Maty Mauk to Missouri

Jarron Jones pulls back his verbal from Penn St after his visit to South Bend.

I just read about this Maty Mauk kid... and shit. 69 TDs and 14 INTs last year? Throughout his HS career he has passed for 13,519 yards, 151 TDs/47 INTs and 35 rushing TDs. Anybody know anything about this kid's skill set or the offense/team he played on?

This video is all I got but it's pretty exciting.

Not a ton of big time offers. Basically he chose between ND, Mizzou, and Illinois. Kelly offered him as a Soph at Cincy. Carried the offer over to when he came to ND. Ohio State was sniffing around a while ago. Drew a lot of interest but it didn't translate into a ton of offers. He was considered an ND lock around the new year because Kelly had a great relationship with Mauk's older brother Ben.

ND picked up Golson and Hendrix emerged a bit and ND cooled on Mauk a bit.

3* recruit. Concerns about his size, speed, and skill set transitioning over to the college game.

Played in a relatively weak division of Ohio Football. Doesn't have the :fap: factor he had a few months ago in terms of buzz around a recruit but a really nice get for Mizzou and the system they run.

Al Golden doing the Mack Brown

GoldenAl is doing the...

11 Local (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) kids.
6 In-State Non-Local kids.
4 Out-of-State kids.

At least 3-of-4 OOS kids attended a GoldenAl camp.
At least 4-of-6 In-State Non-Local kids attended a GoldenAl camp.
(could be more, just unsure if a few kids actually attended and worked out at a camp).

At least 8 commitments are a direct result of an offer coming after a big time performance at one of our camps. Several others have been big on some of Mike Bakas' camps and the 7-on-7 scene.

He's making it a premium on guys he has seen live and in color. He's awarded 8 scholarships to kids who have succeeded at our camps.

I really like the way this class looks so far.

IF, and its a big IF...GoldenAl and his staff are maintaining the same level of coaching they did at Temple, we will be good moving forward.

Michigan lures five-star OL prospect Kyle Kalis from Ohio State

Ohio State's recruiting difficulties are becoming Michigan's gain on the recruiting trail. The biggest tangible swing came Monday when offensive tackle Kyle Kalis committed to the Wolverines.

Kalis, who is rated as Rivals.com's No. 4 offensive tackle prospect and the No. 18th player overall, becomes the highest-ranked recruit among the 19 commitments received in Wolverines coach Brady Hoke's first full recruiting class.

A former Ohio State commitment under ex-coach Jim Tressel, the 6-foot-5, 302-pounder was among the most vocal supporters of sticking with his Buckeyes commitment. But as the tide turned and the NCAA allegations mounted, Kalis decommitted.

"I can't go there and take penalties for something I never did," Kalis told ESPN.com on Monday. "Ohio State is a great program. I'm just not sure how long it will take them to recover. I want a solid, grounded coaching staff with a safe environment. Where there aren't such tough questions."

Jameis Winston

Jameis Winston, 5 star high school QB from Alabama, is scheduled to make his announcement for his school of choice at 4:30PM today on ESPNU CFB Blitz. This battle should come down to Florida State and Alabama.

Jimbo Fisher seems to be writing "How to have the top recruiting class in America despite taking less than 25 commitments for dummies." Today's chapter is QB Jameis Winston of Alabama (top dual threat QB in America) will decide today between FSU, Alabama, and LSU. We expect FSU. (announcement at 3PM).

I'm just sayin'...Miami's class is lookin damn good right now.

Jameis Winston
Ht: 6'3" | Wt: 190 lbs
24/7

#1 Dual-Threat Quarterback
Scout

#2 Quarterback
Rivals

#1 Dual-Threat Quarterback
ESPN

#1 Quarterback
High School: Hueytown (Bessemer, AL)

Jameis has very few flaws to his game. He's rated the best dual-threat quarterback in the nation. He passed for over 2300 yards and rushed for another 800 in his 13 game junior season. He only threw three interceptions on the year. His arm strength is good, his running ability is tremendous, and his leadership is one of the most impressive things about his game. During the summer, he was paired up and was buddy-buddy with what could be his future mentor EJ Manuel at the Elite 11 QB camp. His accuracy might be his one downfall. Still, he was the best QB at the Elite 11 camp, and Jimbo Fisher is getting a good one.

The only downside to Winston is the potential that he could play pro baseball. He has the potential to be drafted high and stiff the college team he signs with, e.g. Joe Mauer. He could also play baseball in the spring, and football in the fall. Nick Saban is against his QBs playing any other sport, this probably helped lead Winston to pick Florida State. Nonetheless, this is a great signing for Florida State, and the highest rated QB signing for FSU since 2004 with Xavier Lee (hope I didn't just jinx it).

 

[KnightNoles]

I doubt he ever touches the field. The money from baseball will be too good for him to pass up.

I tend to agree with this statement since I haven't really read much about him and his skills in each sport. Like the second quote 1st sentence says, Joe Mauer...

It will come down to the money or which sport he loves the most if it is football

 

[Realist]

I agree with you both. I'm not that excited that he'll ever touch the field for the Noles. I hope they are looking at another QB since they wanted to take 2 this year.

Well we received a commitment from Mcguire a 4star from around North East, I can't remember everything but we do have another QB commitment. Plus they have Jacob Coker from this past years class

I know but I read that Fisher wanted to take 2 QB's this year. Supposedly Secord will transfer so 2 QB's might be needed. I thought Mcguire was a 3*? Not that stars even matter cause Coker was a 3 star and I think he will be a player.
