What's so impressive about Hendrix?

His mechanics are excellent for a guy that hasn't even started his senior campaign, arm strength is awesome -- he can really throw the deep ball, accuracy is amazing, he moves around in the pocket really well, and takes snaps from under center which is rare of a HS QB. Sets his feet before he throws, quick release. Not many things not to love about this kid.

I wasn't making a comment on how impressive or unimpressive I think Hendrix is. I'm just saying that he has an impressive offer list. A lot of top tier programs know about him and obviously think he has the talent. So he wouldn't be a "diamond in the rough".

Tops. Just wondering because he seems to be our collective back-up plan, all things considered.

Well we've offered quite a few QBs. Is he in the Heaps or Scroggins level?

I have him right below Scroggins on my list, but I like him better than I like Blake Bell by far. He's 6'3, 220 and runs a 4.7 40. He's faster than Scroggins. I think he fits our offense better than either Heaps or Scroggins for whatever that's worth, but they may be the better prospects.

I agree for the most part. I hold offers in higher regard than stars. Mainly our staff. USC and Alabama are great talent evaluators as well

Hendrix is much further along than Blake Bell. Bell is RAW. He has a lot of upside, but we want to be recruiting guys that are ready sooner rather than later and I can't see Bell being ready before a RS year and some further development. Also, he has flopped in a recent camp. Wasn't accurate, didn't display good arm strength.

And tell me how Heaps or Scroggins fits Kiffin's offense better than a guy that is 6'3" 220lbs and runs a faster 40 than Scroggins.

I'll be waiting.

I agree. Everyone assumes we take Hendrix as a #2 QB, but seriously this guy looks like he could be #1, IMO. He has the size, arm strength, good footwork, and moves really well. I am not sure I like him better than Heaps or Scroggins, but he is definitely running a close race. I hope we get him regardless of what other QB we sign.

They are better QBs, plain and simple. It doesn't matter if Hendrix is "perfect size" for the system if he can't perform in it. Hendrix threw 11 TDs and 7 INTs. Scroggins threw 23 TDs and 10 INTs and also has won 2 Combine MVPs this Spring. Heaps threw 31 TDs and 7 INTs as a sophmore and 38 TDs and only 4 INTs as a junior. Those numbers are sick. He is also undefeated as a starter with 2 state championships. Maybe I'm putting too much stock into what these 3 players have actually done of the field...

I agree. His tape is very impressive. I like him more than I like Austin Hinder. The only guys that I see that are options for us that are better or better suited for this offense are Heaps and Scroggins. I put Hendrix right behind those two. It's really hard to watch his video and not come away thinking "this guy could really play at this level."

Good point, how does the compitition for all three stack up?

Scroggins is still my favorite prospect followed up by Heaps and Hendrix/Newton.

Heaps prolly plays against the weakest competition and Scroggins plays against the best out in Cali. The competition that Hendrix plays against in Ohio is very good. None of the 3 play against rejects though...

That is about how I pictured it to be. I didn't think any of them played scrub opponents but stats and be skewed by the level on competition they play and players that they are surrounded by. IMO

I'm just saying that his size and the fact that he has a rocket arm fit Kiffin's style better than the other two. That's not to say the others may be better QB prospects, but to me Hendrix is a perfect fit for CLK's offense. I like Heaps and Scroggins just fine.

:) I can be a spelling Nazi too.:p

I do think you are putting too much stock into statistics though. The situations between the 3 could be completely different beyond competition.

There are many other factors you aren't considering about their statistics.

For instance, what type of offense each is playing in. The offense at Hendrix's high school is very run oriented. Hence he only threw for 1700 yards, 11 TD's, and 7 INT.

Or perhaps he didn't have a QB coach that was able to develop his talent, or an OC that properly utilized his talents. Way too many variables.

I trust the coaches' evaluations since they have seen his tape, seen him in person, and taped and reviewed their own footage. I think they trust Hendrix enough to be their #1 guy since they've already offered him.

Well said. That was kinda what I was referring to above.

I've always assumed he was in a run heavy system with those kind of numbers. The thing that really gets me is his TD to INT ratio. 7 INTs is alot of INTs when you've only threw 11 TDs. His decision making is what is worrying me...

From watching his video, it appears he trusts his arm too much on occasion which is true of many rocket armed QB's. Most of the time he gets away with it. That is a coachable thing though.
