At least preferred walk-on status or something.

6’4”, 190-pounder has passed for 8,407 yards and 78 touchdowns while completing more than 65 percent of his passes.

He owns the Havre High single-season records for passing yards and total touchdowns, and he’s on pace to break the Montana state records in career passing touchdowns (needs five more) and passing yards (needs 501 yards). As for basketball, the state’s career-points mark is also within his sights if he has a strong senior season.

Despite his athletic exploits and a 4.0 GPA with a goal to major in the medical field in college, Warp’s dream of landing a scholarship offer from a big-time college football program seems to be out of his reach. He does, however, hold one offer in football from the University of Mary, which is a Division II school located in Bismarck, North Dakota.

...Last season, Warp threw for 2,629 yards and 27 touchdowns with only five interceptions.

..“It was his freshman year when he had multiple games where he threw for five touchdowns and over 300-something yards,” Leeds said. “He just made defenses look silly and made defensive coordinators game-plan for more than one kid. People tried to all-out blitz us, they tried to drop back into Cover 2 under and different types of coverages. He saw multiple defenses, and no one could shut him down.”

Multiple times we offered a kid who had no other division one offers to play QB a scholarship. And none of'm worked out. Lets stick with kids that at least one other school is interested in! The time for Dana to prove he is smarter than everyone else at picking a QB passed with Ford Childress and Paul Millard.

What about Holgorsen's QBs at Texas Tech, OSU, and Houston. And don't forget about Geno and Trickett. WVU now looks like they have 4 good QBs ( time will tell ).
 
Did Dana actually recruit any of the guys you mentioned? Geno was already here. Trickett pretty much knew where he wanted to go before he even knew for sure he was leaving FSU. And I doubt he recruited and had final say on any of the QB at the other schools. And even if he did how many of those guys were without a D1 offer? With the way these travel circuits are in football finding that top secret recruit that is jut under the radar is all but a thing if the past. If a guy is any good these coaches and agents find a way to get them on a travel squad.
 
The kid's stats and performances sound impressive......but he's not invisible or living on Mars while putting up those stats. Coaches in that half of the country (if nowhere else) would be aware of him and would be aware of those same stats. There's got to be a separate reason why he didn't draw attention from someone other than University of Mary??

To be fair, I don't believe Holgorsen had anything to do with Geno's recruitment, and Trickett kind of fell in his lap. In his case, it was more the school than the coach. I do get your point, though.

As far as the QB recruit, if he was a hidden gem, at least one coach from Utah, BYU, Colorado, or the New Mexico School of Mines would know about him. If none of them have offered, then something isn't kosher. Maybe the competition he's gone against.
