'12 OH QB Maty Mauk (Missouri Verbal)

[beryirish]

The Genoa Comets are a Division 4 Team. In Ohio, there are three larger divisions than this. If Matty Mauk has been building up his statistics against Division 4 competition all year, then he has a long way to go to prove he can transfer any of that to the D1 level in college.

I'm not saying he can't, but at the Division 4 level in Ohio high school football quality DB's and DE's are rare. The best athletes are playing the skill positions at this level, and if a good athlete is playing DB or DE at a Division 4 high school level in Ohio he is most likely a two-way player, not a D1 prospect.

Every team he competes against at the D1 level will field DB's far superior to the majority of DB's Mauk has been seeing on the field throughout his high school career.

I understand what you're saying and agree, most division 4 players in Ohio are farm boys and not the big top notch athletes you see in higher divisions.

His older brother, Ben, was just as productive at Kenton and he went to Wake Forest and later to Brian Kelly's led Cincy team and did exceptionally well considering he had a major injury in his career.

Mauk doesn't have the most impressive offer list, mostly regional teams. But two teams that stand out besides Missouri are Michigan and Notre Dame that offered him. They see enough in him to look past the competition he plays in to give him an opportunity to play at a BCS level. Offers like these make me look past what division he plays in and who he plays against because scouts/recruiters from these types of teams aren't doing any favors to anyone and giving out offers. They are handing out offers because they see a big talent that can help their football program out.

Just when you though this debate was over.

there really is no need to debate it any further...mauk has made is decision and it is pretty much set in stone. missouri is and always has been the perfect fit for him, but idk if ppl saying he can't transfer his talents to the next level is accurate. he will have a transition period like all QB's do, but we'll have to wait and see

did maty mauk decommit from missouri? my father in law from ohio said he heard this was the case. if so, does he get back in the mix?

hope not

 

[rtrn2glory]

saw him play again last night and this kid is the real deal...he's every bit of 6' 2" and he is an athlete...offense they run is a lot less crazy than i though it was, really nothing out of the ordinary, just putting your studs in the right place to make plays. again i will leave it at this maybe gunner is better, but maty is the perfect fit for our offense...perfect

 

[t3hjc]

Gunner's a better fit.

 

[rtrn2glory]

may be a good fit, but not a better fit.

 

[Irish Fam]

If woolybug hears about you saying this.... you will be in so much trouble lol

 

[Irish Man3]

Gunner's a better fit.

That's a matter of opinion. Many others feel differently.

 

[rtrn2glory]

If woolybug hears about you saying this.... you will be in so much trouble lol

should i edit it right now!!?? :/ lol

 

[Ironman8]

may be a good fit, but not a better fit.

I think Mauk is a better fit to be honest, but would gladly take either.

 

[felkey72]

I grew up around Kenton, played against his brother Ben who i think has a better arm, but less athletic. I have heard no such thing as Maty decommiting. But i do believe he is the perfect QB for the system Kelly wants to run. I have said that for 2 years, Ben ran it at Cinny when Kelly was there.

 

[rtrn2glory]

i meant to say that i don't think kiel is a better fit than mauk, he's a good fit, but not better...sorry if there's confusion. would love either of them, but i gotta admit i became a bigger fan of maty after watching him last night...super athlete and runs like a running back not a quarterback...very competitive.

Wooly how do you feel about this?

 

[woolybug25]

Wooly how do you feel about this?

1) Who gets arrested for an incident on a scooter anyways?
2) He's third on Mizzou's depth chart (Gunner would probably start there day 1)
3) True Fact: It is unlawful to throw hard objects by hand in Missouri. So technically, they're breaking the law by having a football team.
Stupid Laws in Missouri

 

[GBdomer]

Just wondering because I know you love him like a son.

My buddy is from Missouri and is a huge Mizzou fan, so I kinda follow them a bit. Kiel would definitely not be starting yet. Their QB, James Franklin, had a really good year last year and they are extremely high on him, as he is perfect for their offense (dual threat who has some serious wheels). And he lost his top 3 RBs and still produced. Now, he had off-season shoulder surgery which could have given Kiel an edge, but apparently he is good to go.

Ahhhhhh Wooly, you do love you some Kiel!!!!
