Interesting. Kid looks pretty good on film.

Is he going to get a offer from us? ECU, K St., and Kentucky are his top 3.

I can tell you the main reason this kid isn't more highly recruited. His arm is weak. I don't think he can throw over 40 yards and even there he is not very accurate. He "pushes" the ball on every throw. His receivers made some serious plays on the ball in his film and made him look good. Those are some pretty darn good WRs he's working with. I'm left wondering if any of them are being recruited.

USC did well with Leinhart. Sometimes it's not about being able to throw it 40 yards at a time. If we had a guy that could throw it 30 yards at a time and be deadly accurate, I would be extremely happy.

Please correct me if I am wrong but he did not attend any camps. I am just curious how much of an impact that has had on his reruitment?

I believe his recruiter at K State (Chris Cosh) is his father.

Even if we wanted this kid, he would probably be hard to get.

Leinhart didn't push the ball when he threw and his arm was much stronger than this guy. Also much more accurate.

I think that one thing that people forget is that kids are still kids. They're still in high school, they haven't been coached by our coaches, and in some cases, may not have been coached by anyone that knew what they were doing.

We may just be looking at a natural talent, and someone who has gotten where he has gotten with just his own work.

If someone has ability, and is willing to be coached, they can always get better. Any mechanical problems can be fixed. We need someone with natural ability. If someone is already a polished quarterback coming out of high school, then great. Most aren't.

I'm hoping whatever quarterback we get will be a good game manager. Don't care if he's a superstar. Just smart with the ball and doesn't cause turnovers with bad decisions.

You don't get it. There are some guys that just cannot play QB at the level required in the SEC. Actually there are MANY guys that fit that description. You have to look at their abilities first and say, can he make the throws we need him to make? Does he have tools that we can work with to make him more effective? Is he flexible enough? Can he handle it mentally? Does his release spell danger in the pocket -- meaning, is it too slow, too low, or too awkward and can he develop the strength required to play QB at this level?

A guy that pushes the ball has a very slow release which causes all sorts of problems. More interceptions, more batted balls, questionable accuracy.

The kid's arm isn't terrible. It can get stronger. he will be one to watch as the season progresses. I don't think he will be the one Tennessee takes, but I don't think he'll be a bad pickup at all for someone.

Yeah he does! I'm surprised he doesn't have more offers. He must play some pretty weak competition.

Take it for what it's worth, Billy is a true D1 talent.

I've watched him play every game - kid has a monster arm and throws with accuracy and zip. Full disclosure - my son was one of his WR (#2 on the film and playing at Syracuse this season).

The biggest knock on Billy is his height - 6'1". He has decent speed and has a feel for pressure in the pocket - think he took less than 10 sacks in 13 games. One of his offensive lineman weighed all of 175 lbs.

In terms of opponent talent - He completely outdueled Ray Cotton head to head - threw for close to 400 yards and 5 TDs in that game.

Against one of the top teams in Maryland (Linganore) loaded with D1 prospects (Zwinak and Havenstein to name a couple) Billy shattered single game records with most attempts, most completions, and most yards passing in a game. Here's the box score from that game:

2008 Arundel Football Arundel v. Linganore

With his current offers, it wouldn't surprise me a bit to see him land at Kentucky and have the opportunity to play in the SEC.

Yes.

Chris Cosh, who has spent the last three seasons at Maryland leading the Terrapin defense, enters his first season as Assistant Head Coach and Co-Defensive Coordinator for the Wildcats. Cosh, who will have now served as a defensive coordinator in four of the six BCS conferences, will also oversee the linebacker position at K-State, a position he held under Snyder in 2004 and 2005.

Cosh and his wife, Mary, have two sons, J.J., who is a member of the football team at the United States Naval Academy, and Billy, a senior in high school.
