A&M has a QB commit. Henderson appears set to stick ... for now

Thanks! All kinds of intrigue here

- can UH fend off competition

- will Aggies (and their bragging rights obsessed fans) live it down if Casuga doesn't outperform a Houston product? Even if he is the right fit on the field, can they stomach Dia and Keisean on the '27 Dave Campbell cover?

- on the other hand, kudos to A&M for attracting a product of a QB factory and sticking with him, if he pans out!

Is there a list of prior Elite 11 MVPs?  I would be curious how Elite 11 accolades translate to the field.

I'm not a big Elite 11 guy ... because it's an on air QB competition. And making plays under duress is what matters most as a QB, and you just can't replicate it. 

 

Recent winners (it's hit or miss to a certain extent) 

2024 - Keelon Russell - Alabama 

2023 - Julian Sayin - Ohio State 

2022 - Jackson Arnold - OU/Auburn 

2021 - Cade Klubnik - Clemson 

2020 - Caleb Williams 

2019 - CJ Stroud

2018 - Spencer Rattler 

2017 - Justin Fields

2016 - Tua Tagovailoa

2015 - Shea Patterson - no NFL

2014 - Blake Barnett - no NFL

2013 - Sean White - no NFL

Since 2016 that seems really good. Rattler is probably the worst and even he showed some great stuff at one point. We’ll see on Jackson Arnold

This doesn’t make me any more excited…because I was already a 10/10 on my excitement meter for Mr Dia Bell! I think he is as talented as Arch! The program is in great hands. 
 

All the consternation about losing a few recruits lately and I shrug and think “we nailed our QB eval and have the best QB prospect in the nation committed. That’s a heck of a floor”

Hey @Gerry Hamilton will this likely improve his 247 ranking? They have him as the #5 QB in the class.

Vs all the paralysis by analysis guys that ranked 2-3 other QB’s ahead of Arch Manning for dumb reasons 

They had Jackson Arnold in front of Arch.

I haven't looked at his position rankings, so can't say for sure! 

I'm guessing yes, however.

Great manly stuff. Raja Bell v Kobe Bryant 2006. 

 

Watched an interview with Chris Beard on an Ole Miss site yesterday. They asked him why he emphasizes the mid range game rather than making his players shoot nothing but "analytical" threes and lay-ups. He said the two greatest players of all time, MJ and Kobe, were greatest in the mid range. 

Which takes me to nonsense talk. MJ and Kobe were skilled enough to score anywhere on the court from twenty-five feet and in. Brick gotta be within five or beyond twenty. Why? He lacks skill. Power, explosive, size. Not skill. 

Remember watching The Good, the Bad and the Ugly with my dad around 1984 when I was twelve. We watched every week because it came on every week then. Dad loved Clint. So he'd stay up on Friday night to watch it with me because I asked him to watch it with me. Father served three tours in Vietnam. Reminded me of Rocky stuff then.

Phil Jackson said that if Kobe could have palmed the ball, he would have been better than MJ because he was more skilled.
