is definitely a loss.

Our best path to being good is a good QB. The best path for a good QB is a high school recruit who has learned our system. We now of none of those in our program but true freshman.

Hillstead is not far off that and might be in better position than a true freshman that sat out the last year.

Hillstead is fine. He still has three years to play and will likely RS this year

True although physically Burton is superior. Who knows mentally which is more
