'24 CA QB Julian Sayin (Alabama Verbal)

[arrowryan]

Why is he on a silver platter? He has a ND shirt?

Yes lol. This should be an auto offer. No in person eval required.

 

[Luckylucci]

I don’t know if he’s an auto commit or anything like that. But, yea, you can offer this kid now. In this day and age I don’t see the risk. He commits too early and isn’t what you expected when 2023 rolls around. Ok, recruit a 2nd QB. That doesn’t seem like a big deal.

 

[NDVirginia19]

I can't wait for this kid to get offered, commit to Notre Dame, get a top 100 rating, then go to a QB Coach who "refines" his throwing motion, and then he absolutely stinks it up at the camp circuits his senior year of high school, leading this board to yet another existential crisis

 

[Luckylucci]

He already has a QB coach. He’s got the right one. As long as he doesn’t go to Taylor dumbass Kelly then we should be good to go, lol.

 

[BobbyMac]

Tommy having to wait for 2023 to come into focus then close before moving on is the most 2020 thing ever. I've got 2025 guys who need offers and he's wondering if Dorman's gonna be good enough to offer next month when he's in town.

$1.75M and a call to Brian Hartline solves both of our problems.

 

[Luckylucci]

I think Rees has a bright future in the biz and I want him to do it at ND. But he’s got to get this figured out and it’s not really a difficult task. I’m not even concerned about his recruiting results as much as I am his process. QB recruiting is just non-sensical right now and that’s the problem.

Agreed. I wish him the best and hope it happens here...quick.

But, Hartline and his buddy Freeman running the ship for CEO Kelly with the offense whisperer = Jeff Quinn being there to help the young guys is my idea of an improvement.

 

[BobbyMac]

Remember, this is a freshman.

[BobbyMac]

Just two hours from his future home!

[Luckylucci]

We’ll offer when he camps next summer.

To be honest, I’m not super fond of teaching young QB’s to play like this when I think most would be better of not doing so. But, it’s unreal how natural this kid looks slinging the rock like this. He’s just a natural arm talent like there aren’t many of at his age.

So off-platform throws are the new hotness because Patrick Mahomes is the face of the NFL for the young kids... but I wonder about the staying power of both training like that AND of whether or not the NFL will let that style flourish.

The NFL is the copy-cat league, and Zach Wilson's rise is proof that teams want their own Mahomes. But I have my doubts about the old heads in the league ACTUALLY allowing that style to flourish outside of guys with truly unique talent. Relatedly, I wonder if young kids in HS are going to be too reliant on getting weird with their feet and throwing motion, and rely on weird rhythms, and will end up throwing themselves into trouble from clean pockets because they don't know how to operate like a true pocket QB.

A look at the future blue-chippers at the position.

Quote from Will Hewitt @ QBCollective:

“He didn’t miss,” Hewlett stated. “He spins it and has a fantastic release. The most consistent and polished kid at the event. The same every time and not in a robotic way. Very fluid, kind of adapt to any environment. He has a really large skill set in terms of movement and off-platform throwing. Out of anyone he probably had the most adaptable arm in terms of mechanics.”

FYI: Jadyn Davis has up until this past weekend been the most highly regarded 2024 prospect in the class after he was awarded scholarship from Sark/Saban at a Bama camp 2 years ago.

The torch has been passed at the QB position.

Oh... On FB someone mentioned Loy said he's throwing with Chase Spellman next month.

Anyone see that on 247?

 

[Luckylucci]

It wasn't a very definitive statement like it's been confirmed or anything of that nature. I believe he said "he could see Julian visiting with Chase" or something like that.

I think it's partly a fad (as you note) but it's also genuinely useful because 7-on-7 is becoming more prominent in evaluation and development. It's a format that doesn't punish QBs for concrete feet. So the off-platform drills helps to develop, maintain, and evaluate balance and athleticism.

I don't know much about throwing a football but baseball players use lots of different arm angles and I don't think it hinders them when it's time to step in and launch a throw.

Is 2024 Kelly's last year at ND?

Yep. We get rid of him, Under Armour and Stanford all at the same time.

[Luckylucci]
