'10 OH QB Andrew Hendrix (Notre Dame Signee)

[IrishInFl]

That's all Hendrix needs to be shown is a Saints, Colts, and Vikings game to show that the spread is used often by the best teams in the nfl.

 

[NDinL.A.]

It sounds like Hendrix will end up at ND, however, he hasn't exactly come out and said that yet. I can't imagine an athletic, big-armed QB like Hendrix not wanting to play in Kelly's offense and throw the ball 35-40 times a game, but we'll see.

Does anyone know where else does he have offers from that he would even consider?

I can definitely see why he might be looking elsewhere. He committed to ND because he wanted to be in a pro-style offense, because he wanted to be prepared for the pros. And he knew that CW was one of the best in the business at preparing QBs for the pros. Being in a pro-style set is important in a lot of ways, especially learning to come from under center to set-up play action. Yes, there are teams that play with 5 wides and use the shotgun a lot, but even thse teams come from under center also.

So now Hendrix needs to figure out whether he wants to be in a spread offense or not. Ohio St and Tennessee wanted him before, but I'm not sure if they still do...

I don't know what you games you watched this past year, but Jimmy very rarely took any snaps from under center. I'd say 70-80% of the time, Notre Dame was in the shotgun.

Now, I can't argue that Weis is definitely the best in the business in terms of preparing a young QB for the NFL, but I don't think Hendix is going to find anyone else comparable.

Tennessee just inked the Simms kid out of JC, so I'm assuming they are done and Ohio St. signed up some local schmo this week as well.

Though i find made up stats funny, that is still 20-30% under center which is about 20-30% more than Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Tim Tebow, and Tony Pike

I watched every single game this year, and yes, they were out of the 'gun a lot, but he was also under center. Spread offenses like Kelly's NEVER go under center, not even when it is 4th and a centimeter. As Jason said, 30% is much more than 0%.

Anyways, your argument is flat wrong because Jimmy started the year under center a lot, then had to come out of the gun when he hurt his toe. Go rewatch the games. They'd set up the play-action by taking snaps from center.

So, being in CW's pro-style offense, and taking snaps from under center, clearly helped prepare Jimmy for the pros in GMs' eyes. So I can see why Hendrix is waffling a bit...

ESPN reporting Powlus will not be retained. According to his high school coach, Hendrix was a slam dunk is Powlus stayed. Where does this leave him now?

 

[irishandy]

I hope he stays committed to the Irish, nothing against Rees, but I think that Hendrix is the better QB. I am glad that Powlus will not be retained.

Hendreix's comments after chatting with Kelly were overly positive. He was excited about the possibility of playing in Kelly's O.

Per ISD, Andrew Hendrix's comments after his visit at ND today, Hendrix had a very good talk with Kelly and they ironed some things out. He is going to think it over with his family over the holidays.

 

[OlympiaIrishFan]

Coach Kelly Please Call Andrew Hendrix!!

Coach Kelly Please Call Andrew Hendrix!!

I sure hope he calls him and helps him decide that ND is the place for him. We need good QB's coming in, and in my opinion he is one!!!

So, Coach Kelly please call him!

 

[NDinL.A.]

Ummm...not only has Kelly called him, Hendrix met with him in person yesterday. Please read Hendrix thread and post this stuff on his thread. Of course, you'll look foolish considering ypur school was ND?Just know that Kelly called him AND visited him this lady, but I guess you missed that. Go tell the the Muller waiter we're wiating...

EDIT: For comedic purposes, I'm not even going to edit this post. I went to a Christmas party last night, hung out with some old friends and had a drink or 8, and the above is what I wrote. My Lord, what the hell was I trying to say? LOL! "Go tell the Muller waiter we're waiting"??? LOL. Yes, even mods shouldn't drink and post. Ummm, wow....

My favorite part is "visited him this lady". What the hell does that mean?

Rumor alert here.

Expect Hendrix to decommit soon, probably resulting in him going to Florida. I have a source that claims he does not like Kelly, and is looking hard at Florida.

Of course, this is just a rumor at this point, so take it fwiw. This same sourcetold me hendrix might be wavering a few days before the news of that came out, so again take it fwiw. Also, sorrydor any spelling errors as I typed this on my phone.

I just want to point out the irony that your biggest error was in the sorry for any spelling errors disclaimer.

Besides that, I hope your wrong. Hendrix is the clear favorite for the successor to Crist spot as things stand right now.

Ah! Worries me slightly, because it would make sense as Florida doesn't have terrific depth in the position. Could you enlighten us more as to where the rumor is from?? This wouldn't help at all, although I do have confidence in Tommy Rees.

 

[OchoShayneO]

The thing about that that confuses me is where you said probally resulting in him going to Florida. I was under the impression that he wanted to play in a pro style offense. I figured if he decommitted it would be to go somewhere that didnt run a type of spread O.

Oh boy, not again. Dude, if you have a real source just say who it is. No one believes this rumor crap without solid proof of your source.

The thing about this is Urban does do a pretty good job of tailoring his system to his quarterback's strengths. Chris Leak was definitely a more pro-style quarterback, and they won a national championship. Not saying this is going to happen, but this would probably not be a big reason for NOT going to Florida.

true. scout profile doesnt list Florida. I know those arnt always accurate but just another reason against this rumor.

 

[NDinL.A.]

While agree with you guys about 'sources', but the Hendrix rumor to FL has been out there for over a week, and it appears to have legs. Tennessee is also rumored to be recruiting him hard. Not good either way...

Yeah, I noticed that none of the sites listed Florida as "recruiting" him. However, when I thought about it, I could totally see Urban licking his chops when Charlie was fired and thinking: "Open season..." (hopefully not on too many other recruits...)

well crap. dont let it ruin your holiday then everybody.

Believe me or don't believe me as you see fit. This is still just a rumor at this point and that's why I said take it fwiw. I hope my source is wrong about Hendrix of course, as he would be a huge loss, but I trust this particular individual in this particular case. I can not reveal anything further about this source, however, out of respect for the source's privacy. In fact, my source is already pissed at me for posting what I have.

The good news here is that it is not yet a done deal at this point. The bad news is that it does not look good for us right now.

 

[Maddog77]

I thought these threads were for actual info from an actual source and not rumors or innuendo.

If I'm wrong, I apologize, but this is the problem with disinformation.

Doesn't Florida have quite a few QB's in the wings along with a 5* redshirt???
