I thought everyone is saying TB is our savior so this shouldn't matter much

Even if Buchner is legit it's no excuse to miss as badly as they did for this cycle.

Bama, OSU, and Clemson are getting top 50 players at QB just about every year.

I am watching a Bergen game on youtube to get a look at Angeli's non-highlights. The opponent is Estime's team.
Angeli is impressive but Estime is REALLY impressive.

Here is his Boom Workout. It's not bad, because he's not a bad prospect. He's a solid, call it good, P5 guy as I've said all along. But this is not a strong arm. As he starts to work downfield the ball starts to get away from him and flutter or sail. It's good or adequate but certainly not a plus skillset relative to other QB's that we'd take over him. I've seen workout videos for Wimsatt and Allar and those guys have clearly better ball velocity, spin, and control as they push the ball downfield.

This is a strong arm
Video | 2022 QB Gavin Wimsatt Workout | Irish Sports Daily

I would agree Wimsatt has a “stronger” arm, but that doesn’t negate the fact Angeli has a strong arm. It is not his biggest strength and he doesn’t have the velocity of some of the elite guys in this category, but it is more than adequate(Ie...he can make all the throws).

I was mostly trying to argue against the narrative that this kid was a drop in the hat pickup. Arm strength is probably the most over emphasized attribute in QB evaluation. Many GM’s miss on QB’s for this exact reason, because they are enamored by guys who can throw a mile. Is it important? Yes. I just think it isn’t the biggest priority as it pertains to projecting ones future success.

So according to Coach Vito, Angeli can run a 4.7, which is great and all, but he is definitely not a runner. He tries to make cut back moves that make Peyton Manning look like a gazelle.

I do think he can help us out in recruiting though so I am glad to have him on board. He plays with some great teammates at Bergen and on the 7v7 circuit who we are already recruiting. I'd imagine that his commitment can only help us there.

Is now a 4 star in the 247 composite and rated above the class average.

ESPN made him a top 150 recruit...did he recently commit to the UA game?

This seems like the year to take 2 QBs...rather than last year.

Most of the guys ranked ahead of Angeli don’t have offers from Power 5 schools. Some don’t even have profiles on 247 or Rivals. I don’t put a whole lot of stock in these camps, but you would think Angeli would at least be able to separate himself from guys who won’t be playing Power 5 football.

EDIT: Apparently this was a test of their athleticism, not their overall performance (not very clear from the Tweet).

I'll play devil's advocate here even though there's no tape, simply because I'm not ready to start working yet on a Monday. The part of the post he mentions he had some throws sail inaccurate, but thought it was due to it being a windy day, which I totally understand. However, that is what worried me about him from the start. He had a very low completion percentage for the season (I believe less than 60%) Just my opinion, but an elite QB should be pushing close to if not above 70% in high school. Who knows what factors played into it, but from the start I have always been worried about the low completion percentage. Sorry for the rant.

I thought he looked good in the Rivals highlights. It will be interesting to watch his senior year though. Different thing when the lights are on.

I think the same as I did before. He's solid. That's the best adjective I can come up with to describe him. I don't think there a lot of weaknesses but I don't see any unique traits. I think he's a low 4 star/high 3 star QB. I'll leave it at that.
