Hopefully he commits before he leaves campus and then signs. I don’t want another Zach Allen where he commits and a bigger Texas school comes in at the last minute and he flips.

Well thats only comparable if Dino gets canned or leaves in the next few weeks.

I just spent a bunch of time reading about him and I’m all in. It also seemed like from what I read in a couple of places that his recruiting looks to have really ramped up in December with many schools reaching out. I’d bet he will receive at least a handful more of solid offers before signing day.

 

[SmilinBob]

Why do I get this Sid Finch type of feeling with the numbers he had and no offers?

 

[SUbear]

I failed to read where I made that statement. You missed the point.

The whole point of your post was that Dungey was not overlooked.

In the bigger cities it is common now.

Southlake, seating for 11K and Grapevine-Colleyville both have their own stadiums, recently built/renovated, and within spitting distance of each other. Both are in the Dallas metro area. I guess it just depends where in Texas you live.

Can't sign until NLI Signing Day 2.

Nothing from Mom yet.

Nothing from Mom yet.

Maybe she's a sound sleeper?

Or had a great night in Armory?

He looks like he has everything you look for in a QB. Size, strong arm, throwing touch, mobility and strength.

But it is really hard to evaluate QBs from highlight film. The mental part of the position is a huge differentiator. Can the QB recognize coverages? Can he make the reads needed? Can he make progressions to secondary receivers when the primary is covered? How well does he hang in there when he is making passes under severe pressure?

I trust Sterlin’s judgement in this area until it is proven he should not be trusted.

Players who no offers or almost no offers this late in the recruiting cycle are in a tough position. I would think schools will be reluctant to make firm offers to these players, unless the schools are P5 powers, because they are afraid the players will use their offer to get more, better offers.

The players must be getting pretty desperate this late too.

It becomes a dangerous dance.

Would not be surprised if Syracuse holds off on a formal offer until shortly before LOI day to protect itself, trying to avoid a Villeaux type situation. Unless they really trust the player. I would think it would be very hard to trust a player so far from home, who surely did not grow up dreaming to play for Syracuse. We already know his brother picked a nearby school in part to make it easy for the family to watch him play...

Well, offer extended.

This would be more accurate if Hughes played at Montverde and ended up with only a single offer to Siena.

Not true. Hughes played AAU.

Still think Texas State is a major player here.

With his brother already committed they could look to become the best duo that school has seen in nearly 30 years, back when Scott Bakula and Sinbad were putting on the Fightin’ Armadillos helmet.

Their website lists 7(!) underclassman QBs. A depth chart on their msg board lists 4 as being on scholarship with 3-4 scholarships available.

Congratulations to Dillon Markiewicz on his Syracuse University offer. In my humble opinion, I see no down side to this recruit or his offer. I trust in Coach Sterlin Gilbert and as always, this young man has to receive the blessings of all involved in order for an offer to be extended. To me his film looks very good, I hope he signs with Syracuse. Go Orange!!!!!

He also liked Nico’s tweet that said “Keep an eye on this one Orange fans.”

 

[CuseOnly]

Would love to land this kid

 

[cusefan88]

DeVito still has two seasons. Plenty of time for the staff to evaluate this young man should he sign. Also they will certainly sign a 2021 QB as well.

 

[cuse309]

Tony Romo, Big Ben and Carson Wentz fall under the same rule. Maybe being an exception isn't so overwhelming.

nah...it's pretty overwhelming. You can name me 20 more names, and it's still an overwhelming exception.

 

[upperdeck]

so the story talks about post snap reads so he does make some even if the other story says he doesnt.

Every system makes you read the D. some make you read less than others by design. its not even clear how much our system forces post snap stuff on all the plays.

i like that he throws on the run pretty well and throws with touch on the run..

 

[Nahson]

I haven’t read everything about this kid so forgive me if this was previously mentioned here, but apparently his family has two sets of twin boys. That’s pretty cool.

Apparently, that’s not overly rare.

 

[SU in Hershey]

Since I don't have a Crystal Ball, I decided to consult my friend and see if I could provide some reassurance for us all...

I found out that our QB situation is going to be just fine!

(before anyone asks, no, I don't have inside info)

 

[bnoro]

You actually believe this or are you being facetious? Can't tell.

No, I know this is what FCS/D2/D3 schools do with kids they are recruiting. Happens all the time.
Do I know that to be the case here? Definitely not, but it's not outside the realm of possibility. Everyone's gotta protect themselves.

 

[Ozone!]

I know it makes the ED story more exciting if everyone writes that he was a nobody and came out of nowhere to be a great QB. So there must be tons of QB’s out there just like ED. It’s a false narrative. ED was at the camps and known QB. He was thought very highly of despite limited offers.

You are reading a lot into the limited amount I said in my post; which, unfortunately, occurs way too much on fan forums. ED did have limited offers, prior to ours, that is what I was speaking to. No one knows how this recruit will turn out, in college, and yet if he blossoms into a quality QB he will have his own story; perhaps in ways like the one ED created with his play.

Yeah I have no idea how much of a player Texas State is in all this, it’s just that we don’t typically recruit against them and nobody had yet made a reference to Necessary Roughness.

Good nugget on their depth chart, though. 7 seems to be an absurd amount of QB talent on a roster.
