2019 QB Cade McNamara Commits To Michigan
Four-star Reno (NV) Damonte Ranch quarterback Cade McNamara made an early commitment to Notre Dame last July. He picked up a Michigan offer in January. On March 3rd, he decommitted from the Irish. This evening, he posted some news:

McNamara is the sixth commit in the 2019 class, which now ranks fifth nationally, and the first at quarterback. He holds offers from the likes of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and USC. I'll have the full Hello post tomorrow afternoon.
Great news - may be worth doing a draft on a Mazi Smith as well at this point?

To be fair, he struggled a bit as a freshman and sophmore, but he did pretty well his last two seasons. Al Borges aside, offense was not the problem on those UCLA teams.
Hell yeah!

any port in a storm.
nice.

he looks like a pro QB out there, rocket arm, accurate, can scramble and throw it well while doing so and many times accross his body....this feels like it came outta nowhere and I'm really glad!
Welcome Cade and Go Blue!
FWIW, he was a Michigan lean as soon as he decommitted from Notre Dame. I didn't think it would happen this quickly, though.
It's, "I'm love tonight and I drunk Michigan." Get it slurggh mnaerf toopa.

I am pretty sure you are going to be happy this recruiting cycle. We are in on some elite backs this year. The biggest recruit out there that is visiting this weekend is Zach Harrison. If we could steal him away from osu it would be huge on so many levels. Pair Hinton and Harrison together. Oooh ya!!.
Feel really good about getting at least two really good backs this cycle. Like the new QB. Profile said not fleet of foot. He looks really fast to me.
that's such a west coast broseph QB name

Cade McNamara - it looks like a name that is willing to bomb the Buckeyes into oblivion.

Reno isn't west coast yet.
Looks to be the same height as Harbaugh. Hail yeah! That's gotta be a good sign.

What a pleasure to read 17 comments without running into one bitching that Harbaugh can't recruit.
"Wake me up when this staff can recruit a key piece on the OL." - WD
Rumler is going to be one helluva OG and Jones is an excellent prospect...that's one third of the class at this time. Lots more big-time prospects are seriously interested. Lots of oustanding RS kids and Ruiz already on the roster. They need a coach...OH!!! They've got that too. Maybe the partisans should let these kids develop and play before getting all bent out of shape???
"Good morning. Bredeson, Ruiz and Onwenu certainly qualify as key OL pieces. We'll soon find out if Hudson and Stueber do as well."
Ohio St is putting a lot of effort into flipping Nolan Rumler away, as Nick Saban did in flipping Emil Ekiyor away. Ed Warriner may be what keeps Rumler at Michigan.

I like taking guys away from Alabama, USC, Notre Dame and Georgia.

I hope all of our young QBs get a chance to start.
2019 is looking good. Lets keep grinding and get some wins this year
Decent arm and keeps his eyes down field. Throwing motion and footwork will need to be corrected. He's quick in the pocket, can move around, but doesn't have enough running speed for QB runs to be a threat.
Well, the good news from his tape is that he was very successful while under significant duress. To complain about footwork and throwing motion when there is no semblence of a pocket seems silly to me. How about the fact that he is finding receivers and putting the ball on the money under these circumstances!!! The kid is quick AND fast enough-when he did run he was runining away from LBs like they were standing still.
He is a junior in high school...likely only 16 years old in the tape. I'll take him.
did you just get hired on to the coaching staff? just super insightfull. coming to those conclusions from that tape.
he dropped ND and committed to UM a couple weeks later, if he is trying to win me over he is doing a hell of a job.
This HAS to be the best evidence of his character—drop ND, commit to UM. There is a certain ring to that...the cymbals' song of it...
All our QB's aren't 6'6" and stiff in the mold of John Navarre.
was a good college quarterback. He had a good career at Michigan. Led them to victory in The Game.

I don’t mind if Harbaugh recruits pro-style guys. I just hope they’re guys who can move around in the pocket and run for a few yards if they have to, without looking like their cleats are made of cinder blocks.
