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.

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...

Does this take us out of the race for the kid from Hueytown?

[autigeremt]

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.

...although I can very easily see him going to Michigan.

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.
