FB Recruiting Rutgers Football lands Minnesota QB Athan Kaliakmanis and WR Dino Kaliakmanis
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
So he'll be happy to back-up Gavin lol? @Shelby65
Shelby could not have been more wrong, and he is very happy to have to admit that. Now let's see a real QB competition. Shelby is skeptical.
Credit to vkj for the 'silent verbal' prognostication. Shelby doesn't see a reason for the secrecy, but it doesn't matter anymore

Hopefully it's Gavin holding the clipboard.
Dumb Shelby. Best QB plays.
Athan 3 years
Dino the same
edit: 2 years not 3 for both ,was pointed out in a reply to this.
Also agree with this being a package deal
Athan will provide competition for Wimsatt.
Dino might be special teams, he doesn't seem to have any stats as a Gopher WR
that I could find
Athan's stats aren't that great as Minny's 2023 starter , but better than Gavin's

crap
was just going to post the same gif
Both have two years remaining.
Two thoughts
1. This had to be a package deal as I don't see Dino as an upgrade over what RU has coming back.
2. Sheppard barely mentioned. Not sure what he showed in practice last year, but he seems like the forgotten man here. Not sure there would be a big demand if he entered the portal, but I wouldn't be surprised if he took that path,

Simplistic. "Best" isn't a 40 time. HCs evaluate pro and con of QBs relative to their philosophy and other players. Wimsatt is a good fit for GS's philosophy (ie RB2). We will see if passing talent remains an afterthought.
I know GS like to run but this QB was limited base on his skills. In past years, Schiano QBs has never been limited this way.They are going to present it to both QB that the best QB will play, the majority of fans know how it ends.
Good news. May the best man win. Like the timing of this - no noise pre-pinstripe.
We will see. I don’t think this kids 53% completion rate in the B1G West is nearly the slam dunk over Wimsatt’s 49% from the B1G East that you think it is.
If Surace or Sheppard can come in and hit at 60% they will both be sitting, as they should.
Welcome to Big Time College Football. Competition makes everyone better.
Minnesota had a 14% drop rate — second worst in country. AK’s adjusted completion percentage is actually 66%
Speaking of yourself in the 3rd person is really ignorant. You know that, right? Eat crow and shut up. Thank you.
Wish we could have done better in the portal than this kid, but at least they’ll be some competition. Won’t be surprised if either one of them wins the job.
Not sure what the consider "drop"...touch his hands, thru their hands, running before catching...I have no idea. You're assuming EVERY one of those drops (100%) are caught right?
ignorant how ? one of us is ignorant about the definition of ignorant, and it isn’t Shelby.
This can only help with a heated competition, as many people pointed out with their opinions GS was waiting till after the Bowl game to avoid any distractions, from watching GS for so Many years he has become very predictable in his actions , but I think the Offensive coordinator pushed for this to happen .
There are college analytics out there. Whatever the definition, it is equally applied to all teams. And Minnesota has the second highest rate.
Here’s his 22-23 highlights, when Kirk was there .. looks like a scrambler, fast, and throws darts over the middle - everything Wimsatt was supposed to be:
If he does it will mean he improved a lot. So, I’m ok with this too. But, I expect AK to be the starter.
Might want to dig into the facts a bit more
AK’s receivers had a 14% drop rate which was the highest in Div 1….which skews those numbers quite a bit
May the best man win
You assume all those balls are caught. AK also played a softer schedule. Its a closer battle than people think.
So why did he get benched at Minnesota? They brought a FCS QB to replace him this year.
Appreciate you taking ownership. Sometimes it’s best to just sit back and pay attention to who is saying what. Or in the mods case who stopped commenting on the process. Now you should put the “real competition” stuff to bed. He is QB1 regardless of what anyone’s uncle wants to believe.
Come on now lil son. Crawl on back to your cave. And shut you ignorant lil misinformed fat mouth going forward. Thanks in advance.
Huh?
His receivers dropped 14% of his passes which had a HUGE impact on his completion percentage….
How’s that an assumption?
He was recruited specifically for this offense by KC….he did not run the same offense this past year
VKJ trounces the lil fool Shelby. Shelby mad. Shelby wanted RU to lose to Miami. Shelby is an idiot.
Both QBs should be better with the competition. Looking forward to an improved QB position.
He was Kirk's guy. Played well 2 years ago under Kirk, Kirk leaves, and he didn't do as well in new system. Lucky for us, he's going back to the system he knows.
