[QUOTE="Techster, post: 390052, member: 360"] Let me clarify something because another poster brought up this guy up and somehow people feel I'm making it out like he's a better football player than our guys. When I say "stud", that means he was a VERY good player on the HS level: Passed for over 3700 yards with 40TDs, ran for almost 500 yards and 6TDs as a Senior. That's ONE year. I don't care who you are, you put up those numbers in HS, you're a VERY good player for that level. He did that playing AAA ball in GA, which isn't the highest level, but a good level. If this kid was just 6' (which he's not even close...maybe 5'8-5'9) he would have more offers. I equate him to Tim Byerly...someone who put up amazing numbers in HS, but for various reasons wasn't recruited by big time programs. Like Tim, his only offers were from non-P5 programs. Tim turned out to be a pretty good player for us...even though he was just a 2 star recruit with small offers. Doesn't mean that this guy will have the same impact as Tim did here...different variables at play. UGA, afterall, is stacking the deck at QB. My only point was, teams like UGA have guys that have a talented skillset that better prepares them for other teams. We recruit guys with different skillsets at QB that other schools don't recruit for QB. Our QBs were not highly talented at passing the ball, though I believe Lucas Johnson would definitely be an outlier to that. There are more teams that run Spread passing offenses, and "pro" offenses...therefore they recruit more of those types of QBS....which means they have the personnel on the depth chart that helps them to that end. It works the other way as well...other teams probably don't get a good look when they have to play us because no one runs our offense like our QBs do. This doesn't just apply to QBs, but skill players and linemen as well. (And defensive players on the other side) GT just recruits differently on that side of the ball. Most are in agreement that the better the scout team player, the better preparation it provides our 1st team. That's all I'm saying. [/QUOTE]
