Rivals had him as 16th best QB in 2010. ESPN had him at 91st in 2010. He could be good, but a ranking system alone might not be enough to jump on the bandwagon. Id like to see more of his stats. Nice offseason grab.
For some reason, the super high ranked players haven't seemed to work for Troy lately. We had a guy at corner a year or two ago that was the #2 corner (ESPN, #6 on Rivals) from 2011 I believe. He was second string most of the season. We had Josh Jarboe (#3 WR on ESPN from 2007 or 2008) who did little at Troy but made waves at Arkansas State.
Jarboe is a curious case. He had a great coach at the JUCO he went too between Troy and ASU, and Freeze became a father figure for him in his year here. I'm not sure it was as much as never living up to his potential at OU or Troy, or simply his inability to stay out of trouble.
