2021 QB Commit JJ McCarthy lights it up
2021 QB commit JJ McCarthy apparently blowing people away in pool play at this year's 7v7 National Championship.
Let's get him some WR's
AND let's make sure he waits 20 min. after eating before getting back in the "Pool" to "Play".
/s
...and a LT and a great entire O-line, and a TE and reliable back...and a great Defense.
He’s the best QB prospect Michigan has ever signed (upon his own, eventual signing of course).
Change my mind.
you can't tell me what to do
Wasn't Henson the #1 recruit in the country, or somewhere up there?
I’m not talking their actual numerical ranking.
well then...this guy?
He actually falls under, "The best NFL QB that Michigan has ever signed".
You're missing a ring there :)
it's on the middle finger of the other hand you can't see and pointed in the direction of anybody who doubts TB12=GOAT.
orrrrrr....i grabbed a random picture that was out of date.
How about “Best QB Prospect To Whom Michigan was not Ignorant of His Potential”?
That staff was never ignorant of his potential. They just didn't want to lose someone they thought was better that they ended up being drastically wrong about.
For the last 15 years the QB bar has been pathetically low. Zero 5 stars, at least consensus. I think Gardner and Morris were 5 stars on some sites but not on others.
Denard was such amazing fun to watch...maddening at times, but always entertaining.
Henne was great, and the majority of the blame has to fall on Carr for not winning once against OSU with the talent on both sides of the ball with those teams.
JJ has a great chance to be an all time great. I'm 43 and can't think of one Michigan QB that just lit up the competition and OSU and was truly special. Lots of QB's that went on to be better in the NFL than at Michigan.
I'd have to agree; if he keeps recruiting like he is, he would be in the running even if he never wins the starting job.
Nice find, OP. Have no idea what kind of a college player he'll be but the hype seems to be real and it can only be good for us to have a kid at this elite level hitting up the camp circuit and aggressively recruiting his peers for 2020 and 2021. There's been a least a couple kids who have already called out McCarthy as a reason they'd be looking at Michigan. With him carving up defenses in camps and getting aggressive on the recruiting trail, 2021 could be a special class.
Thanks. I was so surprised that no one had already posted it that I thought maybe this was from a week ago and I'd missed the thread. Lol.
Anyway, here's hoping he lives up to the hype and brings some kids with him for the ride!
Alpha Dog status is okay, I guess. The write up sounded positive... Seems like he might be good at football!
But in the 'WTH' department:
1. WR Muhsin Muhammad, Charlotte (N.C.) Myers Park
Didn't he retire from the NFL not too long ago? What's he doing back in high school? Dude's like Adam Sandler!
Yes, he had a pretty good NFL career. He also played for MSU. His son is a very good 4-star WR that had MSU in his top 4, probably to appease his father, because he committed to Texas A&M a couple of weeks ago.
So Alpha Dog better than the top 10? He didn’t make the top 10 but he is the dog.
From what I can tell, Alpha Dog is the top performer so far.
Great movie too!
Thanks for the post. A fun read, for sure. A commit like this can certainly boost recruiting for Michigan.
I'd be surprised if Gattis is here for very long. 2-3 years seems most likely. He'll either win and get a great HC offer, or he'll be replaced just like Drev and Pep were before him. Hopefully JJ is committed to the program and not a coach or offensive scheme. 2021 is a long ways off and things may look quite different by the time he has a chance to see the field.
JJ McCarthy "I used to love Ohio State, now I want to kill them."
He might not be committed TO a program but he's sure committed to beating the right one:)
Plus he feels ND lied to him so he's going to recruit against them clowns hard the next few years.
of course he is committed to the coaches. The coaches ARE the program. To assert that recruits should stick to a school if the coaches who recruited them are gone or an offensive scheme that suited them is gone, is absurd.
I thought of smoking Jay Cutler when I read the title.
I'll be that guy today. Shane Morris was a 7-on-7 stud. Hope JJ can perform as well in live action with pads on and blitzers coming at full speed.
at least McCarthy's not a lefty? (#nopolitics #itshowhethrows)
When Morris dropped from 5-start to 4-star status (besides the Mono-shortened senior year) the knock on him was that he struggled with decision making and progressions. Add in that his arm strength, while an asset, was also a weakness in that he seemed to be a gunslinger and lacked touch at times.
The scouting on McCarthy I've seen all highlight him having good touch on his throws, great accuracy, and good decision making.
Something to look forward too.
Putting weight in 7v7s seems like a total crapshoot.
