Recruiting 2020 Recruiting Thread: Gervon Dexter gets 5th Star on Rivals

[leogator]

So youre saying Fitzgerald was always shyt. AR's 18 yards per attempt (which means more than twice that per completion?) shows he is likely completing some very long passes. Fitzgerald averaging 6 yard means he was missing screen passes in HS too.

18.2 yds/attempt is great for HS. He won't be able to average that in college. Not in the SEC. Maybe in the Big 12.

 

[leogator]

So is this someone we are pursuing strongly or just another guy from Texas who will sign with Oklahoma or Alabama?

I have no idea if we are pursuing him or not but just in case we miss on AR or in addition to him I think we should.

Those are Fitz's numbers from last fall.
These are the stats for his Junior year:

Passing: 671yds, .423 completion rate, 20.3yds/att, 11TDs 4 Ints
Rushing: 1517yds 8.5yds/att, 25 TDs

That is some Driskel stuff right there.

Everyone in the Big 12 runs sideways passing Mumme/Leach ball.

If there were actually an offensive coordinator in the conference with a brain and balls, the SEC is set up more perfectly for the next Spurrier to destroy them with downfield passing than it was in 1990. Unfortunately no one except Mizzu passes the ball and they play Mumme ball too.

DT Jalen Carter from Apopka is scheduled to be at UF for Junior Day. He's 6'4 300lbs, ranked inside the top 100 overall on 247. If we can add him or Tim Smith that'll be the best DT class since Meyer.

No denying that his team is very good and his receivers do not drop many passes. But he looks very accurate and he has a really decent arm for the long ball. His receivers did not have to adjust to his passes like Trevor Lawrence's did in the CFP Championship game. Again this is from highlights but 69% completion rate does not lie. He's also deceptively quick and fast.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

HS all star type teams (Catholic whatever) recruit the best players, no?

Didn’t Trask have zero picks and a 70% completion percentage

In his two-game career yes. Or the equivalent of 2-3 games.

You'll see a lot of back up Major Leaguers that have .750 batting average or a 0.00 ERA for their two-game careers.

Plus in general we'd like to stick with players that are at least good enough to play in high school. That rule even applies for Walk-Ons, but I guess it is just an impossibly high standard for Butters to uphold.

He had some gaudy stats for 3 games worth.

Kyle Trask's High School Stats

But again you missed the point. Trask is just more proof that HS stats aren’t the end all be all in recruiting.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Only fans of a team that has had way too much butters and chimp in their life would think those are gaudy stats.

Yes, they are not but you also look at film and preferably not just the highlights. Sometimes you learn more from the dropped passes and the incompletions and the tackles for a loss than the highlights. For example a lot of QBs highlights emphasize the spectacular long passes not the routine short and intermediate passes that are timing dependent. Can he throw the slant/crossing, curl and sideline routes. Franks would heave the ball to his tall receiver Gavin in HS and Gavin adjusted to the ball leading to a long completion. He was not asked to read defenses, throw short and intermediate passes. He was ill prepared for the college game.

Trask is not an SEC QB but if the guy were to win the Heisman, the donk would still say he sucked. Don't waste any time debating it with him. Trask banged his girlfriend and then she screamed his name later on when she was back with the donk. He will never recover.

 

[Gator By Marriage]

Allow me to retort:

You are a better runner in college than Franks. Even if you are not in college. Even if you are in a wheelchair.

I wish he really could run like that. Can you imagine trying to tackle that sonnuvabeetch?

 

[alcoholica]

Well you said 2-3 games worth. That’s about 600yds per game and just under 6 TDs a game.

Blah blah blah, we all know this. No need to pontificate over a small point made

So you are saying donk knows what to do with a girlfriend?

No, she was screaming for Trask when the donk attempted to touch her.
