I wouldn't call it a dud. It went as predicted for these first 4 games. Home field is huge at Notre Dame, Ohio St, Texas, and Penn St. Not many programs can win there anytime. Next week at neutral sites will be more fair.
The real upsets were the initial selection of 5 non-P2 schools, leaving out Bama et al.
Short. Other schools were recruiting him as a receiver, including TCU where he was committed. We decided to give him a shot as a QB and that’s what he wanted. We’ll see if it pays off.
Yeah Cooley spelled it out pretty well but definitely feels like the closest comps to each other as HS QBs. Honestly I felt like in both cases they were better passers than runners as HS QBs, with the only limiting factor really being their size.
I think Jimerson is tall enough that if he has what it takes to be a good college QB, his height alone won’t be enough to negate that. White’s height unfortunately was most likely enough to negate his QB abilities at the college level.
Considering we were the only school offering him at QB when he decommitted from TCU who recruited him as a receiver, allowing him to play as a true freshman as a likely progression towards being the starter as a sophomore is as good a situation as any true freshman could walk into. If the understanding was that he was going to be the starter year one, we wouldn’t have gone after Poffenbarger the way we did.
