Looks like he's next in line to get a QB offer from Lashlee. Not many realistic options left from this QB class, so we will eventually have to lock in on a target
Arm strength is overrated in my opinion. We have a huge list of a big arm QBs who have failed here. Accuracy, Pocket presence and QB IQ are the most important things in my opinion. Peery has a good enough arm to make all the throws.He’s a talented kid but I’m not a fan of taking bigger QBs when they don’t have an arm that make you go “dang that’s a pretty good arm”. TVD was a pitcher and pitchers don’t do any heavy lifting because you don’t want them stiff but I can’t find anything that says Chayden plays baseball or basketball. If we get him then I don’t expect anything more than a above average arm.
Morris comes to mind when you mentioned big arm QB's. He had an arm and a half but was so inconsistent and never took heat off his short throws.Arm strength is overrated in my opinion.

Yeah but overall he was a solid QB for us. Jaccory Harris and Nkosi Perry are probably the biggest examples. Fortunately for us it looks like Lashlee is Targeting QBs who are more accurate and have the ability to extend plays in the pocket. It's a bit of a down year with our QB options but im sure we will find someone. I'm hoping we just make a run at JT Daniels instead of signing a QB. He has to sit a year anyways, so he could be our starter for a year or two after King leaves. TVD can then take over for him as a Redshirt Sophomore or Junior with 2-3 years of eligibility.Morris comes to mind when you mentioned big arm QB's.

He was and unfortunately his senior year was hindered because of that achilles injury suffered against Savannah State. Yea I think getting a portal qb might be our best option since they could sit for a year and learn the system then compete with Van Dyke in 2021.Yeah but overall he was a solid QB for us.

Well Milroe is probably Texas or Alabama and Davis is all Auburn. Not sure of Lashlee interest in Braxton either. What do you think of Kai Horton?6'2 210lbs 4-star out of Chatsworth CA, goes to Sierra Canyon (same school as 2021 4-star CB DJ Harvey)
Had a very good Junior season with 3,401yds 24TD's & 1INT.
Has a good enough arm, gets the ball out on time, displays very good accuracy & delivers the ball with velocity into tight Windows. The throw @:48 on his tape was nice. Has bit of wind up & his release could be sped up but otherwise shows very good ability to make every throw hitting every part of the field & is an upper body thrower. Is a pure pocket passer, not much mobility, can climb the pocket & locate the open man, but not much of scrambler or runner by any standard. He fits the mold of classic Southern Cali QB, high productivity, plays well from a pristine pocket, not much adversity.
Sierra Canyon is school that's known for some pretty famous people attending, a lot of celebs kids went there. Marvin Bagley III from Duke went to Sierra Canyon as well, but Chatsworth is near Northridge, Tarzana, Hidden Hills, Calabasas etc.. It's a fairly upper middle class/wealthy area.
IMO is a more of a last resort take if we can't get Milore, Davis or Braxton.
He's primailry being recruited by Louisville & Boise St, he reminds me of Chase Garbers, accurate Southern Cali QB with an above average arm.
Don't really see an immediate starter with this kid though, more of a redshirt & develop guy.

Also not being able to get a kid to visit due to covid is tough.The offer is coming. I just have no confidence in getting a top tier QB without any progress on O. Lashlee has been great so far but he's got a real hard sell
Yea lol that’s also not helping his cause.Also not being able to get a kid to visit due to covid is tough.
Agreed.
I just read a recruiting update that we're not all that interested in Taulia, which I agree with, I guess I'm in the minority on that but I don't think he's a very good QB at all.
And people underestimate our chances with Davis & Milroe, yes Davis is a heavy Auburn lean & will probably commit to them at some time, but he also said himself he's going to take all his OV's before he makes a final decision & Miami will definitely get an OV from Davis.
Also as I posted literally months ago in the Milroe thread, Milroe is super close with the King family, D'Eriq's dad coached Jalen in 7v7 ball when he was coming up & Jalen, D'Eriq & his brother are all very good friends. Plus Lashlee has known Jalen since he was a Freshman.
Both Bama & Miami will be putting heavy pressure on Milroe throughout the year, if we win while King is putting up big numbers we'll have a shot to flip him.
And there's always a possibility we can throw our hat in the ring for a number of kids we haven't offered yet, once visits are allowed again later this year we'll have more options than people realize.
Everyone thinks we need to push the button ASAP & get a QB right now, but best believe we'll be able to get who we want if we win 10+ & King is killing it this year. Lashlee has pedigree, we won't have to settle for a QB we're not crazy about like people might expect.
