Hope we hold on to him too!!!

I wonder how he and Cornwell compare?

That will shape up to be an epic competition in a year or two, depending on if Coker is a one or two year player.

Have to remember P. Sims placed highly back in 2009...
P. Sims was such an interesting case. I don't claim to have any special understanding about the qb position, but I was firmly in the AJM camp when they were competing. I just never thought P. Sims looked comfortable throwing a football.

He proved to be a recruiting bust when he couldn't even get PT at Virginia.

I didn't see this article in Allie's list and it probably deserves a thread of its own...

Yes Earl I missed that one. The new format for SDS makes it very difficult for some one in a hurry, and not much better if you have some time. The old format was much better IMHO. That said Young mister Barnnett seems to be the real deal, but as you pointed out P. Sims also had a good showing...

That's funny because Sims was known to be a little cocky...he had some bravado. He set the all-time passing yards record for Virginia high school football. I think playing in front of a crowd did something to him.

Just fininshed watching the 7 on 7 championship game that ESPNU replayed. It was ironic that Blake Barnett was starting opposite Ricky Town.

Not only did BB easily out-perform RT, but BB's arm strength and spiral are a cut above, even at that elite level.

Hope his star just keeps burning brighter and brighter when he gets to Bama.

Oh, and the Ridley kid ain't bad either!

I don't usually follow recruiting but since there was so much out there on how well Blake and Ridley were doing I couldn't avoid it. I just hope they all stay healthy and keep improving.
