Any chance we can let the coaches do what they are paid to do and reserve judgement until their team runs its first play in a game that counts?

Sure, we could try that, but that would leave almost nothing to talk about for 8-9 months.

I'll let YOU off the hook.

In April, Paxton Lynch will most likely be a top 10 pick in the NFL draft. He was a 2 star recruit according to 247 that played high school ball in Florida. He was offered by only Florida A&M and Memphis. Wow, lots of coaches right there in the good ol' Sunshine State missed on that one huh? I mean he was right under their noses.

Here's likely why the kid is not being recruited harder:  http://football.debartolosportsu.com/news/view/474

His dad.  Specifically, his dad has had him hooked up with kook/guru Joe Dickinson who briefly was an assistant at OU - when Littrell was there, but before Stoops and a real coaching staff were hired.

This Dickinson styles himself as a QB guru:  http://football.debartolosportsu.com/team

In my opinion, there is no bigger name dropper than Dickinson.  That this kid's name is firmly attached to him likely just causes many colleges coaches to say, "Thanks, but no thanks."

I can't believe this kid didn't wind up at Liberty Christian.

So there is not a QB in the State of Texas, anywhere, that have comparable numbers to this guy?    Also, and I have no idea on the percentages, it seems as if many transfers are by athletes wanting get back closer to home.

 

Yes there is.  He's 6'4", 185 lbs and has one offer from Tulsa,

This seems pretty appropriate here seeing as how we are talking about doors that go like this and not like this.
