The Kyle Trask Thread

[leogator]

Will Miles thinks Kyle Trask can run the read option pretty well since that was what they were running in HS. He also analyzes his strengths and weaknesses in the passing game:

Will Myles thinks Trash can run the option pretty well since they ran the option at his HS and didnt play him bc he couldnt run?

Solid analysis.

It is also pretty funny given the previous mantra was "he was a prostyle QB stuck at a spread option school."

Well the guy in front of him could run like the wind. But at least he can read the DE on an option play. We'll see what Franks can do. If Trask can get us 4 yds in an option play I'm OK with it. Just to keep the defense from concentrating on the RB. Is he a threat for a 80 yard run? No.

Here is the bottom line. We still don't have a QB until EJ is ready. I am proud of Trask for coming here with very limited experience and working his butt off to try and earn his position. It may really bother the donk but the facts are the kid is not that bad. Like I have said before, I don't think he is an SEC caliber QB but I find it funny that he is putting so much pressure on our 4 star starter. I will be pulling for the underdog to have success.

Will and Leo just walked into that one. Even I could have knocked that out of the park. That was so easy I shouldn't have even liked it.

Will was giving the best case arguments for a position, then the negatives. It isnt his "analysis" of what he thinks WILL happen. He did one for each ofnthe QBs.

Can Trask run the option the way Mullen wants? No. Just look at the QB he signed and the ones he is recruiting. Can he be a guy that has a consistent stat line of 7-10 carries with a 35-40 yard per game average? Due to his size, possibly. I won't say yes because it depends on his running style which I've never seen. At 235-240 pounds, he might be able to be a bulldozer type. Maybe this is wrong, but I look at it this way. Grier is an athletic guy who could get you yards running if a play broke down. But, can he run the option? Not really. So it is with Trask. We will find out very soon.

It's really a Flex Option as opposed to Read Option. You flex to your quarterback's strengths.

Problem is we don't know if Trask has any.

He had a few designed QB runs in his Senior highlights, I wonder why they did not include the option reads.

Really hard to swallow that we offered a guy a scholly when a good part of his "highlight" film is playing against his own freshmen scout squad and who couldnt land offers from North Texas or Austin Peay.

He came to FNL two times and did very well. He also went to the Dallas Opening regionals.

Hard to swallow the fact that we offered FF based on his film that consisted on heaving it up so that his 4.5/40, 6'4" wide receiver Gavin could run under. No semblance of routes or anything.

So he did well in a non padded "practice" and has no real game film from High School against the other teams #1s... But lets get excited over the fact he came to two practices... we aren't taking about actual games, we are talking about a practice.

And yet recruiting analysts base their recruiting rankings on the very same practices.

So what your argument is now, is that they do not take game play into account when doing recruiting analysis?

Right. Franks is the project type QB you take bc he is the best backup option or bc you think you can fix him and covet the arm maybe. He is the backup choice to Eason or similar blue chip QB.

I always prefer proven champions (winners win) who are accurate passers first, even measurables like speed, arm strength etc.

But some of you are more concerned w people being 6'5" and having a cannon arm. I guess you got what you wanted.

I am very skeptical that most of them do. Otherwise how could they ever rated Malik Davis a 3*? Malik Davis did not go to any camps. How could you not look at the 7029 yds rushing?

I don't know who you are looking at but rivals had him as a blue chip prospect:

And B) if we are going just by practices... how schitty was he in those non padded practices if he was only a 2* QB... couldn't thrown without pads and a pass rush?

He was a .87, 3* composite. Even the Gators only offered him on Oct 21, 2016 and he committed on Oct 26.
