Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
I think Bama moon hit the nail on the head. Just like Rex Ryan wanted his son to come to Bama to learn how to coach, so does Jack Del Rio. These NFL coaches know that the experience and knowledge they gain from a program like Sabans is worth much more than playing time at another university. ALso, Luke finished better than Cooper Bateman in the Elite 11, so I imagine he plans on earning a spot. He reminds me a lot of Mike Shula with a better arm. Smart, accurate, and average skills. I wonder this will affect Parker McLeod's decision.

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
I don't know where you are getting info that he has to sit out. Much less, 2 years?? A walk-on is the same as any scholarship player, without getting money for college. He is not transferring.

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
And one of other QB commits is Copper Bateman and he did not make the Final 11 round and he is a concenus top 5 QB. I would agree he is totaly legit.

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
If he was an invited walk-on, he will have to sit out 2 years or back count to this year's 25 limit and the 85 total limit. If he just told CNS he wants to walk-on, that's a different story.
Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
I have a feeling, probably gas,
but I think with AJ declaring he will return next season is what made up Luke's mind to walk on instead of taking a scholly elsewhere. He, as will all the other QB's, will have another year to compete and learn the system. So while he will be a year behind the QB's that were behind AJ this season he will have basically the same amount of game experience, minus the mop up time, that any other QB will have once AJ moves on.
In other words, he will have plenty of time to earn a scholly and win the job before anyone else gets entrenched as the QB following AJ's departure. Probably gas! That does bode well for his confidence and the continuation of great QB play at Bama.

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
From everything I read on this guy, he has a higher ceiling and stronger arm than the two we have offers to.

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
His offers would certainly seem to indicate that. Also, he was included in the "Elite 11." Financing him for a year, or even two, is not going to dent his dad's wallet materially...

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
The question of the hour now becomes.....How many thousands of times will Verne say, "Luke's Dad, of course, is the former NFL great player and coach Jack Del Rio" ?

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
dont know about stronger arm. bateman has a canon for an arm. there are throws in his junior highlight film of him throwing it 70 yards in the air with no problem. The ginger kid looks like he has a wet noodle arm though. Im interested to see if del rio continues to grow in height. he is supposed to have a 6'7" wingspan, but is still only 6'2"

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
Bateman indeed has a rocket on his shoulder but I like this Del Rio kids attitude already

no, its about how many times Verne says Luke is the son of professional wrestler Alberto Del Rio.

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
I saw Bateman in some 7-on-7 tournaments and he does have a cannon. I compared it to Brodie's. Del Rio may end up being the best of the three but he does not have the strongest arm IMO.

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
I'm sorry. I disagree, but that is ok. I've never heard of a person having to sit out 2 years because he is an invited walk-on. He won't be counted toward our 25 scholarship offers, but will still have to make the 85 limit cut. Most kickers and punters don't receive scholarships yet are eligible to play their freshmen years. Most of them are invited walk-ons.
I think Luke will surprise some people. We will be loaded at QB. I have a feeling we'll be seeing some Qb's transfer or decommit in the next few months/years. I like Parker, but he may start looking elsewhere.

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
I think it's actually if he, as an invited walk-on, earns a scholarship within two years then he back counts against our 25 limit this year.
As far as having to sit....He can start at QB in the spring if he's good enough and take every snap next year.
He doesn't have to sit at all unless I'm completely in the dark about some unknown rule.

Re: 2013 CO QB Luke Del Rio
You're probably right lol. Has Albert Del Rio ever been in prison? If so that will increase the mention about ten to twelve thousand times
