UF beats out Houston Baptist to land High School backup QB

[MJMGator]

Oh, I will this weekend. Just won't type in a credit card on a phone.

I have plenty of profit left over from my like selling venture.

:thumbsup:

I think you are confused, we are not talking about all preacher's sons, only the ones who played QB at Florida. Perhaps you never took an applied logic class at UF. Let me help you with this illustration:

"Everyone who is anyone attended the gala charity ball.
I did not attend.
Therefore I am nobody.

Applying the logic thusly to our QB recruit and we have:

"Every QB who was a preacher's son a Florida won a Heisman trophy.
Kyle Trask is a preacher's son.
Therefore Kyle Trask will win a Heisman Trophy."

Hope that helps.

Makes perfect sense to me!

It's not like we paid a huge buy out for this guy. Why are some of your expectations so low?

They might be low, but they are also realistic. Mac was given sh*t and is going to need more than one year to turn it into gold.

How is this? This is all Gator Lore 101. Spurrier brought it up about Wuerfell and himself on a regular basis, including before the 1996 National Title game about how he was old testament and Danny was New testament. The media couldn't stop talking about how Tebow was a preacher son, that was 50% of the narrative.

Without the players it won't matter how good a coach he is...that's realistic too

 

[GatorJ]

He didn't close crap in '15. Those 5 star kids were coming to UF no matter what. He lost Cowart.

ridiculous post is ridiculous

This Trask kid looks like the real deal and I can't wait to see him in a Gator uniform, throwing darts for touchdowns.

(thanks to all that posted his video)

His height is such an advantage!

Coach Nuss and Mac have done a great job at finding talent that fits their position's measurables.

Without results of wins & losses I'm going to assume that they know how to judge talent and get them coached up.

Great job Foley!!

We start winning this season, and we will get better caliber players.

BTW can anyone even confirm the rumor that Trask is the son of a preacher? I've looked all over the internet and can find nothing. The picture I found of a "Pastor Trask" might not even be his father. Indeed, if you compare the two photos of "Kyle" they seem to not look anything like each other:

Provancha, bro. He will play as much as Provancha.

Is signing a 2-star qb a good move for Florida

link has some of the same videos shown earlier in the thread.

First off, let’s get the notion that the star rating system actually determines a player’s skill level out of our heads. That system can give you an idea of what to expect out of a player, but it’s never 100% correct. For instance, arguably the best defensive player in the NFL, J.J. Watt, was only rated a 2-star recruit when he originally signed with Central Michigan.
...
At first glance, there’s no special skill that pops out at you. However, leading an offense doesn’t necessarily demand the strongest of arms or the quickest feet. It instead requires an ability to move the ball, and that appears to be something that Trask can do quite well.

Watching the footage, it’s clear to notice that Trask is a true pocket passer. Very rarely leaving the pocket, Trask stands tall with his upright posture, patiently watching the play develop until he finds an open receiver.

Just then as he releases the ball that you can see why the Gators would take a shot on him. Trask consistently hits his receivers time-and-time again, showing the type of accuracy that McElwain covets and demands out of his QBs. I know it is just a highlight film, and there aren’t any incomplete passes or interceptions, but looking at his stats, the footage doesn’t lie. Through 19 total varsity games, according to MaxPreps, Trask has completed 73% of his passes for 1061 yards, including seven touchdowns.

Trask doesn’t possess a cannon for a right arm like most would hope for in a QB competing in the SEC, but his touch and placement make up for it. He has a great feel for his throws, seeming to have a knack for how hard or soft to throw it. Throughout the video there are examples of him either floating a nice deep ball that hits a receiver in stride or throwing a frozen rope into a tight window.

Bolded part strikes me as something we haven't seen on the field in way too long.

We start winning this season, and we will get better caliber players.

I've already tried this line of reasoning with the lynch mob....Some how they still deny that Mizzou won 2 consecutive east titles with a bunch of 2 and 3 stars and is now just starting to get more 4 star players. If our new staff can scratch out 7 or more wins we will be loaded with mostly 4 star, and a few 5 star players in this class.

You just said he was given sh*t. And now he's going to win with it? And then he's going to recruit a bunch of kids more mediocre than Muschamp signed and he's going to turn it into gold?

Let me pour you another cup of coolaid.

You can win with sh*t. Mizzou has been doing it for the past two years. As far as the recruits, I believe we will get better ones near the end of this season if we show good improvement on offense.

My guess is McElwain wil need to get offensive recruits on faith this cycle as I doubt we have a huge turnaround on offense in the 1st season.

The East being down basically and key upsets to teams like Georgia (2014) etc. although they did roll on offense in 2013 but had some real nice skill players if I remember correctly in 2013.

I'll write the commissioner and demand that Mizzou give back their 2 East titles because the rest of the Division was down.....
