Bud Elliot Said Treon Harris Is "Looking Around"

Peter Ariz said:
His brother was telling me back in August that Treon would be a Cane if offered as a QB. We will see if those feelings are still there.

Get him on a visit and let him know he can have a shot to play QB. Would take him over Rosier and day of the week, especially with his upside to play CB or WR down the road if QB didn't work out.

Rosier has the worst offer list of any recruit I can remember. Not much late interest either.

You got one QB that was only recently offered and seems to headed to FSU or UF. He's interested, maybe, in looking around.

The other has a thread entitled "he's here". His recruitment has been full of breathless wondering if he will stick despite the fact he has done nothing but talked about the U. He is described as THE MOST IMPORTANT recruit in the class by many. Coach flies 3000 miles to see him and have breakfast with him the SAME day that the kid flies to the U for his official visit. His cookie cake will have the most views of any that came before it.

I don't see how the first one figures to play at the U?

I'd like to get them all but I don't see how this ends well for UM with Harris...

Unless he is coming to the realization that maybe he really isn't a big-time college QB and he is more open to playing another position, but just hasn't admitted it openly yet. He HAS to know that FSU is playing him as far as them expecting him to be a QB. Looking at our depth chart and our offensive system, he must also know that even if we say we'll give him a shot at QB, he's not a fit and will be competing against two prototypical pro-style offense QBs that also are/were highly ranked recruits at the position, which means he has almost no shot at QB. Now if UF revamps their offense to mimic Oregon, then he may well be a much better fit there as a QB...but he will also have little chance at going pro than if he spent time at FSU or UM developing into another position where he can use his amazing athleticism.

Jimbo will let the kids play the position they want too, he always says he will advise players where he thinks they can be most successful at FSU and in the league but he doesn't force kids to change positions,

he let wilder stay at running back
los stay at safety
Dent say at wideout
etc...

even though Jimbo thought they were better suited for different positions

What about Sir Daniel Stegall?

Stegall was a last minute commit after the kid from CA bailed. He never made it here, signed with the Mets. We had no QB in the 2005 or 2006 classes. What a disaster. Coker had a class in 2005 with no RBs, WRs, or QBs. Wrap your heads around that.

Man, with us losing 3 schollies a yr for 3 yrs... If this cat isn't good enough, I let him know now and he can look elsewhere. No need to hand out useless schollies.

So many of us have been saying forever that you recruit Treon as a QB, let him have a shot, and see how the chips fall. One of the 3 possible outcomes:

1. Kid proves everyone wrong and starts at QB.
2. Kid realizes he won't start at QB, changes position, and becomes a stud because he's a football player with a high football IQ.
3. Kid transfers to a place where he can play QB if he gets beat out here.

There isn't a person on this board that can convince me that he's not as good as Rozier at a min.

Agree with all who have said that this is a kid who is respected, would have repped the U, and would have had an impact on some other local guys. It just makes too much sense.

Disappointed because Golden should know better. Recruiting is supposed to be a game that he plays well. This last min change of heart, while nice in that it actually occurred, should have never even occurred. Treon should have been recruited from jump.

You forgot scenario 4, and it is every bit as likely as your 1-3.

4. Kid gets beaten out at QB and buried in the depth chart by our pro-style QBs in our pro-style offense. He and his father publicly gripe about how he was never given a fair chance and how Golden is giving preferential treatment to those OOS QBs over the home grown talent.

So then why offer him now at QB if that's a real concern? If that's your concern, then you never offer him at QB.

Pete my question for you is this....

If treon commits does Brad ditch us?

I don't think so, but that's one of those things that we won't really know about until it happens.

I would have to imagine Kaaya is still the #1 QB on our board. If Harris committs I could see Rosier moving on though.

I would agree with this.

Are they thinking Rosier is considering other schools/ de-commiting or is the staff just coming around to recruiting Treon as a QB as a better option than Rosier?

We went four straight years 2004-2007, where we didn't have a single QB start and end here. That's hard to do.

Think I read a few days ago that Ice gave an interview where he said there was "interest on both sides". IMO, I dont think he's feeling too comfortable at FSU. I still think the odds are that he sticks with them, but maybe he's seeing the reality of who he has to beat out up there, vs. here. Maybe he also feels he's less likely to get jerked around here because of his pops, than he would be at FSU.
