He was at the elite 11 where 1 or 2 got invites

That was a regional event. The Miami commit, Dereon Coleman, received the only national invite from that event (for now).

As I said, Elite 11 had 16 QBs last year. For the 2025 event, 20 will be invited.

We’re throwing out whether he is or isn’t it, what was the critique? Just he ain’t it isn’t very informative

Grubbs has clear arm talent. He’s a pretty big departure in terms of the fact that he’s a pure pocket passer but I’m curious what the knock is besides athleticism and the typical mental stuff (progressions, reads etc)

athleticism, accuracy, turnovers were his concern

So we’ve known the athleticism piece since the beginning with him. So really just accuracy as that goes hand in hand with turnovers? Doesn’t seem like a complete write off. That’s coachable.

Yeah, I am not hating on the kid. Just sharing the article. With the way things are trending, he is right though. No reason we shouldn't get a flat out stud in that class.

In what way are things trending lol? Its the spring and he's had nothing but strong showings at events.

There's a happy medium between "5 star stud" and "this kid stinks". I don't think he's a top 50 guy, but he has those big time offers for a reason.

Recruiting, Team momentum, Etc. Notre Dame should be looking at the best QBs on the market. "Trending" was in reference to state of the program. Not Grubbs

And in terms of prospects we are in on at the moment, correct?

Where is his elite 11 invite?
He will get one as well as 19 others this year. He's a solid player with a lively arm and mediocre athleticism, just has to get the accuracy issue adjusted. He's never going to wow anyone like Ryder Lyons but should be a solid/good player.

You guys saying Herbert and Grubbs aren’t it are clowns. Grubbs has been constantly named as one of the most impressive on the 7-7 circuit and at camps. Have you ever heard of development chances are Carr is gonna be QB for the next 3 years.

Mike Frank in a nutshell? I dig ISD more then most of the other programs, but MF would bitch about a BJ from Jenna Jameson because she had a couple gray hairs.

He goes pretty in depth in his original post and in a response comment as to why he feels the way he does. He also acknowledges that he has his entire senior season to improve on those things, not sure what else he can do there.

Nobody else was alarmed at how many times he turned the ball over his junior season?

I get hyping your guy, but this seems to be right up there with Trujillo calling him a "generational talent" a year ago. I'll stick with a very talented QB prospect which could turn into a very good college QB. It's hard for me to take anything his QB coach seriously with the over the top hype.

Seems like his qb coach loves himself a bit too much

Dude breathes through his mouth it seems like. I’d have to put that down as a negative on my scouting report. Not sure he can breath efficiently through his nose for max oxygen to brain. Hope he has enough smarts already.

I'll take the immobility over the ability and confidence to drive the ball down field.

Saw some comments in Malachi Ziegler's chat, that there is a souring opinion of Grubbs...anyone have quotes related to this? Perhaps some context as well?

Reminder Noah committed with offers from Miami, UF, A&M, OSU, OU, PSU, Michigan, Auburn, Ole Miss and others. This wasnt an easy, no brainer, pull by the staff.

I can't remember where I read it, but didn't he lose like 10-15 pounds heading into last year. He'll never be confused with a dual threat, but it looks like he can move around enough in the pocket to at last avoid the rush/extend plays.

He reminds me of the 2010s Air Raid QBs. His arm is good, not elite. Don’t love his throwing motion but it’s fine. A stronger lower body might add some juice there. He’s not a statue, he’s more mobile than like Kyle McCord for example. Offense they are asking him to run is very RPO first read stuff.

At LSU, the slot fade was a big part of Denbrock's O. I talked to Grubb's OC last year about their deep choice concept (Briles shit). He could excel here if we have the dudes out wide...
