Sandberg visiting this week
- Thread starter MSU124
- Start date
That would make me feel a whole lot better. It would mean we're open to the idea of letting him playing 2 sports.
plus Gabe Myles and Dez Harris who both are pretty decent dual threat quaterbacks. We'll have four guys that can play quarterback sign in Feb. Getting Sandberg to turn down pro baseball is going to be tough. As bad as it is, I think in its our best interest that he has a horrible year in baseball.
None of our recruiting actions so far show that we are in any way seriously going after a second true QB in this class. We are recruiting some guys that play QB on their HS team (Gabe Myles and Dez Harris for example) but none of those guys are projecting at the QB position in college. Maybe we will go after a second one after our coaches get a better feel on Cord's situation but we don't seem to going after another one at this time.
this past weekend? It looked like the spirit was yammering on and on about it, but you know how they are.
Charlie had the intangibles. Does Devante? Charlie was fast but not ultra fast and didn't have a strong arm. Plenty of guys his size just weren't high D1 QBs though the offense he played in was made to suit him.He had "it". Kincade is going to have the scheme to suit him...but he must have"it" to succeed in high D1. Able to throw and read defenses on the move...able to diagnosis defenses and get into the right play...be very aware of his arm limitations and not make bad throws into coverage and know when it's time to chuck it out of bounds or tuck it and run...and then slide. The intangibles...the things you can't measure.
At 6'01/2" and having to gain weight to get to around 200 lbs he very simply is going to have to have the assets that are more intangible than the arm strength and size. No way to know for sure without lots of scouting and even then no way to get comfortable until he gets to campus.

Blurbs...
DeVante Kincade, Dallas (Texas) Skyline:
Kincade is the smallest quarterback (6-foot-1, 185 pounds) at the
event, and he really has to put a lot into the ball to get it downfield.
But on short and intermediate passes, he has good touch, gets the ball
out quickly and is accurate especially to the outside of the field. He's
a true dual-threat, but size remains the big issue.<div style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;">

<h3>
</h3><h3>Afternoon session</h3>
• Uncertainty creates indecision. Whatever you do -- even if you make a
mistake -- be decisive and believe in the choice you make. As a
quarterback becomes more comfortable with his receivers and more
familiar with the offense and his surroundings, things will start
happening faster. But the moment you start seeing a quarterback pat the
football, you know bad things are about to happen. DeVante Kincade (Dallas/Skyline) and Johnny Stanton (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif./Santa Margarita) did a nice job with decisiveness. Brice Ramsey (Kingsland, Ga./Camden County) held the ball a little too long and patted the ball a little too much.

Ole Miss commit Devante Kincade had a surprisingly strong arm and received rave reviews for his competitiveness.
</span><span class="storybody">Day three of the Elite 11
is always the first day the coaching staff releases their first set of
rankings. The rankings were based on both on field performance as well
as classroom chalk talk and film review.
The selections were not without some controversy as a few of the signal callers who looked strong on the field, namely Kevin Olsen and Shane Morris, were omitted from the list. Here’s a look at who the staff selected and ranked 1-11. </p>
1. Johnny Stanton</p>
2. Zack Greenlee</p>
3. Malik Zaire</p>
4. Jared Goff</p>
5. Devante Kincade</p>
6. Davis Webb</p>
7. Max Browne</p>
8. Luke Del Rio</p>
9. Christian Hackenberg</p>
10. Riley Ferguson</p>
11. Shane Cockerille</p>
<span class="storybody">Following Friday nights 7 on 7 session, here’s a
look at our updated top 11. Remember, these rankings are based on camp
performance, not college potential. Thursday's ranking is in
parentheses:</span></p>
<span class="storybody">7. (10) Devante Kincade - The most pleasant
surprise of the week, Kincade looks like a cornerback prospect, but his
thin frame generates an uncanny amount of velocity. His release is so
quick that at times the ball looks like it's coming out of his right
ear.</span></p>

<span class="storybody">Devante Kincade
brought up the rear of the foursome, and again, he wasn't bad, he just
wasn't as sharp as he's been through the week. He floated some long
passes too long and short-hopped an out route mixed in with several nice
throws up the seam.</span></p>
