s guy? If a kid doesn’t have the physical tools to play at this level, why waste a scholarship on him?
you are asking the wrong guy as to why they recruited him.
maybe sonny thought he would develop, maybe he thought they would run an offense closer to what sonny was part of at tech, recruiting is a very inexact science that people are wanting definitive answers.
you don't always know if a kid can physically match up until they come to school. football is one sport where you really don't get to see the kids in a comparative environment. even in 7-on-7 it is projecting from basically pass skeleton.
there have been multiple kids that tcu has signed the past 5-6 seasons i really don't know why they got signed. some worked out and others never saw the field. there are multiple factors that go into why some kids make it and others don't, but you are also talking about the only real position on the team where there isn't multiple players playing the position during a season.
teams rotate backs, linemen, receivers, but at the most 2 players at the quarterback position and that is incredibly rare.
the measurement for success in developing this position should be the level of play and not how many recruits ended up playing and playing well because it is a flawed idea
