PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I guess Eason signing pushed Hockman off his UGa commitment. Lefty. His dad is HC at McEachern High School which is just down the road from North Cobb High School where Tyler Queen played for his HC father. Would be awesome to get him if for no other reason the talent coming out of McEachern. Probably have 30 kids who could run 4.5 or better right now. I assume his size makes him a pro-style QB, because he currently plays in a read option spread. His RB from two seasons ago got serious playing time at Oregon this past fall. He isn't anywhere close to 210 pounds, probably much closer to 175. Interestingly, Butch Thompson has a pitcher committed from the same high school.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Too bad. Now we've now lost 4 top QB's (1 decommitted) and the other 3 dropped AU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'm not sure Hockman is a great fit for AU. He is not a DT QB. I know Gatewood is another year out, but I think he is a much better for for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANY coach, ANYWHERE, is better off if his QB can run but their main purpose is passing. That's as true for Auburn and Gus as it is anywhere else. At QB, the better passer wins the job every time. If he can run all the better but the running is secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can run all the better but the running is secondary. FWIW it has not been proven yet he can win big in the SEC w/ a pocket QB. Doing it at Tulsa & doing it in the SEC is entirely different. You can out scheme & athlete teams at the skill positions at Tulsa much easier than you can in the SEC. W/ Gus's fairly simple passing attack I don't know if he can win big w/ in the SEC a pocket QB who is not a serious run threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, that's all assuming that when Gus has a stable of really great receivers, like he might have this and even more so next year, that his passing attack stays simple.
