Elite Finals are probably the most ridiculous of all the rating that they put out because multiple MVP’s have been bad college QBs.

Anyway I find it interesting that the rankings follow in lock step how big the fan base is that the player is to the committed school this years rankings.

I watched them consistently talk about his lack of size and his average arm talent during the competition, INSTEAD of them mentioning that he is literally 16 and competing against dudes a year or two older. He was also the most accurate QB at the competition hands down. I know it's not important and Sean white was MVP over Deshuan Watson, but some clear bias was happening in that competition man.

His accuracy and timing are elite. Plus he already runs an RPO system. However the negative points are true, he is small and he has average arm strength compared to the other competitors. He’s not necessarily fast but has good pocket presence but he hasn’t been hit by SEC blitzing linebackers or 4 year starting SEC D linemen.

We must protect him if he chooses Auburn. Truthfully if he is going to sign or would have known he is gonna sign with AU it would have been much better if he hadn’t reclassified. Just my opinion. Can he play as a true freshman? I’m not positive on that it all depends on if we can protect him. Scary thought replacing over half our starting OL going into next season.

And from everything I saw, the elite 11 proved these two things. I’ll take those two traits over the others. It’s already been said, but I’m not going to get too worried about height and arm strength of a kid that just finished 10th grade that’s still throwing dimes all over the field.

I don’t see the relevance of that point if he’s in the same class as these dudes.

Especially when looking at it from Auburn’s perspective. We don’t get extra time with him to wait for him to develop.

I agree with what you said about him other than this portion. I don’t think the coaching staff is gonna throw him out there if he isn’t physically ready no matter how good he is. Walker White may not be a good or even great QB but behind a new OL he can take some hit that you wouldn’t want Juju taking especially very early in his career.

That why I have made the comment before if we could have landed him in the ‘26 class it would have actually been better for Auburn.

But I’m just a slight lean to AU that we flip him. I could easily see him staying committed to USCw, or some program popping up late in the process.

It's very possible and even likely that a guy going into the 11th grade who's already 6'1 will get taller and develop more physically.They kept talking about him being shorter like he was 5"10 or something. I'm just saying that most of the guys rated above him probably couldn't do as well as he did at 16. You're right about us have the same 3-4 years with him

Same agreement. If those weren’t off the charts good he would be a mid 3 star QB. Granted he has had some incredible play makers on offense around him to throw to as well.

Well there’s no argument about that part so not sure how you’re disagreeing.

By rule we have a max 5 years with him. The other schools also have a max of 5 years with the same guys that he’s competing with.

You don’t get a special assessment when the ‘25 guys are your peers now. If another commit is physically ready right now, then that’s a plus over Juju as that school would get an extra year out of that guy that we don’t get with Juju.

In reality he’s probably 5’11”. He’s a small framed kid. I would be very surprised if he even touches the 6’ mark right now

My bad I read that like because he’s Juju that we have no time to develop him because he will come in Day 1 starter.

For everyone’s use when they inevitably hear about Bama’s commit winning MVP

Good counter warfare information there.

However a kind of strange throwing motion he does have good deep throw accuracy. In the Air Raid Chunky Harsin does seem to take more deep shots then most but that may have more to do with Penix and the WR talent they had last season.

I think the point of the Elite 11 is to actually make it, being the Alpha or MVP is just icing on cake. There were 22 QBs competing for those 11 spots.

If I remember correctly Bo was runner up to Spencer Rattler

Husan Longstreet was a lock to win it prior to injuring his foot. By far the best QB before injury

Looks like a certain elite QB went out there with a bad attitude.
