It's even more concerning when you take into consideration the way he manufactured his QB room. His most productive QB in his tenure at scUM was Rudock, the transfer from Iowa. He had/still has a QB room full of 4 star recruits in Speight, Peters, and McCaffrey, then took in yet ANOTHER transfer who immediately started over each of these recruits that the so called QB Guru Harbaugh was supposed to be molding.
It's a bad look for recruiting. Idk why any Elite 11 caliber QB recruit would even take a look at playing for Harbaugh the way he's handled the depth chart, let alone the lack of progression we've seen from those he did recruit
Speight was an unranked recruit with zero offers from the FBS until that QB genius Al Borges offered him. He wasn't a 4*.
Peters by the way just got passed over by McCaffrey for 2nd string on the depth chart. There's been insider chatter from day one he just doesn't have the personality that Harbaugh wants in a QB- that he's basically weird, doesn't talk at all and isn't a leader. That talk has been out there since he arrived. I really like the young McCaffrey from what I've seen. Definitely looks to me like he's just got more of a feel for the game than Peters ever did.
Joe Milton was a 4* but that ranking was 100% based on upside. He's huge, athletic, and probably had the strongest arm in the entire 2018 class but he was raw as it comes. Should've been ranked a 3*, because at the actual game of football- he just wasn't that good in high school. 6'5, 235, runs a 4.6 and can throw a football at probably close to 70 mph and over 85 yards. What good is any of that though if you can't read defenses and complete passes accurately consistently?
Rudock started because he was flat out the best QB on that roster in 2015. And it wasn't even close. Shea started because he was flat out the best QB on that roster in 2018. And it's not even close.
