Glad to have him. He needs to show up every day 15 minutes early and ready to work on everything. How bad does he want to start and win as an FBS QB?
He certainly has the running skills and can sling it. Not many int’s in high school, 60% completions, nice QBR each season. If they are successful with running the football, really successful, then he could do well going deep. Excited to see him with the ball in his hands flashing Green and Gold
“Micah is one of those that I think was still adjusting, coming off a COVID year, now he’s in a new place, new offense. There’s just — he had a lot of things swirling, I think, a lot of things going on, a lot of things new this spring. I thought he had a lot of good moments, did some really good things, was productive in the spring game.”
“He’s a talented kid,” Riley said. “He is a guy that we would potentially look at, with his athleticism, to see where he could help the team. And he’s been a team-first guy. But there’s still certainly a plan for quarterback here in his future, and with his talent, I’m excited to see how he continues to grow. Because I don’t think we’ve seen near the best of him yet.”
So what is going on with Crouch? Anyone know anything. Last I heard, he committed and was maybe ineligible. Is that the case? Is he still coming here? I don’t see him on the roster.
Poggi’s staff has done a lot of things outside the norm. We have way too many players on the roster (I counted 115 or so last time I checked), and only some (most) of our recruits were actually announced by the school. I think there are a bunch of other guys playing based on NIL money rather than a scholarship. We only announced the scholarship signees (ironically signing a “NLI”). The whole system is in a grey area right now with NIL rules being so loose / unenforced. Since the NIL guys don’t get announced by the school, it’s easier for them to slide under the radar, though we certainly did our damnedest to catch all of them.
So the cliff notes are: we appear to have a mix of both NIL and NLI players, and I honestly don’t want to poke too deep. Will just trust the staff to deal with all that.
you guys do a great job of keeping everything updated on recruiting/commits. I’m sure it’s here somewhere but is there an updated full list of 2023 commits, including HS and Transfers?
I can piece it together from early and late spreadsheets which are posted earlier in the thread. Little tied up at work, but I can try to do it in a bit.
Yeah they are doing a much better job for 2024. That said they don’t have the German players, etc. Check the 2024 thread… And I will add this week’s commits soon.
2023 was a mess though with all the roster turnover and the late additions, and not all of the players being declared by the school come signing day. Plus the services did a lousy job even tracking us for that recruiting year.
thanks. Yeah, 2023 seems to be very incomplete on 247 with a lot of significant pieces missing. Just wanted to get something easy to see/read al in one place. Figured NA or someone had something pieced together
