+2 and good write up. CHIP KELLY is one of if not THE BEST spread offensive coaches in the country so I have NO PROBLEM trusting him with players he recruits. He has to see something special in little johnny!!! No way does he offer Johnny a QB schollie if he wasn't high on him. I'm excited, he sounds like a gamer! GOOOOOOOOOOO DUCKS!!!

1. Mariota & Manziel were here at either the same time or within a few days of each other. Coaches got to see both these kids up close & personal, but it was Manziel who is now committed. I bet they either told Marcus they were going in another direction or they knew the kid was high on UW, thus weren't going to wait around while he picked the Dawgs. We have no way of knowing which of the 2 they preferred, but given what Manziel has already accomplished, my bet is on him.
They were definitely here at the same time and got a lot of work side by side with the staff. Chip and Helfrich got this one right.

Did you see them perform? If so, what were your impressions of each of them?

I thought they were both here at the same time, but wasn't 100% sure. Thanks Cota.

Great find for an Athlete. He looks like Maehl in terms of speed and the way he runs. Not sure about his cannon though.

The highlights we've seen of him are from his SO year and had only moved to QB after the starter had been suspended. This means he's had another full year at QB. I would like to see his JR highlights, but I already feel that they'll be more impressive. I was reading his stats and they said he had a 99-yard run in one game.

Love that fact that he is coming for Spring next year. That is huge for young QB's and WR.
