Class of 2023 QB Rickie Collins (LA) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/20/24)

You can see clearly in these great shots from 007 where Rickie has his fingers and grips the ball. In the top picture you see the progression of his fingers on the ball. His index finger is close to the end of the ball on the top, it allows for the most controlled spin on the ball as it leaves your hand; essentially acting as the "spiral finger" that imparts the majority of the rotation. his middle and ring finger on the laces and pinky just off. His thumb is in line with his middle finger on the bottom of the ball. In the bottom pic you can see the ball is level and his wrist is locked allowing him to throw a tight spiral comparable to Kyle every time.
I think Bradshaw had his pinkie on the point of the ball.
 
Agree Money. I’ve been beating the drum for Collins. I love his potential.

I think his success throwing the ball comes on recentering his weight on an anchor in front of him. When he does that - the ball is impressive. His mobility is a plus but if he can’t stay balanced while moving the pocket, his accuracy will be a negative.

Footwork essentially is effort (IMO). Let’s hope it’s there.
Good points. Love his potential
