Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4694942, member: 27"] My impressions of Jakhari… He is 6‘1.5, and about 190 pounds, so he is a little undersized but plenty of QBs his size have been successful in the ACC. Will definitely need to get stronger. He is a legit dual threat QB. Really agile, can make people miss really well and can cut on a dime. He is a strong arm too. Throws it 50 or 60 yards effortlessly and when he needs to throw it hard into tight coverage, he can do that. His completion percentage is about 60%, which isn’t great and it might be an indication accuracy is a problem. He is fun to watch and seems capable of great things. He reminds me of LaNorris Sellers some. No doubt he can make something good happen when a play breaks down, but it seems he usually will save a broken play by making a spectacular run, As opposed to Zurbrugg, who appears to be gifted finding players down field on the full run (and capable of throwing it accurately on the run). Saw some throwing on the run from Jakhari too but he mostly seems to run when flushed from the pocket He runs track and field. It appears this is the first year he has run track and he set a PR of 12.00 in the 100m recently. Also has high jumped 6’2 and triple jumped over 41 feet. He is an impressive athlete. He plays at a lower level of Georgia HS football and his HS plays in a new independent league, where the competition is not great. It looks like his HS is not great either. They finished 2-9 with a P5 level QB starting for them. At the least, Jakhari knows adversity. The article I read says he decommitted from GT. Not sure if that is accurate. Whatever happened there, it is tough to be a HS QB without a scholarship so late in the recruiting process. That I think helps explain his final five, which is radically different than the list of schools that offered him initially. I think we offered something like 10 QBs initially in this class and missed on all of them. Things were looking grim. Credit to the staff for staying the course, continuing to work and finding two impressive HS QBs who appear to be really good fits for our system. It will be interesting to see if we have any interesting in other QBs now. I am thinking maybe Bass, but the others….no way. Toledo has to be happy they are keeping their verbal. Good for them. Hopefully we get the rover from Virginia on Tuesday, and add Haile and the OL from Texas soon. Things are looking good…. [/QUOTE]
