NM was what you call a ball player, he had that god given gift that he could’ve succeeded at multiple positions. I just think Malik has the potential in terms of being an electric playmaker like NM was. Probably a poor choice of words on my part. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect him to be in the top 10 on all sites by the end of the summer. Bo will keep moving up as well. he shreds all these 7 on 7 events like fields did last summer. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that being said, I do agree with what you are saying and I hope Bo is not required to start as a FR This made me curious about Stan White so I looked it up. His freshman year was actually his second best season with the senior season being the best. His TD/INT ratio was really bad his sophmore and junior year. But so was the team so... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Let's not forget that we got Nick after he'd started a full year at juco and we still haven't seen Willis really be allowed to do anything. Hard to imagine that he's another NM, but he could also be better in other ways. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their last rankings update was February 20th. A full month before recruiting reporters had any inkling Pappoe was trending to AU. 2. He did not drop from #6 to #25. The 6 is how many spots he moved down...from 15 to 21. Not sure where you got #25 from at all...Link Bottom line is it doesn't matter if Rivals has him a 5 or 4* right now. If he stays in the 20s or moves up he will be a 5* at NSD as Rivals usually gives out 31-34 5*s per year. They always build up to that number in each class. I'm sick & tired of people posting these Auburn rankings drops myths & wish I could do this to the inferiority complex this the mind set comes from... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,884 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Quote Elite 11 Finals: Day One Top 11 Performers No. 8- Bo Nix, Pinson Valley (Ala.). Committed to Auburn - Nix struggled a bit in the roll out drills but looked smooth and efficient the rest of the day. The Auburn commit is another kid who has a pure stroke, very solid mechanically and an effortless release. He has enough arm strength to get the ball down the field but is at his best making the high percentage throws with timing and anticipation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,884 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 From a 247 reporter covering the event. Today is pro day throws. The QBs have to do a quick read & react passes to throw a pro passing tree. Quote Bo Nix had some wow throws. Really like him, has all the tools and mind to excel in college. Wasn’t perfect, missed a few throws but kid is unflappable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should see the Bama fans on Tyson and Taulia on their forum, neither in the top 11 though. Hope Bo keeps showing them the meaning of the word elite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of the many mental aspects of the position, they might be noticably different. I say that with optimism. It will be tough to compare, though. Nix might not start until 2021 and who knows what our team and staff will look like by then. But in terms of mobility and throwing the ball, I put them in the same class. Others might have more to say on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he and Stidham are our QBs of the future we will be testing the theory that Gus needs a true DT quarterback to be successful because neither of them would seem to fit that definition........but of course, there is Joey hanging around out there..... still classed as a QB. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both who Really good but not elite arm strength. Both mobile but neither is one you’ll ruin a true option offense with them being a focal point running the ball. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a high chance that Malik Willis is our starter next year. I used to argue against those who said that Gus needs a DT QB bc they were basing that off limited and incomplete data. And I still think that Gus can, with the right OC, field an offense that is consistently *competent* for an entire season- *very good* offenses have days where they don't look *successful*, but they never look as *woefully and embarrassingly inept* as ours has several times the last few seasons- with a sufficiently-mobile-but-not-quite-dual-threat QB. #holyrunonsentencebatman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
