Highlights

 

[Dale]

He’s had plenty of talk over the last few weeks but sounds like could even be thread worthy soon. Already have one for Glenn. I might be in the we have Dante Moore at home boat with offering Kenny Minchey but we will see. Those are the three names to eye per Singer.

Glad they looking to add a qb

After watching tape on Glenn, Minchey, Novosad, and Collins, Novosad looks like the clear stud amongst the group. I think Collins looks decent too. Minchey looks okay to me. Collins is a hard Purdue lock from what I hear. Glenn is very raw, like too raw. So inaccurate it's hard to watch. Novosad is good enough that with a year in the system, it would be huge competition for CJ. Frankly, I don't see a huge gap between the two.

The "excited" part is key. Not just blessed.

At least it wasn't "beyond blessed." I could never figure out what that meant.

 

[BeauBenken]

ISD has tended to suggest that the only school they think at the moment that could flip Novosad is A&M where his parents went.

Yeah it’d happy to be wrong but I can’t get too enthused about a offer here. A visit is more noteworthy. In fact the timing is kind of disappointing to me, were we actually waiting on Moore?

Probably. But ND has to be intriguing. He's currently committed to a private Christian school. ND is a private Christian school on steroids.

But as mentioned above, it proves we were absolutely F'ing waiting on Dante up until he actually committed to Oregon on TV. To me, that is pathetic.

His offers pre-commitment were:

Baylor
Colorado
Houston
Kansas
Louisiana Tech
Rice
SMU
Texas State
Texas Tech
UTSA
Vanderbilt

It’d imagine Baylor had many other pros over these schools other than their Baptist background.

 

[Reaper97]

IB just said to expect more QB offers announced soon, specifically Minchey.

 

[arrowryan]

This offer needed to go out when the staff was getting pantsed by the Moore family. They’re probably way too late to the party.

 

[NDPhilly]

This is more or less a waste of time at this point. Minchey is the one we should be targeting as he goes to a catholic school and has already visited ND. Like his tape better than Novosad anyway + he performed better at the elite 11.

There’s zero reason he hasn’t committed to A&M yet. Everything about him and his family screams A&M. The fact he hasn’t decommitted from Baylor and flipped to College Station leads me to believe there may be a chance he’ll take a honest look at ND.

I am not Tommy Rees, but put me in the “meh” category on him.

Side note: Dante’s boy toy mentioned that it’s looking like as of today, CJ will remain in the ‘24 class.

Why meh?

FWIW, Loy said that he doesn't believe Novosad would have been communicating with ND as much as he has been if his mind was already made up.

If he is looking for money from A&M (not saying he is), that’s a brilliant strategy.
Tell Jimbo you have Marcus Freeman on line 1…

Everyone is looking for money. Let's be honest.

 

[SoIll]

Why meh?

- Not a very big kid. Totally fine alot of kids that age need too.
- pretty much zero mobility. He's actually really slow lol. From my understanding, he's not a plus athlete. Me, personally I like a kid who can extend plays. That said, if he can go through his reads and let it rip, mobility shouldn't matter. Maybe he can.
- Nothing really on his film made me go wow. Most elites have a couple plays in the beginning of their highlights that make you "wow". He looks like a steady good QB, but "meh" to me.

Except Arch.
His family is an ATM.

I've seen people compare him to Jack Coan, with maybe a better arm. I understand that's not exactly exciting, and that having a QB that isn't a statue is always preferred, but with a better OL we probably don't think Coan is a statue. And if this kid comes in and gives us 3000 yards, 25 TDs/7 INTs, and 65% completion percentage....I'd take that. At least as a QB in the room.

 

[Dale]

but with a better OL we probably don't think Coan is a statue.

We knew Coan was a statue before we knew our OL was gonna stink, it just wasn’t expected to matter as much.

Why are you posting Tom Brady’s scouting report?

 

[Dale]

My naked eye hasn’t really seen the velo the written reports talk about. I get he’s added weight so maybe more recent video than his JR film has it and even more weight would project more plus arm strength but I thought Minchey looked stronger.

 

[Sea Turtle]

No way we can get this kid.
