This would be a huge early pick up if he commits to us Wednesday...

Five-star quarterback Zeke Pike has made his choice, and is ready to announce his decision.

"Zeke has decided to commit now," his father Mark Pike said. "He will make his announcement this Wednesday at 2:15pm at Dixie Heights High School in the auditorium."

Pike has excellent size, but he is not a statue. He can move and throw on the run very well. He has the arm to make all the throws and easily gets the ball down field. Having only started one season, he just needs to gain experience and improve on some of the little things like going through progressions and making quick reads. From a physical standpoint, he has it all and he's a hard worker who has put the time in towards getting better.

We don’t need a T-shirt from Wal Mart boasting about things that never were to boost our ego. We don’t use our battle cry as a taunt to prop up our self-esteem. Our sense of worth isn’t determined by the number of stickers and flags we can put on our car." - Never To Yield Foundation

This has got to be good news.  I'd be curious on meta's or some one who follows recruiting closely thoughts.  Clearly, Pike was towards the top of our QB board.  I assume we'll only take one this year, sounds like he's jumping on it...

That kid right there knows how to throw the rock! My goodness he looks like a natural fit in the GM scheme.

I posted in the other thread that it looks like he is Auburn bound.

How would you rank him - do you think he's No. 1 on our board?  Is he comparable to a Jeff Driskel?

This is dumb. I just wanted to say that.

On topic, this guy is a monster. He is a passer and a runner. We did well with our last guy who could do both.
