I'm liking him more and more. He's our kind of player

looking forward to seeing him both sports.

Best quote of the whole read.

"Carl is a beast, he sacked me twice," Staley said. "Nkemdiche never touched me."

 

[SidneyBurger]

In the basketball video

he's playing against a bunch of short whiteys. I hope that's not what he's used to.

 

[NCDawg.sixpack]

He appears to be a great athlete. Don't think we've had a left handed QB since Bruce Threadgill. On second thought, we had another one play a little for us before he transferred to Jackson State.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

didn't know that his round ball team was a powerhouse with really good players. maybe getting him on the team can with recruiting some of his teammates.

Yep. Trey Rutland I believe it was.

ETA* wrong quote

1-29 to the playoffs. That's my kind of team.

 

[DAWG61]

Can't lie I'm more excited for his basketball potential. He has a pretty smooth stroke. Reminds me of Jalen Rose (both lefty's). Now I'm not comparing the two talent wise because that's absurd but I do think his shot looks like Jalen's.

Tyler Lee approves of his QB sneaking abilities.

Tell us more about "Tyler".

Perfect fit for the offense that Dan wants to run....

Damn he's so tall it doesnt look like he's running fast, but leaves people in the dust. Throws a good ball also. Would be a great addition.

Glad he committed early, but we all know the heppin will only increase until signing day. His skill set will definitely draw the attention of those willing to pull all stops to sign someone.

 

[Todd4State]

I can't wait to see him play

He's a little raw, but he will improve over time.

I think he's pretty solid with us though. Dan and Rick letting him play both sports will help us with him a lot.

I agree he's a little raw, but there are some things I really, really like:

1) Vandy wanted him; given their academic standards, we know he's a smart guy...which is what we need at QB.

2) #1 is buttressed by the highlight reel. Yes, I know it only shows the best stuff, but there's some little things I noticed.
a) At 3:17 where the pass is to the outside of the receiver, away from the CB. Several other instances where the pass was only catchable by the receiver.
b) At 3:50, rather than scramble, he stays home and finds the receiver.

3) I can't wait to see this guy on the field in a few years once Balis has packed about 30+ more lbs of muscle on him.
