I called this when he dropped us for UCLA. Funny part is that he could be in his third year starting right now at USF. He will have to sit this year if he goes to another FBS. I believe he will have 2 years eligibility after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where that puts him, being dual threat and all. I think he committed when USF was in the Big East with a future, and backed out when Holtz was fired and I believe the Big East's future was in doubt.

I wish him the best wherever he ends up though. The kid had some serious potential, and deserves the opportunity to show what he can do. UCLA just wasn't the place to try and show it. They always land top QB recruit year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, the G5 schools should get together and force a rule change - we have the votes - that a P5 to G5 transferee doesn't have to sit Edited June 3, 2015 by charsibb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the world of competition young man. You can run from it, but it will not go away. It follows you... My guess is he goes to UCF, as I think UF passes on him, and I think he avoids USF due to baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GOL does not like "me" people, which was my way far away impression of Mr AW. Also, UCF just got a commit from their #1 2016 QB target, so I think they are unlikely to be very attractive to AW. Top 2015 target just began school IIRC, so they are not hungry for a risky proposition IMO. Good luck to he and his family. He'll need it.

His dad also says UF has been talking to him for about a year. I'm not rules guru, but I thought it was against the NCAA rules to effectively recruit a kid while he's enrolled at another school. Any insight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect sitting in Hundley's shadow for 2 years, waiting for his shot, only to be passed up by at LEAST one younger QB may inject some humility into him. But...if a bunch of schools start chasing him, the head could begin to start re-swelling. We shall see. I'm sure he'll pick soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck young man. Be accountable for your decisions. Best of luck with your next spot. Let no one work harder than you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
