I don’t get the Twitter “hype” around him.

I don’t think that’s very good for his rating. Plus his Miami stats scare me.

I’m relieved to get him and I’m very happy to have him but I think Mendoza is probably a much better QB than him. Twitter seems to be selling this guy as something that he isn’t.

Sounds like he split time at Miami Central from what I can tell. They played one of the toughest schedules in the nation and lost close games to Bishop Gorman and Chaminda Madonna.

He is probably a better athlete than any QB we have ever had from videos I have seen. That said he is going to be raw as if he was not he wouldn't be coming to JMU. Had an App State offer as well.

It will be all about coaching him up without losing the athletic play.

The thing I will miss most about Cig and his crew (Tino, in this case) is the QB Whisperer aspect. They could turn a dud into a star. I hope Chez can do the same.

Kuntz and Haines are bigger losses than Tino IMO.

Let’s not forget, 3 of our qbs under Cig had fbs and even p5 experience. Talent was there already. and the other didn’t really show anything until year 5.

Haines and Kuntz have consistently taken a bunch of FCS recruits, even walk ons, and turned them into absolute studs. We’ll miss them the most and there is a reason the DLineman and LBs are the ones following them, and not McCloud
