looks a little raw, but I thought he looked very impressive. Perfect qb for our system IMO, should be interesting to see how he is used if Gunner holds down the starting spot eventually

Malik has made it clear he is a QB and QB only and will not be changing positions under andy circumstances.

Not bad, 5th best Dual Threat QB is something ill take, especially when they say something like this: "A pocket passer that can run" and "dominates every camp he goes to with this great athleticism."

Wish he had the chance to throw the ball a bit more in his hs system, seems to be making waves on the camp circuit with his ability to toss the rock. Very happy with Zaire.

Boy, Kelly can sure find 'em can't he? Uncovers people who's stock really rises, like C Robinson; has four players drafted in the first fifty picked; and turns guys around like Michael Floyd. Wow, what a great job!

Congratulations to Malik getting recognized as one of the "Elite" of college football!!! This is not only great news for Malik, but should really help ND build this recruit those last couple of skill players that the offense needs.

Agreed, good piece. Liked this part especially:

"After glowing about Zaire’s athleticism and arm, Roth also pointed to the intangibles Irish fans are seeing as Zaire has taken a leadership role in building his recruiting class. The skills that are toughest to measure might be Roth’s favorite aspect of Zaire’s game."

That would indeed make him a perfect quarterback for Kelly's system. Sure, the skills are just as important, but intelligence and leadership are two huge calling cards that BK has been waiting for any QB to step up and take. It ties into turnovers, it ties into momentum, it ties into consistency; all those things come are furthered by intelligence and leadership. Can't wait to get this kid on campus. Hopefully by that point he's following in the footsteps of a couple other stud QBs at ND.

Rochell should definitely change his date to the 14th from the 3rd.

I'm stoked about this kid, you can tell he's a leader and we have been lacking that for a very long time.

Yeah he is a great kid and does a lot of things great by example! He is not a vocal take charge of the team leader even by his own testaments there captain sarcasm! This team needs someone who keeps everyone together in the locker room, in school, and on the field. That is in no way a dig at Manti, but I don't see that being the case. I think this class is such that a leader will emerge and take charge of his team, and if I'm right there will be a couple top 5 finishes, maybe even a crystal football in ND's future, if I'm wrong we will be whinning over another 8-5 season.

Some lead vocally, some lead by example. Manti is the latter. That said, the offense could definitely use a leader on and/or off the field.

Just watched the highlights and wow.

He is really fast!

And watch the second play, I think that is a triple option run that he decides to pass on because he sees a guy wide open. That means that he has to watch that as well as run the option if that guy isn't open. If so, this kid is gonna be really special(even if I am wrong about that play I think he will be special)!
