Jeffrey Godfrey has a clear #1
I'm not sure if anyone had posted this yet. I couldn't find anything.
This is from rivals.com
"(Michigan) did come through, I think Monday (after the camp) and my coach told me on Tuesday," Godrey reported. "After getting the offer I had made up my mind that was where I wanted to go, but I didn't make any commitment. "Right now Michigan is my No. 1 school and I am looking at them very hard. I am just waiting on them to recruit me a little more and just learn about the school a little more."http://michigan.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=916156

Guy can really chuck it.
February 25th, 2009 at 12:43 PM ^
Yeah, he throws hard. I'm guessing he's going to be a 4 star. Offers from Florida State, Miami, Michigan and Tennessee. He's also in the rivals 250.
February 25th, 2009 at 1:22 PM ^
easily my favorite QB for '10 draft.
February 25th, 2009 at 1:54 PM ^
Taking into account he's still a junior in HS, does his size (5-11/167 lbs.) worry anyone? I think his offers tend to mitigate that somewhat, but do we know if he's being offered at QB or ATH from FSU, Miami, and TN?
February 25th, 2009 at 2:28 PM ^
I'm looking at your pic and feel like I am being Rick rolled...lol. No, on a serious note, you know you like a little like that singer dude who rick rolls everybody...you know who I am talking about...the rick roll dude from you tube?... lol..sorry couldn't resist.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:38 PM ^
your first instinct was correct, sir...you were in fact rick rolled
February 25th, 2009 at 7:22 PM ^
I was thinking more "Rick Astley-ed"
February 25th, 2009 at 3:02 PM ^
size at QB does not matter. See Chase Daniels, Todd Reesing for example. Both are shorter than 6' and are successful in spread offense.
Godfrey has the best arm out of anybody in '10 class. I think that he's 6' and 175 lbs so it's not that bad. If he is about 3 inches taller, he'd be talked about as the best QB in the country.
February 25th, 2009 at 2:22 PM ^
Lane Kiffin is such a broken arrow that I will disragard his perception of any recruit as the rantings of an idiot.
February 25th, 2009 at 3:06 PM ^
I am confused as to why TN would offer a mobile qb like Godfrey but pretty much run Tajh Boyd out of town.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:11 PM ^
is a head case. he told the coaching staffs at clemson, oregon, and ohio state that he was coming the night before signing day. he and his father also tried to dictate what type of offense would be run at whatever school he went to. hence his de-commitment (i'm not so sure they didn't withdraw his schollie) from WVU and UT sending him away.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:06 PM ^
the kid has an offer from the canes. I went to his bit on youtube and it starts off with a minute straight of pics of former cane QB's. Should this bother me at all or should I not worry about that.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:43 PM ^
Godfrey loves the U and has made comments about it being his "dream school." Now I know that doesn't mean he's a lock but Canes' fans feel confident about him. However, this is catch, he is being recruited by them as an athlete and not as a QB. This has likely caused UM to move to the top of the list. Now if the U came through with a QB offer would that change things? Don't know but my guess is it would be a lot harder decision for him.
(Again, this is not first hand, just what I have read off of various boards, including from Miami fans. If it's inaccurate, my bad.)
February 25th, 2009 at 4:47 PM ^
We managed to snag Denard with this, maybe Godfrey, and I think it will continue in the future. Most schools in the south will try and offer these players as athletes, but when Rodriguez offers them a chance to play QB this will continue to help in the future.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:07 PM ^
No offense, but I hate it when people call the University of Miami "the U," like they alone deserve to be called that. (What are we, the College of Michigan?)
February 25th, 2009 at 7:32 PM ^
It's not just because they are a University, but because their logo is a U and it's on the side of their helmets.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:58 PM ^
hmmmm are you sure about that? What are your sources?
February 26th, 2009 at 1:19 PM ^
No sources. In fact, I just made that up.
February 25th, 2009 at 10:06 PM ^
I am aware of the logo. I don't see why non-Miami people need to call them by that, though.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:14 PM ^
your sensibilities. I will from now on refer to them as the University of Miami, Florida. I didn't realize it was a hot button issue.
February 26th, 2009 at 1:21 PM ^
Same reason non-Michigan people call our stadium the Big House. Because it's an established and recognized nickname in college football.
February 26th, 2009 at 9:04 PM ^
You mean, it's a widely-recognized nickname among dorky ESPN-worshippers.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:08 PM ^
Not that anyone cares or anyone should, but it's actually the meteorological sign for a hurricane, not a U.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:21 PM ^
No it isn't. The Corolina Hurricanes logo is the symbol for a hurricane. I don't know what the hell Miami is supposed to be.
February 26th, 2009 at 8:24 PM ^
You mean the flag? That's not really a meteorological sign, is it? Just the beach sign?
February 26th, 2009 at 8:51 PM ^
No. If you ever go down south (or to a coast) you'll see it posted on the highways to mark evacuation routes as well.
Look at a weather map the next time they're tracking a hurricane.

I was just watching godfreys youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26TfWOLRfhw
Theres no question hes got a strong arm. He throws this one ball off of one foot, while scrambling that goes about 60 yards and hits the reciever nearly in stride. but they show a lot of clips of him over throwing recievers down field by significant margins. obviously its hard to know whether its a shitty video or whether that is a common occurrence for godfrey.
nonetheless i love his potential, but i hope accuracy is not a major weakness for him b/c weve all seen the effects of qb's missing open recievers.
February 25th, 2009 at 4:20 PM ^
When TheWolverine guys were in Florida, someone (I think maybe Josh?) noted that Godfrey had grown another inch, and was 6-0 180.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:18 PM ^

That is true so long as the ATH's get legit shots at competing at QB. Denard Robinson will be a great testament to that, when he is the no 2 qb to start the year and will likely see meaningful snaps at some point during the season.
If RR can continue to get one pure qb and another with ATH potential each year our depth should be strong in a couple years.
February 26th, 2009 at 12:00 PM ^
If they're offered to just play, and they have a specific position in mind and don't get it, will they be more likely to transfer?
It makes sense to me that if you play a specific position, you wouldn't talk to a school that doesn't have an opening. But if a coach is telling you "We'll see" and you sign up, you'd be more inclined to walk if you're not going to get the spot you though you would.
Sorry for the rambling.
February 25th, 2009 at 5:26 PM ^
Looking at his picture on Rivals, he seems to have very nice skin. No homo.
February 25th, 2009 at 7:46 PM ^
His high school is a 6A school in Dade county. As someone from that area, I know he plays against great competition. Always like that
