Matocha Commits

[Pentagon Cane]

Here's a bit of an interview he did after Enos was there last week:


“The last 72 hours have been pretty intense,” Matocha said. “Honestly, I’m a competitor. As soon as I get to campus, obviously, I’m going to fight for the job. But I’m choosing a college most importantly because I want to get the best degree I can possible. Miami is a very prestigious university. That’s the most important thing to me. Obviously, football, coach Enos has a great track record of developing QBs. I’m about 6-3 ½, 190 pounds. Once I get to the 6-4, 220 range, I’m going to need the right guy to help me reach how far I can go, and I know Coach Enos is that guy.

“I know I have to develop a little bit. But as soon as I get there I’m going to fight for the job. And I’m either going to have it or I’m going to make the guy who does have it a lot better. That’s kind of the mindset I have.”

At St. Thomas, where he was a four-year starter, Matocha said he played in a variety of offenses.
“I had four different offensive coordinators my four years of high school,” he said. “I went from a heavy pro-style running offense my freshman year to a full-scale Air Raid offense that barely ran the ball. Then, we moved to more of a West Coast theme. I’ve pretty much had to learn it all. I’ve done everything.

“The one thing I’d say I love about Enos’ offense is how diverse it is. When he was at Alabama and had all those receivers around him, he did do a lot of RPOs (run-pass-options) and had a balanced run game. His system just kind of adjusts to whatever quarterback he has and what his strengths are. That’s what’s obviously most important.”


This is why Enos likes him. The kid can do ALOT.

Terrific interview. This kid has a great attitude. Knows he needs to put on weight and needs to be developed and coached. Sounds like the kids will work hard. He has high jumped 6'9" so he is certainly an explosive athletic. Will make the quarterback room better.

You can’t go wrong with a quarterback named Peyton!

 

[Ethnicsands]

Mahomes was a 3 star from Texas with only 3 offers... Texas tech, Oklahoma state and Rice

So youre saying we got the next mahomes?

 

[reg]

Doubt he ever plays here tbh especially if we land a premier QB like Beck next year.

Whether he plays here or not, is irrelevant in my opinion. He up's the talent in the QB room, which ultimately will improve QB play by way of competition. When Rosier and Sherrifs are the ones pushing your top QB, how much better can you expect the starting QB to get?

Regardless of who comes out on top as QB 1, we now have some great talent in the room to improve overall QB performance. Iron sharpens iron!

 

[gatorsSUCK!]

Welcome to The U Reminds me of a Dorsey that can run and high jump 6’9. I’m curious to see how good he can be in a few years. Seems to have an A+ attitude also. Glad he’s one of us

 

[20EReedboii]

I'm a huge fan of this kid, he looks like he has the instincts and the know-how. I love his improvisation and his decision making plus he seems like a decent enough athlete, too. He lacks zip on some throws, but I think it'll be just fine when he polishes his mechanics and hits the weight room a little bit. I think we are going to hear plenty of good things about Matocha until one day he steals the starting job.

 

[20EReedboii]

Btw is Matocha prounounced like a "cha" or "ka"?

So youre saying we got the next mahomes?

We can only hope

I luv seeing all the praise coach enos is getting for this new qb commit, alot of the same people praising coach enos would've been trying to crucify coach richt and his son had they got the same "3 star" to commit. This mob is definitely fickle and comical, lol. The pitch fork committee would've been out in full force trying to tell all who would listen to their non-football I.Q. non-sense how going after a 3 star qb from texas, that texas a&m wanted as a walk-on, would've been an indicator that coach richt was scraping at the bottom of the barrel.

L.M.A.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O..........

WHOOOOOOO WHEEEEEEEE

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

WOW.

Richt quit. He did NOT bother recruit ANY QBs. And here you are criticizing fans who are excited about having a promising QB recruit because *you say* those same fans would have criticized Trainwricht for that same recruit?

I hope you’re insane, because the alternative is you’re Jon Richt and can’t move on from this board.

In any case, :ibisrofl:

 

[JHallCanes]

Honestly, Richt was a guy who viewed the role of coach as some form of commitment to the guys he recruited rather than the team as a whole or the institution. He was going to get what he could out of Perry, Weldon and Williams. But he quite obviously did not go all out, or even half out, to scour around and find guys to add to the equation. He tried for the kid on the west coast, then packed it in.

I think there was a philosophy amd integrity of sorts to Richt’s view, but it was not how you build or coach a top level team. Maybe when you get lucky with a few guys, but where was the urgency? Roster not full? Oh well. Next year.

Manny and Enos bring an entirely different mentality. Their commitment is to winning, and that means getting guys who can shake it up and add competition, and if people are uncomfortable with that, oh well. It’s a commitment to the program ahead of any specific kids.

Richt would hve been better and imo happier at a DII school. Coach the guys you got but don’t have to stress about the guys you don’t got.

This is good stuff brother.

And when Richt was hired I think most of us thought “well it’s not Golden, but Richt isn’t going to be a guy to reinvent the wheel”

Manny walked in and is doing exactly what had to be done. Blow it up. Bring in everyone you can and may the strong survive...players and coaches

Might be a bit dramatic on my part but it was the only solution to break this cycle we’ve been in. Not sure if ultimately works, but it’s what needs done.

 

[Calvin]

Very good to get a kid who Enos instantly wanted and knows can run his offense to a tee. Insane he didn't have another offer and even more that Baby Richt wasn't interested but whatever happy he's ours

ROFL, so i take it from the looks of your post, Matocha ran the same offense in highschool that coach enos is going to run here, man this should be a seamless transition. Im glad you post over here, keep giving us the great insight that we would not have known prior to reading your post!

 

[JHallCanes]

He’s from Texas. Kid probably watched more game film by the time he was potty trained than Perry did until he got here.

I think Metocha is perfectly fine for a stash away qb especially after we just got martell. Metocha has a really nice skill set and you would be surprised how good he is. Has very intriguing film to say the least. Check @Roman Marciante twitter feed tonight about him it’s fantastic

If Wolfgang Puck recommends an "under the radar" restaurant, it will carry more weight than a recommendation coming from the shift manager at Burger King!

On his highlights that throw at about 1:16 is pretty impressive

 

[TheU 4ever]

Weldon is probably done. Perry maybe one more year barring he doesn’t get into trouble. I highly doubt that tho.

Spring Practice will be a difference maker! We'll see how that shakes out, as well as how Tate M's application goes with the NCAA.

 

[HSFC]

If Enos can develop as well as his rep proceeds him then this kind of kid can pay huge dividends in a couple years once Tate, J Will, or even both have played.

Who are other Qbs developed by Enos?

 

[gogeta4]

How in tf did a coach that’s supposed to be all about QBs fck up our QB room in 3 yrs, but a defensive guy has resurrected it in less than 1 month??! Lol. The irony and finally it’s in our favor!

This is why he was fired at UGA. Dude has UVA's back up qb as a starter there...h ebeen swinging and missing at Qb for some years....the game just passed him by

I hope you read this and understand ao you'll better yourself in the near future..... You are corny so try again
