Some Interesting info on Jake Fromm's recruit or lack of

[Calinative]

Richt focused on Sitkowski. We were just very fortunate that by the time the staff accepted that he was a mistake, Williams was still available.

Can you imagine if Sitk had a just good enough season? I fear he'd still be our lone QB commit. I know it's kind of silly to play that hypothetical game but Richt's evaluation of QBs is puzzling.

How is it puzzling? Kids flashed a little talent. Richt wasn’t the only coach/scout who thought the kid might be good. As soon as it became edvident that the kid isn’t good he was dropped like a bad habit. That might be even more impressive for a coach to admit he was wrong in his assessment go in a different direction.

Josh Allen is about to get drafted in the 1st round, and rumors have it the Browns might be targeting him at #1 .

Anyone that complains about a QB evaluation when the qb has prototypical size/strength/athleticism/arm strength/etc is trippin. This **** happens in the NFL on a yearly basis, otherwise guys like Jamarcus Russell, Hackenberg, etc wouldn't get drafted within the top 4 rounds. QB evaluations are the hardest position to evaluate and it isn't close.

So people that act like Richts early evaluation of Sitkowki was horrible, are honestly crazy. Because dude has the talent to be a great QB, and clearly Richt was hoping/expecting him to improve at IMG for his senior season. That didn't happen so we cut bait, and got someone better. I don't see any problem with what happened this yr with QB Recruiting.

Crazy?

The eval WAS a bad eval. Fortunately Richt himself came to the same conclusion, albeit relatively late in the cycle. Also fortunately, Williams was available amd wanted in.

The idiotic view is that Sit was not a bad eval just because some other tall kid succeeded some other time. There’s literally zero logic in that statement.

The logic is that Artur Sitkowski has a load of potential, more than most qbs in This class.
He has better size than almost any QB in this class. Dude looks like ******* Andrew Luck out on the field.
He also has the arm talent. He has a good arm, and had a solid release, and in the camp setting leading up to his senior year at IMG, he showed good accuracy and great zip on the ball.
So is it really crazy that a coach would see Sitkowski and not fall in love with his potential? Even if he thinks he's Gunna be a 2-3 yr project (with Perry on the team who clearly Richt planned on being the starter).
I mean Imo, I actually like the fact that Richt realized the miseval (after giving Sitkowski the chance to prove himself in his senior season) and was able to get an top qb so quickly after moving on. To me that's a great job recruiting

 

[AUcane]

For as much “talent” that he has, he **** the bed his whole playing career thus far. THAT is more telling than his measurables.

 

[Tony Perps]

Lol at defending the eval on sit. The initial one was fine - the issue was the continued commitment to the kid after having horrible numbers on the field and even talking **** about our team. Besides, I’d argue that even the initial eval was suspect given that poor HS stats almost NEVER translates to success in college. That should have been a warning sign from sit’s junior year but the Richts thought they were smarter than everyone else about it. We are lucky to have Williams imo.

Yep. I’ve yet to see any HS QB who wasn’t good in HS succeed in college. It’s why I didn’t think Allison would ever do anything here. Kid sucked in HS, but he’s going to come to Miami and play well? Yeah, okay.

 

[simplycanes]

Yea. Sometimes college coaches, and even professional GM’s get so enamored with measurables, that they tend to overlook certain things. A lot of times, they overlook whether the kid can really play. Sometimes they tend to think that they alone can unlock the potential of a certain kid. That they, in this case, can be the QB whisperer. No matter what the HS coaching staff says, by benching him. No matter that his stats said, that he’s awful. Good for us they re-evaluated their evaluation and got this thing right. All the measurables in the world don’t mean ****, if u can’t play.

Yep, the Richts would have benefited from an advanced metrics guy like [MENTION=5374]HurricaneVision[/MENTION][/QUOTE [MENTION=5374]HurricaneVision[/MENTION] is followed by several staffers. Hmmmm.... 10th assistant?

Talking about his 'potential' is nothing more than an excuse to explain why Richt talked himself into taking a commitment from a kid who clearly sucked at playing QB. LOL @ looks liken andrew Luck. Plays like gray crow.

And what if he actually improved during his senior year at IMG? You're acting like that was completely impossibly or something. Obviously his Junior year performance in New Jersey was a concern. But if he stepped it up during his senior year, then his potential would have been more than worthy to take the chance on. Taking his committment wasn't a bad move. Going with him and sticking with him no matter what would have been the bad move. Instead we dumped him and got someone that looks pretty good. I don't really get your guys' problem with the fact that we took a chance on him, and dropped him once it became clear he wasn't good.

His clipboard holding and his relaying of plays to a walk on who took his place became almost legendary.

 

[JHallCanes]

Pretty sure the guy that out-recruited Dabo for Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley during the same cycle doesn’t lack confidence.

Might not always make great decisions, but confidence isn’t the problem. Overconfidence (that Maryland bum last year) maybe.

You serious man?

What if?

You could say that about any and every missed evaluation.

There is a reason coaches get paid a lot. It’s not explained by ‘what if.’

Saying I’m acting like it was ‘completely impossible’ that he would have improved his senior year is truly the dumbest thing ever written on this board. We take one QB. You don’t justify taking a kid because it’s possible he’ll improve his senior year. In any case, the discussion isn’t about whether he could improve. All kids can improve. I never said he couldn’t improve. I said he was a blown eval.

You’re just dug in trying to make excuses for a blown eval that you yourself admit was a blown eval.

Are you dense dude.
He got a Qb that has elite potential and was killing it in the camp circuit.
Then the Qb played like ******* *** his senior season.
Then he got dropped, and we got a stud to take his place.

What the **** is the problem with that. Richt was able to identify the TALENT that Sitkowski had early on in the process, and went after him because of that. When he showed he wasn't good, he was dropped. I really just don't get what the **** you idiots want.

Sorry, that QB didn’t just suck *** as a SR. He sucked *** as a JR, too. In fact, he’s never done anything other than suck ***. And plenty of folks who watched his camp tape pointed out it looked awkward, and wasn’t great, and it was just camp, in any case.

The only person who sounds dense here is you. Everyone seems to get that it was a bad eval by Richt to take his commitment. Richt himself understands and you yourself acknowledge it.

So what is your point? You have none, honestly. You’re flailing around like a drink Mickey Rourke from Barfly, trying to contend that despite this having been a bad eval from Richt, it was still somehow a sensible decison because ... potato.

You don’t need to get sand in your underwear fighting to Capt Saveahoe Richt. No one cares. No one is even discussing the topic you are gurgling about. We all realize Sit was a bad eval. Period. EOS. Res ipsa loquiter. Q.E.D.

You are apparently incensed over a bunch of things you imagine people think that aren’t even being discussed. Sit was a bad eval. Richt knows it. We all know it. Move on.

 

[CMR is my Dawg]

Richt missed out on quite a few in-state studs, more as he got further away from 2012, which was very disheartening to UGA fans as other SEC teams & FSU/Clemson would cherry-pick the state.

LoL - he did literally miss out on QB Cam Newton (pretty sure he recruited him as a TE), DeShaun Watson and a host of guys that were bought by SEC bag-men like Robert Nkemdiche (sp) while still picking up a good number of talented players.

I am not obsessed with linking Richt's past failures to his current tenure. I will not be blind to his faults, but I am encouraged by the direction of the program and appreciate his genuine care for these young men

Take it from a bulldog fan from birth who has now seen more games played by the U than my alma mater twice over because CMR is the type of coach and runs the type of program that you can not only cheer for enthusiastically but proudly because he does it the right way.

With that being said you should go back and see what was occurring within the athletic association around the timeframe that you referenced. You had the AD essentially pushing him into basically a bobby bowden type figurehead role thereby leaving most of the evals to the coordinators and position coaches. Not to say that he didn't trust or have some sort of input but the whole watson debacle was 100% on bobo who was adamant that he come throw for him in order to earn that offer, and we all know just how that turned out. Probably why other georgia player alums have bigger head coaching positions and he is sitting out there in colorado. In addition to these things CMR and staff were recruiting against these supposed giants with an arm and a leg tied behind their back so to speak due to the administration not providing for him like they are the new coach (whom i despise and thus why I and my toddler son now watch CMR in Miami and cheer on the Canes).

Support = success and I am so glad to see him getting just that from Miami.

 

[CMR is my Dawg]

Not totally clear on who lead the charge with QB recruiting at UGA. Lots of conflicting info on the Deshaun Watson (huge) miss and it makes me wonder who was leading the charge in the QB recruiting during Richt's last year.

It was 100% bobo. He was requiring watson to come throw for him in order to earn that offer. Didn't happen he went elsewhere and everyone was blaming CMR when it was bobo and his insane demand of such a talent.

I'd still like to know why Richt had no interest in Justin Fields. Thatvones a mystery to me.

mind-boggling really.

Richt focused on Sitkowski. We were just very fortunate that by the time the staff accepted that he was a mistake, Williams was still available.

Can you imagine if Sitk had a just good enough season? I fear he'd still be our lone QB commit. I know it's kind of silly to play that hypothetical game but Richt's evaluation of QBs is puzzling.

It's ultimately not cmr who's running the qb room. This is my one criticism considering his experience and track record. He's letting jon handle all evaluations and recruitments. There's no way of knowing exactly how much he interacts with him on what matters. However knowing him id imagine it's exactly what I've seen & that's he only gets involved in a support function. Good probability it was three same way at uga although that's simply a guess. Personally I'm baffled by the people who think fromm as a qb prospect is superior to Eason. I dont think its even close.

He did this same thing at georgia partly due to pressure from the administration to turn over those type of duties to coordinators and position coaches but also I believe to partly allow his coordinator/qb coach at the time to grow. With the departure of bobo he even requested to take back over the qb/oc part but was denied and thus why he ended up with the Schottenheimer disaster because the ad wanted a big name oc hire.

this from Fromm's dad

So why didn’t Fromm just commit to Georgia in the first place?

Well, because he didn’t have an offer from Mark Richt and the previous Bulldogs staff. Fromm, the No. 44 overall player and the No. 3 overall pro-style passer in the 2017 cycle per the 247Sports Composite, never drew a ton of interest from his home state school.

“Richt just didn’t want him,” Emerson Fromm said. “It’s just that simple. They had another fellow in mind (Bailey Hockman) and that’s the direction they wanted to go. That was an eye-opener for Jake in life. Sometimes, you just don’t get what you want. You just have to make the best of what you got.”

As for why that was, Emerson can only speculate.

Fromm was a record-setting passer at Warner Robins High School. But the Bulldogs had landed five-star passer Jacob Eason the year before. To Emerson, who rooted for Richt throughout his tenure at Georgia, it meant the Bulldogs didn’t want to risk going after a second highly-touted passer in two years.

“I’ll be honest with you,” he said. “I don’t think they were confident recruiters. If they had a five-star ahead of you, the odds are the following year it’d be a three-star and it’d go back and forth. I don’t think they had the confidence. Their mindset was, there’s no way that we’re getting back-to-back-to-back five-stars and they just didn’t think they could get (Jake).

“At the end of the day, who knows? Maybe they just thought the other guy was better? I think they were wrong. But, at the same time, that’s my opinion. But it looks to me they were pretty obviously wrong.”

the rest of the article is pretty interesting as well as he goes into detail how Saban recruits and how Smart is doing what he's doing at UGA.

I'm more interested in hearing how Satan recruits and how Smart is now employing the same tactics...that info is solid gold, that's what we need to do...whatever the fûck Satan is doing.

I hear Momma Fromm says Ol' Emerson Fromm lacks "confidence" too and has to take a little blue pill to compensate.

Get Rick's name out of your mouth, toughguy. Live it up now because as much as the SEC is based on myth, Bama actually will play defense against your little boy- something Oklahoma didn't.
