Next SMU Signal Caller?

Well, not to go off topic and talk about the player who this thread is about and not the value of a BBA, but the thing to know about this kid is that as a junior, his WRs were:

Robert Woods - 2010 5 Star WR, Scouts #1 WR who signed with USC
Paul Richardson - 2010 4 Star WR, Scouts #22 WR who signed with UCLA
George Farmer - 2011 5 Star WR, Scouts #2 WR

And the played in a lower division in southern ca. Not that this kid is not talented and that I know more than June Jones, but man those guys can make a QB look good.

Excellent, let's land him too.

Gee, I wonder how the ball got to them?

But mrydel, to be fair, I saw Stephen McGee and Jordan Shipley play together in high school, and watching them, it was clear to me that Shipley was a great WR and McGee was simply an adequate QB (I questioned if he had what it takes to be a D-1 QB, and he did turn out to be a decent QB at A&M - but it was as more of a running QB than he was in HS when the Burnet HS playbook was "McGee chunks the ball 30 yards downfield with a lot of loft, Shipley runs underneath it, catches it, makes the first tackler miss and then uses his speed to score a TD").

Now, I'm not suggesting that C. Preston doesn't have what it takes, because I haven't seen him play in person, and I'm pretty inclined to trust June Jones' scouting reports. Just saying that Dwan's point that receivers can make QBs look good is a valid one.
