He's a Tallahassee LB without an offer from any of the Florida schools. He and Orebo are worth schollies but Gbenda is not, see?

Must've been a real fight pulling Lee from... checks notes Florida A&M. 

Apparently he’s a player, but he’s a functional retard. They’ve got themselves caught up in a bit of the ol’Florida Fix. If he pulls himself together and miraculously makes the grades, then the local schools will have a high interest and that will matter. If he doesn’t get his shit together, the signing has negative value for little Jimbo Aggins.

It's a big risk to take the kid, and an even bigger risk if they're willing to punt on Gbenda's recruitment this early. Maybe the Mack comparison will prove more and more true.

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to say that.

From Perroni when they thought they had a chance with others 

Quote

Gunnell would probably be at the top but not likely to A&M. Graham Mertz and Jayden Daniels would be 2A/2B. Next would be Michael Johnson Jr. He's a Miami lean, though. Then Zach Calzada, but he needs to throw on campus first

His thoughts on Elite 11 QBs 

The Elite 11 Finals kicks off today and runs through Sunday in Redondo Beach, California. The annual event features some of the best high school quarterbacks in the nation receiving one-on-one instruction and participating in multiple competitions for the right to be considered a member of one of the most prestigious clubs for high school signal-callers.

The event features 24 quarterbacks from around the country, and they will endure a three-span of on-field drills, as well as off-field instruction. Of those 24 athletes, several are players who Texas A&M has been in contact with and is keeping an eye on throughout the 2019 recruiting cycle.

Here are 10 players to watch between today and Sunday. All names are listed in alphabetical order.

Zach Calzada

Hometown/school: Buford, Georgia/Lanier HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-3, 195 pounds

247Sports rank: No. 13 pro-style QB, No. 411 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 19 pro-style QB, No. 615 player overall

Commitment status: Uncommitted

Calzada is a 3-star prospect with 39 reported offers. Texas A&M offered him on May 17 and recently told GigEm247 he is interested in making a visit to the campus sometime in June. 
Calzada threw for 1,706 yards and 15 touchdowns as a junior. North Carolina State is a team to watch in his process, as is Northwestern.

Jayden Daniels

Hometown/school: San Bernadino, California/Cajon HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-3, 190 pounds

247Sports rank: No. 1 dual-threat QB, No. 111 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 2 dual-threat QB, No. 78 player overall

Commitment status: Uncommitted

Daniels put up monster numbers as a junior, and he's expected to put up even bigger numbers for his senior year. Daniels threw for 5,139 yards and 62 touchdowns and also rushed for 1,292 yards and 15 scores. He was offered by Texas A&M on April 5, but UCLA and USC are the schools believed to be the Aggies' biggest competition.

Ty Evans

Hometown/school: Monument, Colorado/Palmer Ridge HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-2, 192

247Sports rank: No. 12 pro-style QB, No. 369 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 17 pro-style QB, No. 423 player overall

Commitment status: Committed to Colorado

Evans committed to Arkansas as a sophomore but decommitted in November. He then committed to Colorado in January and has said he's solid with his pledge. Evans, however, is still a prime target for Texas A&M and several other schools, including Michigan and Ole Miss. Evans threw for 3,627 yards and 42 touchdowns as a junior. He was offered by Texas A&M on Feb. 16.

Grant Gunnell

Hometown/school: Houston/St. Pius X HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-6, 222 pounds

247Sports rank: No. 2 pro-style QB, No. 109 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 3 pro-style QB, No. 97 player overall

Commitment status: Uncommitted

Few quarterbacks have thrown for as many yards as Gunnell in a three-year span. He has 11,356 passing yards and 142 touchdowns under his belt, including 4,936 yards and 61 
touchdowns his junior year. A one-time Texas A&M commit, Gunnell is thought to be leaning toward Arizona and joining former Aggie head coach Kevin Sumlin -- who he originally committed to.

Ryan Hilinski

Hometown/school: Orange, California/Orange Lutheran HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-4, 222 pounds

247Sports rank: No. 6 pro-style QB, No. 188 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 6 pro-style QB, No. 165 player overall

Commitment status: Committed to South Carolina

Hilinski has all the tools -- good size, a strong arm and a will to win -- to be a special quarterback at the college level. He threw for 3,749 yards and 33 touchdowns, and he completed 70 percent of his passes while throwing only six interceptions. Hilinski committed to South Carolina on April 4 but added a Texas A&M offer on March 25.

Michael Johnson Jr.

Hometown/school: Eugene, Oregon/Sheldon HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-2.5/192 pounds

247Sports rank: No. 13 dual-threat QB, No. 672 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 4 dual-threat QB, No. 199 player overall

Commitment status: Uncommitted

Johnson on May 3 announced a top seven of North Carolina State, Arizona State, Nebraska, LSU, Oregon, Penn State and Miami. Four days later, he was offered by Texas A&M and has since spoken highly about Jimbo Fisher and receivers coach Dameyune Craig. In three high school seasons, Johnson has thrown for 5,565 yards and 69 touchdowns and has rushed for 1,878 yards and 28 scores.

Roschon Johnson

Hometown/school: Port Neches, Texas/Port Neches-Groves HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-1, 192 pounds

247Sports rank: No. 7 dual-threat QB/No. 415 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 5 dual-threat QB/No. 200 player overall

Commitment status: Committed to Texas

Johnson is believed to be a firm commit to Texas. The Aggies offered on Dec. 1, 2016, during the stint of the old coaching staff. Johnson's ability to beat you with his legs is just as imposing as his arm strength. His stats are intriguing: He threw for 2,918 yards and 35 touchdowns and also rushed for 1,627 yards and 29 touchdowns as a junior.

Graham Mertz

Hometown/school: Leawood, Kansas/Blue Valley North HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-3, 205 pounds

247Sports rank: No. 7 pro-style QB, No. 192 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 5 pro-style QB, No. 145 player overall

Commitment status: Committed to Wisconsin

A lot has been said about Mertz regarding his commitment to Wisconsin. While he has said on several occasions that he is firm with the Badgers, it's no secret that several schools -- Texas A&M included -- are trying to flip the talented signal-caller. He threw for 3,684 yards and 45 touchdowns as a junior and will remain a topic of discussion among Texas A&M fans until signing day.

Spencer Rattler

Hometown/school: Phoenix/Pinnacle HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-2, 180 pounds

247Sports rank: No. 3 pro-style QB/No. 113 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 1 pro-style QB/No. 42 player overall

Commitment status: Committed to Oklahoma

Texas A&M offered Rattler under the old staff back in January 2016, but Rattler ultimately committed to Oklahoma on June 27 of last year. In three varsity seasons, Rattler has thrown for 9,220 yards and 93 touchdowns. His junior season included 3,946 passing yards and 45 touchdowns, and he completed 65 percent of his passes.

Shae Suiaunoa

Hometown/school: Houston/ Clear Lake HS

Height, weight: 6-foot-2, 184 pounds

247Sports rank: No. 79 ATH/No. 858 player overall

247Sports Composite rank: No. 73 ATH/No. 839 player overall

9COMMENTS

Commitment status: Uncommitted

An event like the Elite 11 Finals is the perfect opportunity for Suiaunoa to prove that he is a "quarterback" rather than an "athlete." He doesn't have a Texas A&M offer, but he was on campus on May 25 and is building a good relationship with Fisher, offensive coordinator Darrell Dickey and the rest of the staff. Suiaunoa threw for 2,274 yards and 23 touchdowns and rushed for 801 yards and eight scores last season.

Sorry, Hill. Someone accidentally called him Tarian Lee in a thread and now it's stuck like that in my head.

It's not like I'd seen him on any "Best of" lists before his aggy visit...

EDIT: Goddammit it is Lee. He's exactly as inconsequential as this name kerfuffle implies.

What makes it funnier is that it was an Aggy fan that messed up Lee's name originally.

Hamm Lite has a long article interviewing Medley's High School coach, singing his praises. etc ...   but the best part is that since he's committed every fucking Aggy has been leading the "He's an OT" charge and pissed as fuck when anyone mentions that he's a fucking OG. 

Now that his high school coach said this ... 

Quote

 

Though it is not the position he was recruited to play, Medley's versatility extends a little bit further and makes him an even more valuable prospect.

"Nobody has seen this, but he could play center too," Mincy said. "We work him out there. We make all our linemen work there in practice and he could definitely do that at the next level if needed. I just need him to protect the backside more." 

 

they are amped about his ability to play C (or better,  ALL FIVE SPOTS ACROSS THE OLine.) 

 

so very predictable.

I believe Calzada was either 19th or 20th heading into the last 7 on 7 completion at Elite 11 

He's supposed to have a big arm, but supposed to be a slow processor 

Well thankfully he "lacks espcability" according to Perroni. 

So he can't find the open receiver quickly and can't run. With Aggy OL, that should work out well.
