judge of talent, but I like this kids tape better than any recent qb recruit weve gotten. He's big,strong, good arm with accuracy, and a fearlss runner. On top of that he looks like he plays with confidence and swagger. I miss watching a qb who has that look.
Now we need a kid named Hail.
on the defensive line to smash opposing team's offensive line.
His film reminds me of Tate Forcier.
Dak Prescott, the Mississippi State QB this year. Stocky build and mobile. He's deceptively athletic as well. Also a powerful runner. I have a feeling that this guy will be our starting QB in a couple years. If Harbaugh can work his magic, he may be able to develop this guy into an elite QB.
good call Forcier was alot smaller and not as physical. No wonder Mullen is so mad. lol!
I'm not one to analyze scouting film, but I wouldn't call his speed deceptive. He looks pretty damn fast for a QB. Faster but not as big and strong as Dak I'd say.
As Monkey House says, I also doubt he'll be our starting QB. Wouldn't surprise me to see him run some option sometime or be in for goal-line situations. Otherwise I figure he'll play elsewhere.
Kid is legitimately fast, looks like a fast tebow at 220. Gives Jim an option to run a more spread attack, but could see time at HB, H Back, FB or even LB Desmond Morgan style. Very athletic glad we got him.

They had 3 very good - excellent quarterbacks and they needed all three to win the national championship.
Shane Morris and Jack Ruddock only have about one year eligibility left.
Zack Gentry and Alex Malzone are freshman.
Peters is a little bit unknown, given that he is just getting on board.
Let Harbaugh recruit whatever QB recruits he needs to create the competition to raise the performance level to an elite status.
Do not forget about him. He will have to sit out this upcoming season, but will then have two seasons of eligibility.
He is 6'4'' and 220 lbs, and is very mobile as well.
It will be interesting to see how he progresses under Harbaugh and staff.
as a versatile QB and also as something like sort of a "speed TE".
An oversimplification of the Harbaugh recruiting method: build the best team of athletes he can find, as fast as they will accept. All the "Starz" guys seem to be on the outside looking in, thinking they can milk their recruitment and take visits, etc until the very end. However that's not going to work if you want to play for Michigan in the future...love it.

Someone who recalls better than I, what kind of role did Griff Whalen play while at Stanford? Strictly an outside receiver? He was an ahtletic, well-built, HS QB who switched positions for Harbaugh. He is a touch smaller at 5'11''/200 lbs.

Those of you who are boo hooing over this guy because of his rating need to watch his video, otherwise you're making yourself look kinda dumb...
Love this pick-up. I'll be shocked if he doesn't get a large bump based off what I'm hearing from the camp circuit as well as the highlights I just watched. Dude can play.
This is a kid who I could see being a stud QB at a place like Oregon, a la Marcus Mariota (who was also famously under-recruited)... I'm thrilled beyond belief to have VV in the fold.
What's your vector?
