Canes players say Tyler Van Dyke is the real deal

[Mackmiller974]

In the limited sample size that teammates have seen him, freshman quarterback Tyler Van Dyke is the real deal. Those were the exact words used by two Canes offensive players.

Van Dyke was only on campus less than two months before classes were suspended due to coronavirus. He and teammates participated in just four spring practices.

But two players on the team said there’s something different about him — in a very good way.

One said he’s really, really good — the best of the quarterbacks competing to back up D’Eriq King. He’s accurate, bright, has a maturity about him and a strong arm. “He’s a gunslinger,” the other said
Both expect him to be the starter in a post-D’Eriq King era, either immediately or soon after.

But on a scale of ****kowsi to Lawrence where would you put TVD?

 

[mirvin88]

We've had a real deal allegedly for 15 years

****kowski doesn’t deserve to be on the scale , even if he’s weighing.

About time we are stacking talent in our QB room. The previous staff's innabitlity to recruit this position was sickening.

Are these the same offensive players who said lovely things about Jarren?

I absolutely hope he's the real deal, but your statement says more about our then QB room than TVD.

And no, Perry is not our answer.

Do other team’s fans try to downplay and discredit a player’s potential or just Miami fans?

TVD has the goods. His advantage over the previous qbs this era is better coaching.

I think it has more to do with Maturity, Intelligence and Work Ethic. Rosier,Kaaya and Morris had it and Kosi, Martell and Williams didn't. Fortunately it did seem like Nkosi was turning a corner last year.

You know I can never doubt you.

He's a blank slate. I remember my time in the Navy and loved getting new sailors from boot camp. Can help shape and form them with the right structures around them. My chief and I never knew who we were getting when we got a transfer from another ship or from shore duty.

Agreed. Can't leave that out . Proper leadership would help speed those 3 elements up.
