Got a Quarterback

Ok that isn’t as enticing especially when you see Sluka ranked ahead of him. Speaking of which Sluka is visiting Liberty and Memphis.

I'm shocked the shine hasn't worn off Sluka after this year.

Like I said Kiffin thought enough of him Ol Miss brought him in on a visit. So trusting he and Mullen's judgement here.
 
Both Hajj and Sluka had better stats before they arrived here than this kid. Probably because he played higher competition. Additionally - any way you evaluate it he throws WAYYYYYY to many INT's.

So on3 has him as 4 star 91 ovr, they have him as the 3rd best qb and 25th best transfer. You’re looking at the composite ranking from all services. 247 doesnt think as highly of him as on3 does. The composite has him at 30th qb and 315 in the portal.
On3 just updated their ratings and he’s now 7th on their list
 
Our QB was not a passer at all!
He was serviceable for a few games but by the end of the season he had games where he was 5-18?!

I hope this guy is better, seeing how he was playing ACC ball instead of at Campbell or Holy Cross!
The defense started pinning back their ears and going after our QB as the season progressed and his passing didn't!

They were in the FCS.

He was in ACC.

I think that plays a part in that.

Pitt, Syracuse and Mississippi all had him in for a visit so there's something there.

But the TD to INT ratio not great I agree.

He had two bad games to finish the season. Was otherwise good in the passing game.

One of the games you are using for your example he didn't have Ricky White! Or Casey Cain!

(Am I doing the exclamation points right?)

Not sure what you are looking at from the link I provided. Where are the 4 stars you speak of on this kid. They only show 3 stars.

I know about the other rankings and yes, I knew they were worse. But, people were talking about On3 so I was staying on context.

ON3 did have him as 4* a couple of days ago. Magic comes to UNLV and drops to 3*, what is new?

His schedule at Virginia was brutal.

Just his last 6 games went:

11/23, #13 SMU (L)
11/16, @ #8 Notre Dame (L)
11/9, @ #18 Pitt (W)
10/26, UNC (6-6 team) (L)
10/19, @ #10 Clemson (L)
10/12, Louisville (8-4 team) (L)

Yes, he lost all of those games, except 1. Yes he threw a lot of interceptions (13 TD to 11 Int). But he was also behind an O line that was shorter and lighter than UNLV's. He ate 39 sacks, which is 2 less than the 41 UNLV had this season. Except UNLV played 2 more games. I'll give him a chance. Behind a better O line, he'll make the plays we need. That being said, Mullen is far from done. We need 2 more.

In the link you provided, under where all the sorting options are, theres “on3 industry”, “on3 ranking” and “industry comparison” if you click “on3 ranking” it will show you the on3 rankings without taking other companies rankings into the equation. At this moment he’s a 90 overall 4 star according to on3 scouts.

I see what you are saying. They took their On3 ranking and added it to the 247 ranking and divided by two and they modified their original ranking to give him the 3 stars. That seems to make for a fair ranking. I like that they do that.

Sluka and Hajj were coming up in competition. He will be coming down in competition. If Mullen thinks he’s going to be a good fit for his system I trust him.
