Baylor QB Commit Austin Novasad Sees the Offers Rolling In
Austin Novasad, a star quarterback in the class of 2023 from Dripping Springs, Texas, committed to Dave Aranda and the Baylor Bears very early on. That was then, though, and this is now.
As he has gotten offers from Stanford, Texas Tech, TCU, Houston, SMU and others, offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes, quarterback coach Shawn Bell and Aranda have to continue recruiting Novasad even after his commitment. Sports Illustrated's John Garcia Jr. joins Drake to talk about Novasad's skill and how he's being courted.
Keeping the topic rolling, Novasad's signing brings up a point made by listener Stephen from Virginia — how many quarterbacks on a roster is too many? That question comes to mind when Novasad enters a room that features C.J. Stroud, Kyron Drones and Blake Shapen.
John makes the case that four quarterbacks is a fine number to hold, but it typically means that one player needs to go. In this scenario, it seems as though C.J. Stroud would be the player to exit, but a transfer from Kyron Drones would not necessarily come as a great shock.
Lastly, Drake lobs some softball's up to John in the realm of Nick Saban, Deion Sanders and Jimbo Fisher. From how the feud arose to the responses by Fisher and Sanders, John makes the case that the entire fiasco will not greatly affect recruiting for any teams involved.
And it's just another example of why Baylor is blessed with Dave Aranda. He'd also still commit to playing for Saban, if one day given the chance.
