2019 Recruiting Thread

From my longer term understanding of UConn and other schools, you don't really count a kid as committed until the signature's dry, the kid shows up on campus, practices several weeks, he arrives at a stadium on game day, and actually plays in a game. That's what happens after you see some surprise commits and experience surprise departures, e.g., projected 2001 returning starting QB who no-showed (name?) leading to Keron Henry starting before his injury led to DO starting as a freshman. ;)

He didn't no show he blew out his knee the season before and lost confidence after a bad scrimmage in fall camp, decided he didn't want to take a chance of injuring himself further, told Edsall and left. I really liked Tracey's style of play definitely one of the forgotten decent JUCO players we have had.

Cross another one off. Pitt about to fill its class by 8/1.

 
HCRE used to say that a commitment meant the recruit was leaning your way until signing day.

18 years later, my bad. Thanks for the correction. Point stands: For wide varieties of reasons, 18-23 year old guys are as committed as being available and showing up to play on game day. Or, finding or learning a knee may not support playing high level football well a la Tracey.

Kid has real very good touch on his throws.
He can really whip it too.
Not gonna win many foot races. Gonna need to be quick in his decision making because his feet will not buy him much time.

Are we getting away from dual threat qb’s?
Shouldn’t this cycle be more for dual threat given last cycle was Pro Style.

Maurice Robertson is a 6-1 DT QB/Athlete from Sweet Home High School in Amherst NY.
 
FWIW According to HUDL this guy is 6'3'' / 177lbs and after watching his tape, he played QB/WR and Safety rather than DT. He has some athletic ability. I think he's more Safety or WR than QB. Has some wiggle, doesn't shy from contact. A senior season might tells us a lot more as his development looks like it could go a few different ways.

Sigh... DT = Dual Threat

MaxPrep had him @ 6-1.

TBH - I don’t spend a ton of time looking @ the tapes I post (maybe the first few plays). I figure the coaches are much more skilled @ that and will figure out if a kid has the talent they are looking for

But if you dont have some sort of opinion about the kids then its bit of a bore. ... I guess we all find different ways to enjoy football.
