Michael Clemons' Top 5: A&M, OkStat, Arky, Ole Miss, and MIZZOU.

I was curious about Mond's percentage because I keep seeing people slam him for hit. I don't know the 16 stats because 247 only puts up 15 as far as I can see, but here's the 15 completion percentages for the top 25 DT QBs:

1. Tua (only five star on the list) Tagasomething 193 / 285; 67.7%; Alabama
2. Tate "AMD" Martell. 133/237; 56%; tOSU
3. Sam Ehrlinger. 241/391; 61.6% Fighting Hermanos
4. Kellen Mond. 102/182; 56%; Ags
5. Shawn Robinson. 98/221; 44.3% (and 11TD to 8 Int); TCU
6. Lowell Narcisse. [Stats not listed.]
7. N'Kosi Perry. 141/242; 58.2%; Miami
8. Avery Davis. 138/211; 65.4%; Notre Dame

Completion rates for DT QBs ranked 9-25? There's some points there, but I've lost interest in doing the work to complete this post.

I forgot the Camron Buckley was an Under Armour All American until I saw a tweet on @Gigemrecruiting

According to the poster Anthony Hines, Camron Buckley, Kellen Mond, Hez Jones, Jhamon Ausbon, and Tyree Johnson will all be playing in that game.

If a player is soft after three or four years at A&M, the fault lies with Sumlin, not with TX HS coaches

No P5 school in the state finished with more than 6 wins, but A&M and we play in a tougher league than the Big 12.

It could be that A&M's ability to recruit OOS is actually helping this roster. Washington and Dodson were 2 of our best contributors at LB. Wilson was a great NB until his injury this year.

is he better than deshawn capers smith though?

I believe he is being recruited for offense.

it's interesting but I'm not sure it's very meaningful. Schemes, level of competition and teammates can all have huge swings on these things.

The ability to be coached up is what makes the difference. Some guys can for a variety of reasons and some just can't.

For instance, I have no idea what Manziel's HS comp pct was. But his mechanics in HS were chaotic at best. But he was able to fix that at A&M (with internal and external help) and he turned into an extremely accurate passer

I agree with you on all points accept Johnny becoming an extremely accurate passer.

Mike Evans had a HUGE catch radius that probably played into the illusion. We also played more 5WR so we often forced teams to line up a LB or there 5th best DB on a WR. A&M also had 3 rotations at WR and ran a HUNH, which tired out SEC defenses by the second half.

*BTW we have abandoned almost every elelment of that successful scheme after KK left.

He was incredibly accurate to all our receivers, and any matchup advantages created by going 5wr is negated by the absence of running threat. His scrambling ability obviously helped, but he was like 70% from the pocket his second year and I can't remember the official stat but I remember a tweet showing his vs the last 10 years of prolific QB's and he was at the top.

But honestly I didn't think there'd be any dispute that Johnny was an accurate passer by anyone that actually watched him play

I watched him in college and benefitted from scheme and Mike Evans. He was a 51% passer in limited action with the Browns in 2014 and got it up to 57% in 2015.
