Class of 2023 QB Marcus Stokes (FL) Portal to Memphis

Finalsts for the Harlon Hill Thorphy, it will be announced on Friday.

If Judd Novak from Kutztown enters the portal would love to be in on that but he only has one year left...some crazy stats. Just had 31 TDs to 1 INT this last year and has wheels. Plus it's being a Golden Bear myself would love to see it :)
 
I don't actually know what I'm talking about, but he throws off his back foot A LOT.

At times under duress with pressure in his face he did but there are a lot of throws that look textbook. The throw at :35 he throws from the 20 yd line to the 25 yrd line?

The throw at 1:22 is nice with the footwork and then the next throw after on the run.

Hope we can bring him in since we're down to 1 qb ?

Didn't see him set his feet once... but he wouldn't have had the chance behind our line last year either. He more mobile than I expected and threw the ball damn near 70 yards in the air on one play which is impressive. Also his reads on RPO are exceptional.

I counted 9 maybe 10 times he set his feet that are pretty obvious.

"I'd normally be appalled but he's good at football so we can excuse it"

Florida pulled his offer because of it. :rolleyes:

Florida recruited over him in the same class and used that as an excuse to cut numbers.

You think he was going to be the first and only gators player to say the n word? We're talking a, not hard R I presume. None have said it before or since his recruitment? C'mon now, I doubt Riley Cooper just picked up hard Rs in the NFL. Wonder if Aaron Hernandez ever said it? Any of the Uber successful muck boys?

Bunch of recruit highlight films have rap lyrics the same or worse now. Should we offer none of them? Should all rap albums with that word be burned? What is the desired end game here?
 
Kid made a dumb mistake when he was 17. Let’s hold it over his head forever. He may play football for Syracuse not marry your daughter! And nobody knows what type of kid he actually is just one that did something dumb 3 years ago.
And it sounds like the dumb mistake was more of an awareness issue of knowing that he shouldn't say it even in that context. Intention of how it was used means everything. From what I read previously about it, that certainly wouldn't keep me from bringing the kid in, especially now 3 years later.

Using music for a highlight film and actually saying the word are completely different and you know that's a straw man argument.
It has been weird hearing some of the music selections for highlight videos. I can accept that I'm a dinosaur on this but sometimes they seem downright inappropriate. We're in a time when people value authenticity, but it does muddy the waters on things like this. There is a difference between a potential athlete being ok with a certain song with questionable lyrics representing them, and the potential athlete actually saying certain things or acting in certain ways, but the dynamic is weird.

Highlight videos for recruiting purposes, as a rule should not contain music.

I guess you would have to consider the context and certainly and most importantly the current heart posture. And none of us will escape that from the One who sees and no matter what looks for goodness. Amazing Grace how sweet a sound. I know nothing of this situation personally, but I certainly trust to know the before for sure
