ESPN: Arkansas has plenty of options at QB

quote:
And before you go thinking that’s hyperbole, consider the fact that all four candidates were four-star prospects and top-25 QBs coming out of high school.
quote:
4. Ricky Town: “I’ll start with him, he’s the newest addition. He came actually when we were within camp [last year]. He transferred obviously [from USC], so he missed a little bit on the front end. But I see a guy who has really good passing skills, a good quick release, good feet and big hands. But a guy that’s talented and is new with us and it’s his first time going through our install, so it’s been neat to see his growth already.”
3. Ty Storey: “Also a freshman. He enrolled early and got in last January. He actually got here when I got here, so we kind of came in together. Ty is a guy that’s off the charts with his football intelligence. I mean off the charts. He’s a worker who understands what we’re doing so well. He’s kind of a gamer guy who seems to play better when we put him in some team situations when he can do things where there’s some competitiveness to it and he can rise to the occasion.”
2. Rafe Peavey: “Probably the best pure passer as far as arm strength and ability to get the ball down the field. Really good feet. A guy that works hard. But tremendous arm strength.”
1. Austin Allen: “A combination of all of them. He’s a really good passer, really good arm strength, good mobility, a really hard worker and he really has a good grasp of what we’re doing too. Shoot, there were days last year during fall camp that I came in and I told our offensive staff while watching tape, ‘Little brother did better than big brother today.’ Brandon was very consistent but there were days we came in and Austin was like, ‘Whoa, that guy is good.’”
quote:
Even Town can't be counted out after disappointing Bielema with his limited grasp of the offense during bowl prep last season. Enos said he's been impressed with Town putting in "extra time" in the film room.

Darn, was hoping Town would be a quick learn.

A little surprised when I read this for the first time. It seems like most wrote him off but it looks like he is actually in the mix. I still think its going to be Allen at the end of the day.

Yea. I put that quote on the post as it explains what the problem is with Town.

Town was scout team QB all year, so he was mainly being coached by GAs to run other offenses, not as much by Enos to run ours. Since he missed install periods of fall camp, it makes sense that he didn't know what he was doing during bowl prep. No one ever taught him. Bert has already said he's taken huge strides this spring.

Everything seems to be as I expected right now with the exception of
Rafe Peavey: “Probably the best pure passer

Seems taken out of context.
The quote mentions arms strength ad nauseam. Not sure the writer could find anything else positive to say about the kid.

He's got the best meme of the bunch:

I hope we can use this at some point in the next 3 years
