Finally, some QBs. I'm hoping Nussmeier finally gets around to Kearns.

Nussbaum did such a fine job on Lewerke that he immediately went and committed to Sparty.
Nah, I'm just having fun, as he was well behind a whole bunch of guys on my list, sour grapes not at all. I suspect that he didn't get his offer and went away mad.
I really like Gentry and Kearns a lot, and then Malzone who I believe to be in possession of Josh Rosen's missing intangibles, Sills, who I think is going to flip on USC, and the two dual threat kids, Waller and Wimbush all a lot better than I do Lewerke. Although I do believe that he'll be a nice QB for them.

Nussmeier hasn't seen Lewerke throw yet. He was supposed to see him sometime this week. I'm not sure if that session will take place now or not.

Ahhhh, evidently my biases are showing. I looked into Francois last night. Big arm indeed, but he struck me as a kid that's out there collecting offers before he commits to Florida State.

It sounds like the kid, Deondre Francois from IMG Academy has an absolute cannon for an arm. Reports about an offer are mixed.

Yeah, Francois does have a cannon. One of the strongest arms in the class.

Chad Lindsay to Ohio State. Smh.

It is the fact he went THERE that pisses me off…..Nuss just got flipped the bird IMHO.

Well, that's what happens when you go 15-11 and your rival goes 24-2. I am already so fired up about the Ohio game. I want to rip them apart.

Is there a known reason Matthew Burrell hasn't been offered? He seems highly rated, loved his visit last year and we are looking for more OL help.

That's an outstanding question!!!!!
Scout thinks he's lacking a nasty streak, I'm not seeing that at all. He looks to be a big, quick, beast of a kid that just flat out buries people and then, if he hasn't tripped over their face mask, moves on to the next level looking for someone else to hit. I'd be on Matthew Burrell like whatever analogy you can come up with.
Maybe Thunder can find something wrong with the kid, but I sure couldn't.

Looks like he got offered this afternoon!
