Novak still doesn't have any offers. Another guy we should invite to walk on. Lots of upside with this kid.
What happened with this kid? I remember we were thinking this kid could be pretty darn good.
He is just not very good. He followed up a sub-par junior season with a poor senior season:
43% completions, 910 yards, 6 TDs, 7 INTs
If the size is correct on him he maybe worth a look as a walk-on with an eye towards playing TE/OT.

Interesting.
Makes you wonder if he conveyed that to the various coaches last year, and that's why it seemed like no one was recruiting him.
Don't think he conveyed that message at all. Just really got the shaft by his HS coaches and I think that really set him back. It is sad to see a kid that really wanted to play at the next level, not be interested after HS. Hope he gets the itch to play, because he has the skills and the smarts to play somewhere in the right system.
Might be,
Without the coaching at the HS level it is hard to adjust to the college level, if he was odd man out for a bad team that puts him further behind. For his sake it might make sense to give it a try someplace at a D2 level just to be able to go through life knowing that he gave it a shot. If he is able to contribute he can go out and have fun without all the pressure of major college ball. If he can't make it then at least he knows he gave it a shot and doesn't go through life wondering what could have been.
Seems like a good kid who may have gotten a bad deal. With his physical skills he could have very easily transfered to another high school with much more talent around him and a more successful coaching staff. Instead he stayed loyal to his teammates and ended up with a bad outcome.
Seen a ton of QB's in my day and he definitely can throw just as well as many of them. Unfortunately never got the chance last two years of his HS career to show that and it took away his passion for the game, hope it comes back.
Who is the coach at Heritage.... Griebel? Are you suggesting that he benched Ryan because he was afraid the passing records would be broken?
Ok - I find that hard to believe, but I wish Ryan good luck in his time at UNC. Maybe he will find his passion again.
yikes! Good luck! Have fun in college. Go to CU. srsly.Thanks for the good luck.
