Cool Story on 2011 huge recruit Conner Preston

Postby jackcdavis » Sat Jul 17, 2010 12:54 pm

Came across this interesting story ranking SMU commit Conner Preston as the 16th best player in California...this seems to be a great pull for Coach Jones...turning down Florida for SMU!

Good find.
In getting caught up too much with the measurables scouts often forget quarterback is the one position in sports where a players mental makeup is more important than his physical makeup.

Don't we know it.

This will all go well, until they decide to ask Coner if he can read and write. Then, down the drain it will go.

That's the spirit! I'm excited about seeing this guy play, too.

We don't know the specific reasons that the two players were denied admission, nor will we (per privacy laws). Without knowing specifics, it's misguided — not to mention counterproductive to players and recruits and their families who read this — to sit here and predict doom.

I agree - not every response needs to relate to the admissions issues. Give it a rest or put it on the related threads. Some of us do not want to revel in the misery 24 hours a day - it is ok if you do, but give some of us a break. Thanks.

It's really going to [deleted] you off when JJ wins big with guys that had offers like that...

...and, are you predicting Conner will be an "average" D1 player? ...and, would you rather have Franchione?

Leave it to Stallion to [deleted] in the punchbowl.

Sure, his offers are not top notch right now, but he has interest from a lot of great programs and will more than likely be receiving more offers before it's over.

Part of his gaudy stats are due to the fact that he is surrounded by blue-chip stars, but the guy led his team to an undefeated season ans state championship in the best football state besides Texas.

I'm definitely excited about Preston's commitment.

If he were 6'4", not 6'0" like Drew Brees, he'd have more offers...

Give him credit, he knows being a jerk gets him attention, not to mention, it's safe behind a keyboard. :wink:

Ahhh...all is well with the world. PonyFans.com is back to normal. :wink:

The kid that is the starting QB for SMU, Kyle something? I don't recall schools knocking down his door with offers, I think he might end up ok?! lol.
JJ has the eye for talent, let's leave it at that.
