Brett Gabbert

[Cuban-Cane]

I’d take any HS prospect at this point but I prefer Nik Scalzo over this kid.

**** no

 

[Hoyacane1620]

We also need some maturity in that room and it’s obvious.

I think that’s this kid’s primary role. If he needed to play he wouldn’t be terrible.

Maybe he could help teach Perry and whoever is left to read defenses etc.

What school did Jeff Thomas attend in St. Louis?

 

[Paranos]

I am thinking Coach Richt and Staff watched the UCF Game an figured they could work with a short QB all of sudden. They are forgetting how many balls Rosier had knocked down because they had throwing from the pocket. Also how man balls did rosier throw poorly because he lacked the vision to the field past the tall linemen obstructing his view.

[B-LASH84]

35:1 TD to INT ratio.
70% completion rate.

I like that

 

[HighSeas]

The longer I watched the more I liked him. Seems to have an excellent grasp of timing in the passing game - measures his drops and releases the ball just before the rush can arrive. He manages the pocket really well which is something his brother has struggled with. He's not as twitchy as Baker Mayfield and obviously throws with less velocity but he showed he can create space in the pocket, keep his eyes downfield and throw off-balance/on the move from multiple platforms. His height (overvalued trait) doesn't bother me I just wish he had a bigger arm.

He reminds me a lot of Kellen Moore. He can succeed at Miami as long as pass protection improves. His lack of physical traits will be most apparent when he's under duress. He's definitely better than nothing and this archetype of QB is one we should be pursuing more.

East St. Louis HS. It's actually in Illinois.

 

[Paranos]

He looks short, you can see where P5 D1 linemen would knock down his passes.

 

[jw410]

QB, 3 star from Saint Louis

Committed to Miami (OH)

Brother of Blaine

Miami is in contact

(Per Ivins)

Let's get us a steal.. MAC produces some solid kids every year..

 

[jw410]

He looks short.

[Ver]

Accuracy would be the main thing I would look, you can get far with that, with athletes we recruit

I saw a lot of those same good things you saw too. The things I kind of targeted as potential issues is he seemed to have a propensity to have one read on plays and lock there, and his release, while not awful, seemed somewhat like Malik. Kind of long and not as snappy as I would have thought.

Both of which can be coached out of a player, but not sure if we have the right people in place for that. Still a take.

 

[Number1CanesFan]

I'd take.

Look good throwing and is mobile.

I rather have this guy then a grad transfer.

We're not getting a grad transfer QB. That was Richt's pipe dream. Kelly Bryant already cancelled his OV. No grad transfer is coming in to compete with 3 young capable QBs. The gap in talent would have to be large. N'kosi already showing he's ready to take the next step.

A grad transfer QB wants to go to a place where he knows he's going to be "the guy."

 

[3rd-43]

Good thing we have the Jeff Fisher of the NCAA grooming QB's

 

[Jakec15]

Why not, tape isn't bad, he's athletic, from a QB family. Only major knock against him is his height, need QB depth anyway.

 

[Drewny1]

His brother was **** good in the system at Missouri

FIFY

Drew Brees says hello

Malik Rosier says watch me throw for 50% completion in UM's system as a short QB.

Go Canes

 

[DemCanesByke]

Gotta understand there’s guys out there that develop late..a lot of non power 5 schools develop these kids

Jon Richt aint developing Sch*t

You said Malik Rosier **** Kosi has to be below 50% too what's your point?

 

[Paranos]

If we are going after last minute 2019 flip candidate QB'S than Davis Beville who is committed to Pitt and Josh Calvin who is committed to Utah Stste are better prospects for Miami's system.
