[CatFan22]

Inspired by the Rodney Landers thread.

Nothing overly impressive in McGehee's vid. None of his passes were into coverage and he slid a lot to avoid contact. This guy also is 5'10 tops.

Seems like a good 5A get from TX though. *edit* I just went back and read about this kid's high school. His team was ranked #1 in the country by Rivals in 2008 and he QB'd them to the TX 5A championship in 2007. 28-2 record as a starter. What the heck is this guy doing playing for MSU?

Did anyone else try to recruit this kid? Is he a non-qually? Legal issues? What gives?

According to Scout.com nobody was recruiting him.

When he wins the National Championship as a freshman with 0 FCS loses, we'll talk.

Well, I guess if he does it in his junior year after winning two national championships, losing only to two FCS teams that were ranked either 2 (JMU) or winning the national championship (Richmond), while he needed surgery, then he can have a pass....

The kid will get a chance to compete for the QB position this fall per Coach Ash. However, I am hoping that he will redshirt and take over next year. As for the Edwards comparison, I am just hoping he is the first Denarius McGhee.

I think Jamal Jackson who App picked up this year will be great. If anyone has a rivals subscription to watch his highlights you'll see why.

if not him then one of the other 6 or 7 qbs app picked to be just like armanti.


app might not be big or diversified in its recruiting but damn are we going to be fast.

its looks like we just went out and picked up a track team

[bpcats]

I think that we would settle for a quarterback that completes most of his passes, is smart with the football and doesn't turn the ball over. If McGhee could do that, then MSU would be really happy.

Last year we ranked in the top 3 in the conference in total defense and rushing. However we were dead last in the passing game and were averaging 3-4 turnovers a game and still finished with a winning record. Any improvement at the qb position would be nice.

kudos to MSU for figuring out there is an abundance of talent in the state of TX.
MSU needs QB help
I like the way he plays, but he will have to put on weight in order to effectively use his speed in the BSC
(Lulay, Kriesien, Berquist, etc...) all BSC who had size and speed

[already123]

actually, on second look this guy isnt as good as I originally thought. You're probably better off using his as an athlete
Good luck though...

I can't wait to look at this thread in 4 years. :)

Or 5xnodx. I know he's got talent and will get a shot, but there's a lot of talent with DI experience ahead of him plus a couple QB's that have been with the system a year, so unless he flat blows them out of the water I hope he gets a redshirt year.

Oh, I hope he does too. I think every player will more than likely benefit from a redshirt year. I think he will start for us sooner rather than later.

Hopefully the next armanti is either Deandre Presley or one of the 6 QB/ATH that we signed in this class. They are going to have to be able to run and we may need several of them if we have any injuries on the offensive line this year or next.
