Junior College Quarterback

[Ponymon]

Anyone have an idea whom Bennett is recruiting? He alluded to bringing in a JC Quarterback on his post game Boise State interview. :hmm:

if the rumor mill is correct and he is from Kansas then it might be Chad Wilmott 6-4, 210 from Butler Co. JC. Apparently he is leaning to Arkansas(but remember Brad Jones is only a Junior) but that's all I've heard about the teams interested in him. Coming into season he was a Presaeson 2nd Team JC ALL-American. He seems to be having a good year but info is sketchy. Rivals said he should have been easily voted JC Player of the Week a few weeks ago when the No. 1 and No.2 teams met. In that game he was 22-36 285 yards. Rivals said he was highly recruited out of high school so I don't know why he ended up in JC. He is a Pro-Style QB. This is speculation based upon the JC QBs listed in the Rivals Database. He is also listed in the Insiders who gives him 3 stars. Butler Co. is the No. 1 JC in America right now. Ilooked at some stats from about 5 of his games and he is about a 65% passer and I've seen games with 4, 4 and 3 TDs on only about 27 passes a game. Think they also have a very highly recruited RB too.

Grades maybe?

Who's the hotshot RB? We're not going after a JUCO RB are we?

[ALEX LIFESON]

yes...we are.

Wilmott's game by game #'s are at www.butlercc.edu. Only went 3-for-10 last night in Butler's 70-point performance in their season-closer. Seems the real stars of that offense line up behind him (500+ team rushing yards last night).

My guess is that Coach Bennett is recruiting more than one JUCO quarterback. But I admit, this Wilmott kid sounds pretty impressive.

[Duke Blue Blood]

Matt Jones, not Brad Jones is a Junior but he can not throw the ball. His back-up is a Senior I believe.

[OldPony]

Tell UT that he can't throw. He is a great playmaker. Maybe you didn't watch the last 1/4 of the Fla game? He is another Brad Smith.
Why do we think we will get a JC QB from Kansas? KSU always needs a QB and KU will be looking to replace one of the best in the US. Unlike SMU, KU's program is in the rise.

[giacfsp]

Doesn't Coach Bennett have a ton of connections at Kansas JUCOs from recruiting for K-State?

And yes, Matt Jones can throw. And run. And catch. He's a stud. If he ever worked hard at the game (his rep is that he's lazy), he'd be a first-round pick, according to some.

[Stallion]

the rumor mill says that Bennett has identified a particulat Kansas JUCO QB

[Stallion]

I'm bumping up this post because of the info on Wilmott who Rivals says has been recruited by SMU.

[Stallion]

thought I'd add that Wilmott was named the Jayhawk Junior College Conference Offensive MVP- and I believe is playing in the JC National Championship-this could be one reason his recruitment has been a tad slow since he can't visit.

Got any idea if he has some mobility, or just a big frame/arm?
