2014 QB commit WIlton Speight showing skills at QB retreat
I can never figure out how to post videos......sorry!
Thank you!
I've decided I can't be a college football quarterback.
What exactly made you reach that decision?
Haven't seen the backwards visor in a while.
Has there been any more info regarding Speight not going to the NFTC in Columbus? Is there another event he plans on going to for an Elite 11 invite or has he just realized Trent Dilfer is a huge douche?
I'll give him a pass on the backwards visor because he was in San Diego.
I'm assuming yes to Trent Dilfer, since we all do.
"Has there been any more info regarding Speight not going to the NFTC in Columbus?
Because obviously.
You had it right at some point because i watched it..Its Wilton throwing some deep balls with some scary music playing..So far i sense Wilton is working hard to max his potential..im glad he is Blue
but i think hell get into the elite 11 and the opening
It's just one extra keystroke!

I don't have a good eye for these sorts of things, but I liked what I saw. Especially the visor! I'm happy he will be a member of our class.
Cool stuff. Speight has some nice touch, hopeful--- I JUST GOT INTO MICHIGAN!!!!!!
Thank you! It's a dream come true.
That's awesome if you just got word. I remember how excited I was when I found out I was accepted. Did a lap around the house.
Congratulations! Welcome to the Michigan family!
As for Speight, I really liked what I saw here - his footwork isn't bad at all, and his arm is pretty much as advertised per some threads that have appeared in the recent past. 2014 really is shaping up to be a special class, it seems.
Just curious, but did you JUST get into Michigan--in the end of May, or were you accepted weeks ago?
Come on I can throw the ball 40 yards in the air man, too bad i'm 5'8" and 150 pounds soaking wet....
does a foam made, propelled nerf junior size football count? it even has a yard counter
yess :3
What in that video made him look like he's a 3-star QB? His arm strength is very good if not great, and other than that, it's two minutes of highlights of near perfect throws and good if not very good footwork (especially for a 6'7" dude).
I'm not going to pretend that video proves he's a 5-star, but it sure doesn't offer any evidence that he is a 3-star QB.
He has a really strong arm but he throws from his shoulder.. Thats the only thing that I see wrong. I dont think that Hoke and Co. are looking for another Denard so im not worried about his speed
Chaz Henne is Chad's older, better dressed brother?
I would say that hes more of a Navarre than Brady
Looks good for a kid going into his senior year. it seems like he needs some work on his accuracy to me, but I'm pretty excited about him.
is it just me, or does it look like he has a low arm angle/delivery? this brings back memories of henne and navarre. I swear Navarre had more balls batted down than any 6'6" qb in the history of college football.
a low spot. They were the result of throwing over defenders instead of throwing into open lanes created by the pocket. This is also the reason he got sacked more than his fair share of times. He had terrible pocket presence, but he was listed by many NFL scouts as having perhaps the best long ball coming into the draft. This type of throw requires throwing the ball in an upward motion, of course, as opposed to try and hitting someone on a quick route that a defender will bat down if he attempts to throw over him. The NFL lists a who's who of qbs generously listed at heights they could only dream of. For instance, Tarkenton was 5'10, listed at 6'. Flutie had no problem being listed at what is probably his correct height of 5'9." No matter how low John threw from, Doug nor Fran could not have possibly thrown from a higher release point. It is about knowing where to throw from on the field, not where to throw from relative to your ear, which is the release point that most top notch qbs use. Speight has a very quick release, again differing from and why defenders were able to time their hand reach and jump so correctly. ^Qbs, normally by habit, release the ball just above the ear with the forward point of the ball aiming just a few degrees down to prevent the "flying ball," the one that will take off and sail over the would be receiver's head. So in answer to your real concern, you don't have much to be concerned about here. In watching previous video of him, I was always impressed on how quickly, after timing receivers whereabouts and where to put the ball, he was able to releas the ball with a fluid motion somewhat reminiscent of a Marino. I'm certain this jumped out at Michigan coaches right away.
Also, I think that at least 9" of Navarre's height was neck. He might have been functionally 6'6" as a soccer player, but his shoulders were actually only like 5.5 feet off the ground.
True story.
You hit it right on the head..Another thing that scares me is when he plays a real atheletic D like the (Carrols) USC and not able to get a pass off.. Those Rose Bowl games were FRUSTRATING.
But he throws on the move very well. That stuck out to me.
