ellitor 33,108 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hebron, KY (Conner) Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 210 2012 stats. 2072 pass yards, 22 pass TDs, 7 INTs. 1455 rush yards and 18 rushing TDs Auburn plans to go see him throw this spring and offer him then. He sees himself as an ideal fit for a Gus type offense and expects to play in a similar offense in college. #1 on my QB wish list. Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixie1860 27 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 He is good, though I would like to see him play against better competition. Reminds me of someone...can't put my finger on it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 E, I know it is a different person, but Dixie mentioned it as well. Should we be concerned about the competition this kid has in KY. I know our last QB recruit from KY did not work out, but a lot of personal stuff affected him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be a concern and a possible reason our coaches are going to see him throw in person before they offer. Weak competition or not look at most of his throws. They are pinpoint accurate to where you want the receiver catching the ball ideally on each play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altima 200 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 All I saw in the highlights was the big DH (Dixie Heights) in the middle of the field, and had to turn it off!!!!!!!!! I'm just kidding... The kid looks solid. Lets wait and see what Gus and the boys think when they see him throw in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corchjay 5,311 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Great looking arm. Can sling it a little with good mechanics. With that you'll see great accuracy which he shows in the video. I do agree with some of the other posters. The level of competition looks comparable to the 1A or possible 2A level here in Alabama. He looks big and strong but foot speed needs some work. He's not slow he's just no where near D-1 speed for a dual threat qb. Although his accuracy is much much higher then most high school dual threat qbs.

Spot on and something I forgot to mentions is according to many QBs refined accuracy like Barker already has is something that can't be coached to a great extent.

Dixie1860 27 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 E, I'm not saying he won't be good. He is accurate as has been pointed out. I just don't see him stiff-arming SEC defenders like he does these kids either. That was the knock on Johnny Football in HS as well. Small school. Weak competition. Not very big. Who's to say until they lay eyes on him I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUbritt 611 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Isn't this kid a lot bigger than Johnny F? Anyway, I got about a minute and a half into the first video, and he does look like he's worth going to see in person. And he does look like a natural for our offense.

corchjay 5,311 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Congrats to Ky. Looks like a solid QB. Although and I think I've mention in a post prior on some thread, I'd like to see a very good, strong armed, accurate QB in our offense. As I think in reality that the passing aspect of the QB far out weighs the running in our offense. Granted Cam could do both. Being able to throw the deep out, the skinny post, and the deep vertical passing is so important in our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know why we seem to have no interest in him? Given none of the big in state schools are on him that usually means big grade risk.
