Here are some high school highlights of Jordan Reever. Scroll down to the end of the story and there are 4 different videos to choose from. He was at the practice that I was at and someone on the team said that a coach stated that he would start if he came......that being said, who knows, people say a lot of things.

Well, it is a highlight reel. But a nice one nonetheless. From everything I see and read, this kid looks a good prospect. It also looks like he might fall into our laps. I don't see how we pass it up. But if he is the penciled in starter in '06 and '07, what would be the plan for Phillips? He is too good an athlete to languish on the bench.

no dooby, he is not "too good" to sit. if he is given the opportunity to play another position or sit on the bench as a back up QB and he chooses not to change positions, then he needs to be sitting.

he is no shoe-in to start in 2006 over any of our recruited QBs. BTW if he was so great why didn't we offer him in 2004. Looks like to me it was between walking on at LSU or going to Texas State. If he was such a super-star recruit at a position we had been terrible at for 15 years you'd think we might have taken a chance. If you read his Rivals "blurbs" those big time "offers" seemed to magically evaporate at crunch time. Let's not make Jordan Reever into the next great Bamba Falls Legend. He looks like a decent prospect not necessaily the next Joe Namath.

Too much time between now and then to be guessing who would start....this reever kid hasn't even said he is coming here yet. And the player that told me that Reever would start - a coach could have easily just have said that to get Reever to come to SMU. Who knows, doesn't matter.
Hopefully by then Phillips will be throwing a great ball and be the stud that many have predicted that he would turn out to be.

Changing positions is what I meant. More precisely, he is a tremendous athlete and it would be a shame to have him be a backup QB on the bench and was sort of floating it out there that he could play another position. I am sorry I offended you.

And Stallion is right. He hasn't done anything yet. But then, that is not much less than our current QB's. Regardless, after next season we will need the depth.

"Jordan Reever, the 6-2, 195-pound quarterback from South Garland High School who threw for 19 touchdowns and 1,717 yards despite missing five games last season to injury, visits Provo this weekend as one of only three official recruiting trips...........

Apart from Syracuse, the first to offer him a scholarship, offers were also extended by Maryland, Boise State, UTEP........"

Can't quite tell, but throws a lot like Eric Crouch or Scott Frost (shotput style)...

Lets also not forget we just signed a rivals three star QB in Justin Willis. Hopefully Bennett is smarter than to just anoint Reever as the starter in 2006 without letting it be played out in practice.

Also watching those clips there isn't one throw that he had to/did put some zip on the ball...everything was long arching tosses. Seems to have great touch on the ball though.

he is also only 6-1 according to the LSU roster last year-which is probably another reasons some teams backed off.

Seems to me like we need to be focusing more on why our current QB's can't stand in the pocket and throw rather than looking for another guy to get sacked. Just a thought.

Just a stupid thought.

Kiss off, sunshine.

That's a professional response.

As professional as was called for.
