Luke Kromenhoek in the boat!
- Thread starter Tractorman
- Start date
Yeah, but what does he know?
Ohhhhhhhhh, this is gonna be the most state thing ever isn’t it?
Kronan the Barbarian
Ok so I watched FSU's last two games where Luke K. was starting. He looks like he has a quick release, especially for a tall kid. He can throw on the run and throws the seam route well. The short ball and pass to the flats is good. His deep ball is accurate and like so many QB's seems like he under throws it by a step. In his high school videos he was all arm and looks like his mechanics are better now. Seems to get a lot more power from his legs and hips now. He is built like an athlete and can run, but isn't elusive laterally much compared to his straight line speed. The one knock I really saw was he fumbled some when getting hammered from his blind side. Looks like a really good QB in the making.

I’m no Lebby fan. But 2 things I don’t worry about with him are QBs and WRs. He’ll bring in good enough & coach them up. The rest I worry a lot about.
probably be a good idea, supposedly he’s got a little league dad who is driving the process and there may be more visits. I don’t know how much of that is true. They claim he wanted a million and playing time.
It was good knowing you…..although we hardly knew you.
The article I read with his dad’s discussion of leaving FSU was all about how he felt they didn’t visit enough places last time, so I was going to be surprised if they didn’t take more visits
It looks like everybody is basing it off one semi questionable Twitter post. Always a a good idea.
Dammit. I already had several sophomoric nicknames picked out ready to go.
One thing I’ve learned through observation is that when something is reported by one outlet, but then not confirmed pretty quickly, the chances of it happening aren’t good. I’m not celebrating until the university Twitter account puts out a graphic of him wearing a State uniform.
B-b-b-but he posted a picture of Mississippi State to his insta stories. That’s practically a commitment, right?***
Was always kinda sus. Guys like that are hard to get without a reasonable guarantee to start. That's the reason they are transferring to begin with. I mean we couldn't even keep our own current starting QB without that.
We better get Shapen in the weight room.

If our coaches are hung up on giving incoming transfers (who are deserving) a guarantee to start, I fear we're in more trouble than we realize. Starting guarantees are common in the NFL and that's the model we need to be following, not a 1980s "earn your role" mentality. I still believe in that, but kids today, many with a travel ball backgrounds, don't.
It's reasonable if one stands out from the pack. And with us, I don't necessarily think they CAN give that guarantee. I mean is it worth our time and effort to pay MVB or Chromecock big money when we have Shapen? On the other hand, Shapen is injury prone. If he weren't there, I'm sure we probably have one of these guys in the boat, but the backup is still a problem. We're going to have to get a less heralded guy for that spot, unless we overpay like Ole Miss did in 2023 for that Oklahoma State guy.
If we want to challenge for 5 wins (I realize a long shot), we can't go into 2025 with Shapen penciled in as a starter. Now if are we going to accept 3-9 in 2025 and put all our chips on the table for 2026, then let's just roll with Shapen in 2025 and the true freshman.
It’s apparently official now. He’s committed.
That a SPS NIL deal to change numbers?It’s apparently official now. He’s committed.
Old enough to remember this one? All he needs is SPS or 6P on the name plate.
In 1976 Ted Turner signs Andy Messersmith to a multimillion dollar contract with the Braves and nicknames him "CHANNEL" and gives him number "17" ... Channel 17 was Turner's TV station... it didn't last long before the NL President made him change it
