Just watched the video on him and though I didnt read through all the posts, the most impressive thing about him to ME was his ability to hit receivers on the roll out and on the run. Sorry for joining the party late, Ive been on the Scroggins bandwagon til now...hope theres still room on this train now. :dance2:

He is labeled as a DT because he is quick and elusive, but he is more of a pure-pocket passer than a running QB.

thats right but some people got panties ruffled because I siad I liked him better than anyone we have offerd, heard everything from he dosent fit our system (when i bet they dont really know what the system is) to his mechanics are not that great (hes as good as anyone now with non perfect mechanics and will be better when our staff gets ahold of him)

im gona expect some real ass kissing when he blows em away at camp next week!!! j/k bout the ass kissing part.

I am a big fan of Munchie's... He is thin, but he has a big arm, a quick release, and I was very impressed with him at our combine in New Orleans.

He needs to gain weight and he can work on making quicker decisions in the pocket, but I like how he throws in the 3, 5, and 7 step drop plus I like how he throws on the run. He throws the quick slant well and he throws the deep ball well.

IMO, Munchie is underrated, but I plan to fix that when we update the rankings in June.

This was a post on Scout from Chad Simmons back when we first offered Munchie... I don't know about Rivals, but you can expect Munchie to shoot up the Scout ratings next month...

On his "Top 5" board, NYC has Munchie ahead of Hendrix, but behind Scroggins, Heaps, and Brunetti....

His top 5 board is not who he thinks the best prospects are.

Also it's too bad for Munchie that other schools aren't as sold on him as a pocket passer as some guy on Scout is.

QBs just arent situational. You aren't going to pull the guy out who led you all the way down the field.

About the closest thing you'll see is when OSU puts Pryor in as a WR near the goal line and has the backup coming in.

Tebow was a situational QB his fresman year. Worked out pretty well for Florida.

I think it's possible to have success rotating quarterbacks if (and only if) they have vastly different strengths/playing styles to bring to the game.

Leak/Tebow worked because Tebow was essentially a FB playing QB that year. Ainge/Schaeffer worked in 2004 since Ainge was a pocket passer and Schaeffer was a scrambler.

You run into trouble when the two you are rotating bring the same skill set. In that case, you have two QB with less experience against a defense that doesn't have to adjust what it is doing.

Prime example of this: Ainge/Rick Clausen in 2005.

And we pulled a WR to run a spread option with G. Jones for what?
There's no reason Kiffin can't use his mobility in redzone or goal line situations during his freshman year (remember Tebow his freshman year?)

LSU did it often with Perriloux.

You don't do it, huh? We did it...UF did it...and LSU's done it

And what did running the G Gun do for us? Absolutely nothing.

Theres a difference in sticking Tebow in on 4th and 1 to just cram it up the middle than there is putting a decent passer and a good athlete in once you get in the redzone.

Thats so much different than just putting a guy in once he gets in the redzone.

Pretty much this. I'd probably take out the Ainge/Scheaffer thing though, just because that didn't exactly work out.

Are Scroggins/Hendrix/Heaps and Munchie different enough that you can justify taking one of them out in the redzone to put Munchie in? Unless Munchie adds about 40 pounds or starts running 4.3s, I don't think so.

Leinart wasn't the QB during the Kiffin days.
Click to expand...

Kiffin and Leinart went to USC the exact same year. Leinart was redshirted in 2001 and Kiffin was hired as the TE coach. In 2002, Leinart was a RS Fresh and backed up Palmer while Kiffin was promoted to WR coach. In 2003, Leinart became the starter and led the Trojans to a National Championship. In 2004, Leinart won the Heisman and another National Championship while Kiffin was the WR coach and named as the passing game coordinator. In 2005, Norm Chow left for the Titans and Orgeron went to Ole Miss. Carroll then promoted Kiffin to offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator while also holding onto duties as the WR coach for Leinart's senior year...

Yes he was. Kiffin was Passing Game Coordinator in 04 when Leinhart won the Heisman and the NC, and he was OC in 2005 when they went to another BCSCG. Here were Leinhart's stats when Kiffin was directly involved...


  • 2004: 269/412 (65.3%) for 3322 yards and 33 TD vs. 6 INT. 49 carries for -44 yards and 3 TD.
  • 2005: 283/431 (65.7%) for 3815 yards and 28 TD vs. 8 INT. 51 carries for 36 yards and 6 TD.

The G Gun made a number of big plays...see the SECC game 2 yrs ago...LSU couldn't stop it, and had we run it til they did, the outcome would likely have been much different.
I just gave you some examples of how a situational QB can help a team...like us, in the kid's first year. Other teams have done it, including us...effectively. Nobody said he HAS to be brought in every time we cross the 20. Silly way to try and paint the discussion in order to salvage a losing hand

Brent Hubbs on whether Munchie has been offered as an athlete or a QB:

I think it depends on what he looks like at camp. Munchie thinks he is a quarterback and the feelings this spring has been that he is a better quarterback than some thought he would be.

From X on Legaux:
Munchie Legeaux, 6'4" 190 lbs, Edna Karr High School, New Orleans, LA
4-Star Dual Threat QB/Athlete. Right now, UT is recruiting him as a QB. His goal is to convince our staff that he has the potential to play QB in the SEC
