Treon Harris on campus

No we're not on Treon because of FSU. His body of work speaks for itself. Treon is an elite athlete and just led his high school team to a mythical national title. I give zero f*cks what the holes are doing in recruiting him or not.

Not for nothing, but If Treon is the Qb of the future, why is FSU letting him come down here without a fight? He's been visiting other places, rumors flying about him "thinking" and "trying to decide", and yet you really dont hear much about the FSU staff swamping the kid and trying to lock him down the way other staffs are. The Bama staff supposedly going at Bo this morning, LSU staff actually taking OVs with kids to Cali, LSU staff camped out several times this week at TVs house.

I just dont get the feeling that FSU is really stressing too much over losing Treon.

Maybe they offered him to get in with the other south florida recruits.

That's kind of the feeling Im getting. And once they did, they stopped showing him the love. I think he and Ice picked up on it and started looking around. What concerns me is, EVERYONE jumped on the Treon/QB bandwagon because of FSU. Before that, neither UF nor our staff felt he was going to be a QB at the next level. Everyone sort of came around late in the game, and I suspect it may have been as much local politics as anything else. Honestly, if Treon wasnt from Miami, I dont see us offering him at Qb, not with as long as they held out.

I will be happy if we get him, as he's a talented kid, and we can use talent. But Im not without concern over any potential QB controversies here. Im also a bit concerned on wether Kaaya knows we are still this hard after Treon, and what effect it could have on him. IMO, Kaaya is the "Franchise" in this class. I just dont want any nasty surprises.

His "body" is the problem. The kid looks about 5'10 to me. Our OL is going to average something like 6'5. He doesn't have a particularly strong arm either. I just don't see it. Maybe in an Auburn/Oregon type offense.

Harris will never play QB at UM. So unless the young man wants to play corner or WR, I don't waste a scholarship on him...
 
He is a QB until he proves he's not. The kid beat the best with his ARM all year long. He improved more in the last two seasons at his position than anyone I can remember. Don't underestimate his natural gifts. Kids legit. imho
 
Probably a little late for that...

I saw him here in Vegas, a good small QB, just don't see him beating out the other QB's we have. But I guess you never know.

are we talking about BTW? The team with the best defense in the country? 2 DEs that are terrors? And Treon like the above pic throwing with no one in his face?

Cornerback or slot receiver. Book it.

I think the ones on our roster, and the ones coming in. Need to 1st prove that they are somebody. This cat could come in, and just make all doubters, and so called guru's look sheepish.
 
I agree, not one has proven themselves yet. I can say without too much doubt, there won't be another qB on our roster than can scramble as good as him.

Stop speculating on what the holes are doing and pigeonholing one of the top players in Dade County. We'll have plenty of time to see what he can do at the QB position. I think he'll surprise many here at his ability to play QB well. As far as his height is concerned, kids who are short have played that way their whole careers and make plays. Like every other QB he'll find lanes to throw in. No QB relishes having to look through their OL when passing the ball. We do recognize that neither Brad Kaaya nor Kevin Olsen is 6-8 so they too will have to find lanes to throw the ball.

Treon Harris was the best high school player I saw last year. The Russell Wilson of South Florida.

Is he going to be a great college quarterback? That remains to be seen. But some legendary quarterbacks were recruited as DBs. Get him on campus and figure it out.

We have a very good shot.
 
I think Harris commits after this weekend.. If Golden offered him at QB in the spring he would already be here and recruiting other guys.. He NEVER said he wasn't open to playing DB he just wanted a shot at QB.. Nic Marshall left UGA because he wanted to be a QB not safety and he led 3-9 Auburn to the NC the next year with the worst defense ever fielded in a NC game. And they blew a 3 td lead..
