I wear scarves or Harbaugh?
Whichever one of you guys has an extra scrotum on his chin.
I f OU pulled that kid from NM a few years back, Ut/Meatchicken found a kid in NM, this kid would have a D1 offer if he was good enough. He went to camps, coaches saw him, that's that. The article acts like he is in Outer Mongolia and no one has access to an airplane.

Damn I have a scrotum chin too? Thanks for the good news. At least I'm not fat.
Production counts for nothing then?
Not really.
Not really. High school stats don't mean much when projecting to college, especially if it's not against top competition.
Hey, he posted this on Rivals too!
Zero
The two aren't mutually exclusive.
What?
Really? Zero? How does that equate? I'm not saying production is even a huge aspect of recruiting, but how can you say production at QB has zero weight in recruiting?
Hard to tell from recruiting video but looking at his hudl highlights one thing I noticed about his throws.
He anticipates well and looks to be very accurate even with his deep balls. The counter to that is that I didn't see much zip on his throws. Even the intermediate throws seemed to loop, he wasn't throwing darts out there.
In HS you can build huge statistics and be very successful as an accurate passer. At the D1 level the DBs are much quicker and more athletic, an open reciever in HS is an invitation to an INT at the high college level.
I wonder if the schools that have looked at him have simply decided that he has a D2 arm.

Shut up, BallWattle.
Pretty sure he is blueshirting at USC.

Panhandle but west I suppose.
Posters saying production equates to nothing are plain wrong. What recruiters look at is production/poise against various levels of competition. You need big games/big stats against the very best you play. Rolling bottom feeders does't account for much. That said, while he plays at the highest level of football in NM, that competition MIGHT be equal to lower level 4A here and Colorado competition is middle of the road nationally. He's a decent QB. Not sure why a crappy D1 does't give him a shot. He could certainly play at an FCS school. Weird.
You have to understand the context of those statements. A lot of kids put up big stats at the high school level. It is more of a red flag if a kid struggles than a big positive if a kid dominates. The measurables and how the coaches like the kid as a person become a lot more important once the board is being formed.
