I was thinking Marcus Davis & Jason Smith. Rico played WR his senior HS year.


We've been doing this for a long time. Quan Bray, HS QB. Trovon Reed, HS QB and DB. CJ Uzomah, HS QB. There's been more I'm sure, that's just off the top of my head.

It's not unique to us though, a lot of high schools just put the best athlete on the team at QB . Gus seems overly fond of the idea though.

If they actually have the hands to play WR, then having played QB can actually help because you know how a QB sees you on the field. But if you have the hands of Ricardo Louis, you should be playing DB.

Rico played QB in HS too at times even if not SR yr. Stanton Truitt was a QB too.

That transition has been fairly successful for NFL guys. We don't have NFL caliber WR coaches though

No clue. The offer was just reported. He was supposed to start at Illinois this year but left the team in August and immediately started playing juco in Mississippi. Miss St is the only other offer that was reported.

Would he even be eligible? Don't you have to graduate JUCO?

Yes and I assume he would. I did not say he was going to be a freshman this past year at Illinois.

If you go to juco at any point whether it be from HS or after 1 or 2 years at a 4 year school you have to graduate juco before attending another school.

Article on his departure from Illinois. Apparently had off field issues at different times. He's a sophomore. LINK

So he won't be DQ'd based on that "University investigation" rule that bars kids who were kicked off teams etc

It'll be tough for them to get a good name. Miami is not the program it has been at various times.
