to Lincoln up to next week instead of April for the Spring Game. Taking this as a very positive sign that he may commit before the class QB spot gets filled possibly by Gebbia. The future is looking bright Husker Nation! GBR!
Rivals Top 10 QB Jack Coan has moved his visit...
- Thread starter HuskerBorn
- Start date
Doubt they both pick N. Who ever picks N first gets the spot. (Though I think NU gets two QBs.)
These days two Rivals top 200 QB's don't usually pick the same school.
Regardless of how it plays out, can we just take a moment to appreciate that two bigtime QB recruits may be in a race to commit to Nebraska?
I'm a big fan of Jack Coan, something about that guy really impresses me, hard to put a finger on it, but here's some film to check out.
Heard the same thing that it may come down to who picks the Huskers first.
Makes this even more interesting on who pulls the trigger First.
Two words: Ball placement.
These aren't just *technically* completions. He's putting it right on the money for the WR to run after catch. It's not low and outside, it's not high and behind, it's not him tossing one into double coverage and just relying on inferior HS defenders to let him get away with it.
He is putting that piggy RIGHT where you want it to be.
Agreed, he is on the money. Also noticed his quick feet...He gets a quick 3-4 step drop and pulls the trigger in a hurry. No defenders are even close to him at the time of release most of the time. This kid could be really good with some coaching from DL! GBR!
Preach. QB recruiting has been mismanaged at Nebraska for a long time. Thank goodness we have a professional at the helm now.
Guys...just so you know...Long Island high school football is terrible. This does not mean a great player can't come out of LI. In fact, two of the first players that come to my mind from the area were QBs including Heisman winner Vinny Testaverde. However, when watching Coan's film keep in mind he is playing against competition that is basically the equivalent of the JV team in some other states.
Does it have something to do with his ability to throw it to the right color jersey? I like that to!!
I don't think the competition level has anything to do with ball placement. Maybe for Backs and Linemen that may just out man the other guys it does.
If you had our issues the last few years, you'd be excited over ball placement as well!
It's clear to see he's abusing some hapless teams in his film, but you can't fake a perfect ball on a 15-20 yard flag route. We're talking about his mechanics, not his stats.
Watch how he keeps his feet firing and how he climbs the pocket. Those things aren't a product of inferior competition, that's his individual technique.
Word.
Especially considering we landed a big time QB this cycle. Wonderng whether we get one or both targets this year is a hell of a good problem.
I don't think you really understand how weak the competition is. If he was playing in say Fla he might be going up against schools that have upwards of half a dozen future FBS players on their Ds. I would be surprised if you told me he even faced a single FBS recruit all of last year. What you can't tell from that film is how his mechanics, accuracy, decision making, etc. looks when he is going against players that can at least make him a bit uncomfortable, make him throw over people, into tighter windows, etc. I'm not saying he wouldn't look great against tougher competition...just saying we don't know.
What I am saying is that sometimes kids can look like total different players once the competition gets a little better.
I tend to agree. Honestly. There is more physicality on film watching Norfolk Catholic vs Wahoo Neumann in Nebraska C1.... However, Coan's skill set is high level. What you can't gauge about him is his ability to avoid legit pass rushers. A QB like O'Brien or Gebbia has faced high level talent in opposing front 7's. They've shown the ability to evade a rush without turning into Shane Morris from Michigan. Honestly... And this scares me, But Can kind of reminds me of Morris... Aka... Laser Arm.
Laser Rocket might be the greatest 7on7 qb in history...if only football wasn't played 11on11 with guys in pads...
Funny, he is one of the examples I was thinking but didn't go there because I don't want to make it seem I was saying Coan is going to be a bust...my only point is that a against that level of competition it's harder to evaluate some things
Looks like he's visiting Wisconsin this weekend.

projecting QB play from high school to D1 and then D1 to the NFL is a crapshoot. You do your evaluation and then go get one of your top prospects. How your QB recruits in past classes have developed or not developed determines if you take a second QB - usually this ends up being a lower ranked kid.
Bo recruited a bunch of 4* QBs that were busts - someone before mentioned Harrison Beck. Joe Ganz his senior year completed 69% of his passes with 25 TDs (11 ints).
for the future we have POB, the Tulane transfer and this years QB recruit - we need one ready to play at a high level

Just give me a qb who does not throw off his back foot across the field into double coverage and I will be happy.
Summary of thread: He may or may not live up to his ranking.
Can be said about every other prospect in the history of mankind.

What I do know is he is athletic and can scramble and throw on the run. It's obvious he has absolutely no protection and yet he still gets it out nicely. On his Twitter there are also several videos of him doing drills and I see his quick feet and good mechanics in those drills.
