Would Oregon want this type of prospect at QB?

Post by woundedknees »

Not that the Ducks are in the picture, but, check out Jameis Winston, a top ranked dual-threat QB who just happens to be (Possibly) a better prospect as a baseball player.... And sounds as if he wants to pursue both in college.

If you're going to recruit Jameis Winston, don't recruit him as a quarterback alone.
Ranked the No. 2 quarterback and the No. 23 prospect in the nation for the Class of 2012 by Scout.com, Winston wants a future in two sports -- as the on field general in football and as an outfielder/closer in baseball.

Rivals lists him at 6'4"/200... Winston claims a 4.6/40, and a 34" vertical.

"This guy is extremely talented, but also extremely raw. Winston has loads of upside not just as a dual-threat guy, but also as a passer that can beat you from within pocket if he continues to develop that side of his game."

you did all that work and there is a 0.0 percent chance of him coming. why do that? if the kids smart and he's a very high round baseball prospect, you go baseball. he has 2 or so years that he can come back to college football if baseball fails

Why the hell do you care how someone else spends their time? For a guy that spends a lot of time on message boards you sure seem to hate them. Why else would you criticize every thread?

Well it's their time to waste so it's not really hurting anyone else.

Not everybody works that slow... And frankly, it was to generate discussion.

I don't think most QB can effectively compete to the best of their ability, while also trying to compete for a starting spot of any kind on a decent D-1 baseball team.

I don't view it as a waste of time...This kid will be a star in either sport so why not get to know him before he stars in college somewhere

The answer to the actual question is yes...
CK was recruiting Winston hard for a long while.
