I predict it will be Willis for 2019 and 2020 seasons then Nix after that. My big prediction: Gatewood either transfers or changes to TE. Jeff can pin this and use it against me in 2 years from now. If he transfers out, I’d be emotionally devastated. 3 minutes ago, ellitor said: Man. The way Joey has progressed as a QB in the limited snaps he's had I'm right there w/ @aujeff11. I don't see him moving. You’re a good man....for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of curiosity, @ellitor: Which coach was his main recruiter? Ha, he was already in the family. From day 1 that boys been a Tiger. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the time nor the place though, I get it. We just got a stud at QB! I was curious, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to give it a few days of celebration first on this commitment before seeing if that happens. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 As for Bo, he shows some promise. I think if you watch how the ball spins, there is a lot of work to be done. also he holds his chin a little low on the intermediate passes. I hope he can fix those bad habits next year or he may not get a commit-able offer. This could be a disaster..... Bwahahahahahhahaa. It was just fun reading that. Seriously, have we ever had a QB with this kind of hype coming out of HS? Not sure Jason Campbell had this kind of upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Boooom!! 2019 Big Stud WR, Stud QB, now time to look for top DT I don’t think it’s bad timing with a few elite WRs visiting soon for 2018 either 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 AS good as Stidham throws the ball, i like Bo more. I think the instinct and pocket awareness are his strengths. we haven't had that since Cam. actually only Cam. He will be good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 6,569 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I "believe" Stidham is going to improve enough to help us win games and get him paid by the end of 2018. Willis and Gatewood will be battling out to replace him with Nix getting a red shirt while getting physically ready to compete in 2020/21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kd4au 1,145 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I knew all along that it would take a giant screw up to not get Bo. Glad he finally committed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason Jason did not have this kind of hype is because the social media world was not what it is now even if it existed yet. Jason was a 5* & got a lot of hype in his own right. This place would be going crazy if we got Jason in 2018. Edited January 10, 2018 by ellitor 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmartin3228 117 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Boom so pumped !!!!! I know its tough cause you comparing high school to college on film.

That's why I consider Bo an athletic Pocket QB instead of a true dual QB. FWIW 247 is looking to make that change on him soon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo better underneath and better mechanics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like I just read the scouting report guys are paying for on 247, Scout, & Rivals. We are blessed to have you. In case people are wondering there is no sarcasm there & it's a true compliment to Jay. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmartin3228 117 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 arm strength comment is a projection or as of now? Still has time to gain more? Anyways thanks for that for the report Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Welcome, Mr Nix! Great news for us. I feel like Bo will take a leadership position in recruiting this class. To have one if not the best QB in the class committed to AU already should help. No telling what happens down the road but I would say we are pretty well stocked at QB right now!

I imagine lots of kids want to play with Nix. Think about all the players that Nix has camped with over the years - probably has developed strong relationships with a lot of really good players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways thanks for that for the report Generally speaking very little velocity improvement will be made from 18 year old plus. For baseball players you can expect 1 mph increase per year until about age 24. I don’t have a lot of information for football velocity but would think getting stronger would help but deep throws aren’t about arm strength it’s about reading defenses and timing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways thanks for that for the report Bo and Pat themselves have said it's an issue, more on the lower body & core to get stronger to increase his arm drive.
