Concerning he didnt start at QB. I get that the guy in front of him is going to CAL. My concern is the experience and reps he needs to get to handle situations in-game. He's not getting those. You can do drills all you want, but doing it live under pressure is a whole different story
That's when it's on the coaches to trust their evaluations of what he HAS put out on film and what the see in shorts and a T-Shirt.
We aren't going to be asking this kid to come in here and start from Day 1. Our QB depth is in position to absorb a guy that we think may have some upside, but may be a bit of a risk.
The good things about him, outweigh the bad I think. Irrespective of the competition, the kid is obviously an athlete, which helps with the repitition of your delivery, helps with keeping your footwork solid and he exhibits a good high release. Nothing mechanically wrong with him, throws a nice ball, and happens to have some zip.
And last but not least, this staff doesn't take shots in the dark. All the guys who haven't necessarily been on the national radar that we have recruited, suddenly gain some reputation when they get the UM offer, and there's something to be said for that. Happened with Bond and Figueroa in just the last 3 weeks. I'm sure Fisch knows this kid inside and out and with Fisch's pedigree, that's more than good enough confirmation for me
