Good article on Kyle Trask

Slid in there right in front of me dude... 
I got busy slappin' a troll on another thread.
“The really great thing about Nuss and that staff is they trusted their eyes.
They didn’t worry about a (clueless rating service) ** star rating.
They looked and saw the kid can flat-out play.
You watch, Kyle Trask will light it up in the NFL and everyone will be going,

Those Hudi highlights are what I watched months ago, and the reason I was so happy that Mc-Nuss gave Kyle a ship offer. I too trusted my OWN eyes.... chomp
chomp
Zero interceptions on 1,500+ yards and 17 TD's.
Not mop up duty, but the 3rd and 7th series of his HS games.
Plus he's a 4.0 student and an Eagle Scout.
I have nothing personal against any of the other Gator QB's and I wish them all well, but I'd really like to see Kyle be a 4 year starter for the Gators. Mc-Nuss will do what they think is best for the team, and I can live with that. My own personal wishes don't really come into any of their decisions.
One thing that I know for sure is this, IF anyone really beats this kid out, (field, locker room, classroom, town) then the Gators are due to have some really GREAT QB'ing in 2016 and beyond.
====================
The top 2017 recruits are all looking elsewhere instead of to UF, proving that Mc-staff can't recruit, (the clueless claim).
'Based on the visits he’s taken thus far, Florida likely sits near the top of Army AA S Grant Delpit’s leaderboard. He visited the Gators last month for their spring game.'
“It was actually better than I thought it would be,” Delpit said. “Their DB’s coach (Torrian Gray) knows his stuff and coach (Jim) McElwain is doing big things at Florida. I’ll definitely be back for another visit.”

Great article. This was a very interesting quote:
'“I tried to play Kyle the third series of every game and then the seventh series, regardless of the score,” Martin said, debunking the notion that Trask’s impressive film consists of mop-up duty.'
UF coach Jim McElwain expects to identity the leader at QB once the Gators begin fall training camp. “We'll be able to see that when we get to camp,” McElwain said Wednesday at the Central Florida Gator Club. “You can see how guys kind of gravitate (to one player) and their reactions, how guys handle huddles and that type of deal. We’ll get a pretty good idea then.”
Redshirt sophomore Luke Del Rio and graduate transfer Austin Appleby are the (media-perceived) front-runners for the job. Del Rio came out of spring leading the race (using the 1st team Off vs the 2-3 team Def), but Appleby’s two years of experience as a starter at Purdue (stunk - 19 TD's to 19 Int's) has kept him in contention.
===================
1st String - Kyle Trask - (could be a 4 year starter - Tabor, among others, likes him) Nuss said that he was as good as any 5 star QB he'd seen all year.
2nd String - Luke Del Rio - (could be a 3 year starter and/or a top quality backup) He was never good enough to start for Bama, and they never have great QB's, nor could he start for OreSt. So this qualifies him to be the starter for 3 Heisman QB's Florida???
3rd String - Austin Applyby - (could be a 1 year starter or a pretty good scout team QB) This guy is 1) a Grad-Sr with only 1 year of eligibility and 2) a 1 to 1 TD/Int Ratio, happy-feet QB.
Redshirt - Feleipi' Franks - He's raw as a bone and he really needs the weight room. After that it all depends on him for next season.
To me, it seems like one of those 'you can pay me now or pay me later' deals on choosing the 2016 QB.
To me, Del Rio is a temporary fix, and Appleby even more so, cause he's gone next season. Does anyone here believe that Del Rio will win/keep the starters job next season, with Trask, Franks, and Allen competing for it? If not, then Del Rio this year is a waste of time and effort imo. I'd rather win 7-8 games this year with Trask while he learning, than win 9-10 games with Del Rio for 1 season, (no young QB's progress).
~ Just my own hopes and opinions. I still trust Mc-Nuss to make the correct choices for the team.

Del Rio will be the starting QB and he may be the starting QB next year also. I've been saying it for awhile that he's better than everybody thinks.
These guys offenses have never required an out of this world QB. However, they also have always been paired with a Sababn defense, so we might need a little more than they have had to get out of the QB while at Bama.
So Paco, under your theory, should Trask & Franks just go ahead and transfer now?
We won't need them in 2016 even as backups, since we have Appleby.
And we won't need them in 2017, cause we'll still have Harry Gronto V on the roster.
And should Allen just go ahead find another school where he has a possibility to play before his Jr season?
Just curious, since you believe that Del Rio is the QB answer for the next 2-3 years...

It seems that, even going back to last year, the coaches are/were high on Luke.
Odd though that you'll tout Trask because the coaches loved him, but not del Rio...despite the praise he gets from said coaches.
And your nonsense sarcasm about them transferring is either ridiculous BS or a further example of your delusional views on college football.
When I see us recruit or show that is our direction I will think thatbis where we are headed. I fully expect we are headed toward the Mac/Nuss Bama offenses. When I see one back, shotgun spread I will get back to you. Until then I will go with what recruiting is showing, heavy under-center, multiple TE, eun-heavy with a comtrolled, short passing game.

The reality is you aren't all that wrong. Of Trask, Franks and Allen it is very feasible only one gets a lot of starts at UF. I am with Paco, I could very well see del Rio being the guy for the next two seasons. The coaches talk highly of him, most of what I read said he seemed to grasp the offense in the spring. Other than that you need Trask to be a star and Mac to win titles for anything you say to be legitimate, what reasoning do you have to think we will start del Rio this year and not next? Think about it, if we are good this year like you think, they aren't going to change going in to 2017.
No comment Paco?
But I'll bet that the 'ignored stalker twits' that NEVER read what I post are yappin' away, as usual.

I don't know what is going to happen in 2017. We haven't even gone though the 2016 season yet. Not sure why people are already giving up on Feleipe Franks either. Just because he struggled in a spring game of his true freshmen season? Way way too early to be claiming busts already.
I've posted what 'I'd like to see' at QB for 2016, just my own early wish/guess of course.
1) Trask - Starter
2) Del Rio - Top Quality backup
(I'd be okay if 1 & 2 were switched until the 2017 competition begins)
3) Applyby - Backup / Scout
4) Franks a redshirt / Scout
For 2017, the competition for starting QB would then be between:
Trask So - Franks rsFr - Allen Fr (with a redshirt possible) and Del at #3
But the winner of the 2017 starters job would have a chance to be a Top 5 in the nation QB imo.
My thinking is along the lines of 'what's best for the team going forward for the next 4 years,' not just what might work out best for 2016.
IF Del Rio is the starter for 2016-18, then I see a pile of bail-outs coming down the pike.
Just my own eyes, but I don't see Del being even a Top 10 QB, more of a 'game manager' type of QB. IF Del gets it, then I'll be hoping that he proves me incorrect because it's nothing personal on my part.
This past season I saw two QB's that xfered out go in the NFL draft, while the 2015 starter is on indefinite suspension. That kind of bs needs to end now....

Oh, a game manager like every QB that has ever started under these guys at Bama? Yes, del Rio well fits the mold of what these guys have done in the past when they had success. Not sure what it is you are expecting.
Weren't we in shotgun 1 back formation in 90% of our offensive snaps this past season?
I am high on Trask as well.
However, I don't think there is anyway Mac will start a true freshman at QB unless Del Rio just collapses ala Harris.
I think we will see Del Rio start for 2 years and then Trask step in for the next 2 or 3. Franks would likely transfer out in that scenario.
It would be nice to see some consistency and production from the QB position for an extended period of time again.

22222, if it's Del for the next 2 years (rsSo & rsJr), then it's likely he'd be the starter for his rsSr year also. Grossman was the last UF QB to leave early if my memory serves, and he had the departing SOS as a reason to do so.
IF Trask ended up starting in 2016, then the 2017 competition would be between Soph Trask, rsFr Franks, and tFr Allen. A better scenario imo, but I'm not the millionaire HBC... We'll all just have to wait and see how this all plays out over the coming season.

I based my previous post on the premise that Del Rio only had 2 years of eligibility at Florida. I was unaware that the NCAA had recently granted him an extra year of eligibility.
http://gatorbytes.blog.palmbeachpos...ke-del-rio-granted-extra-year-of-eligibility/
Not sure how I missed that news, but happy to hear it.
I will stick by my original post. I still think Del Rio leaves after 2 years.
I know....I'm delusional. One can hope he is good enough for that to happen.
22222, IF Rio's that good, then I'd also be happy with the outcome, but that's a pretty big IF imoho...
There are some tFr that can start and do well in the SEC, Leak being UF's last good example of a true Fr starter. It's not like it never happens or can't happen. I just wish that Mc-Nuss would give Trask every chance to win the starting job in Aug/Sept, but they have an 'established' relationship with Rio already, so I don't know that it will happen.
Either way, just put the best guy out there and let-er rip....
(I'm not afraid to play or start a true Fr, UF has a long history of successfully doing so)

Your problem here Insta is you want to go all in on a kid who hasn't even been to a fall practice yet. You are annointing Trask based on the evaluation by Doug "I was sent packing for Lame Kitten" Nusmeir. That in itself is faulty. I also read Franks has been working with a big-time QB coach somewhere or another. I think you have made up your mind much more than Mac has. I also warn you to slow down as some other moron AD out there is likely to hire Nuss away from us sooner rather than later. So if nothing else, slow it down a little.
Michi, you're over complicating the issue. Insta doesn't care about UF winning, he wants Trask to start for the sole purpose of saying "I told you so!" He's had a hard on for the guy from the beginning and nothing anybody will say will convince him this dude isn't Peyton Manning. The thought of throwing a true freshman on the field behind that atrocious oline is just stupid. Especially a true freshman who has never even been a full-time starter on the HS level. Leak holds MULTIPLE national records and is one of the most decorated HS QB's ever, so that's just an awful comparison. Most true freshmen aren't ready to play.
So, to summarize the two board football genius types and their excellent advice to dummy me is:
1. As an incoming 2016 freshman, Trask is unproven.
(FLASH news for sure)
2. The OC that the HBC hired is both incompetent and likely to be hired away from UF as a HBC at some other school. (he's recently turned down a HBC'ing job)
So Nussmeier can't coach,,, proving that McElwain is also incompetent for hiring him.
(Yep! Logic Genius is confirmed)
3. Three Int Franks is working with a QB coach 'somewhere or another.'
(proving that he's more ready to go than Trask,,,, or not)
4. "Either way, just put the best guy out there and let-er rip.... " - iG
(proving to them that I'll only accept Trask as the 2016 Gator QB)
5. I might 'slow-down' when guys like you SD & STHU....
(in other words, please hold your breath)
------------
Oozzing out from under a rock, some other genius knows everything about me and what I'm thinking, by never wasting any of his precious time reading and/or thinking about anything that I post here.
His proof of me not wanting to win is my quote:
"Either way, just put the best guy out there and let-er rip." - iG
Maybe it's not that he doesn't read what I post, it's just that his reading comp skills are at an FSUcks level.
"The thought of throwing a true freshman on the field behind that atrocious oline is just stupid." --- ooozzzie claims
Translation: The coaches are stupid. The OL coach is especially incompetent. The Gator OL are all sub-standard and can't play a lick. The OL has not improved at all from what the musclecramp left us. And 6-4 225 4.6/40 Trask is the last guy that should play if you really did have a weak OL. Oh BTW, I thought what a kid did in HS doesn't matter? I guess that's optional, depending on which side of a debate you choose to be on at any given moment....
===========
So thank you both for pointing out my 'obvious' problems and your genius solutions for them.
I'll be sure to act on your genius directions immediately....

And hey genius, the guy you're advocating starting is currently 3rd string. So no, someone having the idea that he shouldn't start as true freshman isn't calling the coaches dumb. Apparently, they don't agree with you either or he wouldn't be 3rd string. So ironically, you're the one questioning them. I'm not surprised that flew way over your head though.
All of your proofs are an idiot compilation of your own opinions and speculations.
Now that's some rock solid stuff right there, that is....
And btw, your opinion of my dumbness is just devastating to me.... (snicker)
Oooozie, give me your coaching staff confirmed starter & depth chart for the Gator QB's opening 2016 game vs UMass. (go ahead and claim that it's already been determined by the Spring game) lmao! (link please)
And please continue your usual duck-dodge & weave answers, (vs answering questions or defending your own less than genius positions), I'm still lmao at U....
But hey, your Jr HS buddies all agree with you, so you've still got that to hang your hater-hat on...

Here's what I'd like to see
1. LDR
2. Trask
3. Appleby
4. Franks (RS)
Del Rio seems to be the front runner now and supposedly knows the offense inside and out, so let him take the first snaps. Our o-line is probably still gonna be shaky and our passing game will probably be limited until the new receivers adjust, so why put a true freshman out there behind that and ruin them? Del Rio plays until/if the offense is struggling or we lose a few games. At that point you'd be better off playing for next year and going with the high upside guy (Trask).

Even though I think it will be hard to pull del Rio if we win 9+ this year I think Mac and Bustmeir will realize they aren't going to get away with game managers without a Saban defense behind them.
A little, though Trask isn't anywhere near as ready as Leak was.
But at this point in time I look at it like this: Appleby is a guy who get benched at Purdue and only has 1 year here, so it makes no sense to give him PT. I just have never been a fan of Franks at all, and even though it was only a spring game his performance in it just sorta confirmed all the thoughts I've had about him. Great athlete, big arm, zero accuracy, and zero awareness. Jeff Driskel-lite. So that leaves Trask and LDR. LDR looked good and Trask showed some potential, so you HAVE to give Trask PT regardless of how good you think he may or may not be. You can't have the entire season riding on LDR, just doesn't make much sense.
I agree with all of that. I do agree that Trask isn't as ready as Leak was but none of us can say if he is as good or better than Leak was. I loved Leak and don't want to knock his game at all. I do however he peaked in high school. Not saying he wasn't a good college QB because he was. I just think Trask has tons of room to peak.
I totally agree that Trask should get any PT over Appleby. All App should get is to hold for FG's. That is unless he kicks tail in fall practice and is heads and shoulders above LDR, Trask, Franks.
On Franks, I do believe he will eventually catch on and be a decent QB.
Yea Trask is bigger, faster, and looks to have a stronger arm. But where Leak was really good was mentally. Learned the offense front and back in a few weeks, almost always got us in the right play, and had really sick accuracy. He was short, not that fast, and didn't have a strong arm so a lot of people under appreciated him for that reason.
But yea, Trask has to play in all these early games. You can't let everything ride on LDR because he's not a big dude himself and the chance for injury behind this o-line is real unless they've really improved. So you gotta have someone ready. Giving Appleby snaps would be a waste of time since he's not here a year from now.
The 2nd post to this thread, for those that either skipped it or have short-term memory loss where my posts are concerned...
“The really great thing about Nuss and that staff is they trusted their eyes.
They didn’t worry about a (clueless rating service) ** star rating.
They looked and saw the kid can flat-out play.

Zero interceptions on 1,500+ yards and 16 TD's, (17 with 1 rushing).
Not mop up duty, but the 3rd and 7th series of his HS games.
Plus he's a 4.0 student and an Eagle Scout.
I have nothing personal against any of the other Gator QB's and I wish them all well, but I'd really like to see Kyle be a 4 year starter for the Gators. Mc-Nuss will do what they think is best for the team, and I can live with that. My own personal wishes don't really come into any of their decisions.
One thing that I know for sure is this, IF anyone really beats this kid out, (field, locker room, classroom, town) then the Gators are due to have some really GREAT QB'ing in 2016 and beyond.
============
And now for my 2nd post to this thread:
UF coach Jim McElwain expects to identity the leader at QB once the Gators begin fall training camp. “We'll be able to see that when we get to camp,” McElwain said Wednesday at the Central Florida Gator Club. “You can see how guys kind of gravitate (to one player) and their reactions, how guys handle huddles and that type of deal. We’ll get a pretty good idea then.”
Redshirt sophomore Luke Del Rio and graduate transfer Austin Appleby are the(media-perceived) front-runners for the job. Del Rio came out of spring leading the race (using the 1st team Off vs the 2-3 team Def), but Appleby’s two years of experience as a starter at Purdue (stunk - 19 TD's to 19 Int's) has kept him in contention.
===================
1st String - Kyle Trask - (could be a 4 year starter - Tabor, among others, likes him) Nuss said that he was as good as any 5 star QB he'd seen all year.
2nd String - Luke Del Rio - (could be a 3 year starter and/or a top quality backup) He was never good enough to start for Bama, and they never have great QB's, nor could he start for OreSt. So this qualifies him to be the starter for 3 Heisman QB's Florida???
3rd String - Austin Applyby - (could be a 1 year starter or a pretty good scout team QB) This guy is 1) a Grad-Sr with only 1 year of eligibility and 2) a 1 to 1 TD/Int Ratio, happy-feet QB.
Redshirt - Feleipi' Franks - He's raw as a bone and he really needs the weight room. After that it all depends on him for next season.
To me, it seems like one of those 'you can pay me now or pay me later' deals on choosing the 2016 QB.
To me, Del Rio is a temporary fix, and Appleby even more so, cause he's gone next season. Does anyone here believe that Del Rio will win/keep the starters job next season, with Trask, Franks, and Allen competing for it? If not, then Del Rio this year is a waste of time and effort imo. I'd rather win 7-8 games this year with Trask while he learning, than win 9-10 games with Del Rio for 1 season, (no young QB's progress).
~ Just my own hopes and opinions. I still trust Mc-Nuss to make the correct choices for the team.

“The really great thing about Nuss and that staff is they trusted their eyes.
They didn’t worry about a (clueless rating service) ** star rating.
They looked and saw the kid can flat-out play.
You watch, Kyle Trask will light it up in the NFL and everyone will be going,
‘Man, how did we miss on that guy?” -- Kirk Martin, Manvel, Tx HS Coach

Those Hudi highlights are what I watched months ago, and the reason I was so happy that Mc-Nuss gave Kyle a ship offer. I too trusted my OWN eyes....
chomp
Zero interceptions on 1,500+ yards and 16 TD's, (17 with 1 rushing).
Not mop up duty, but the 3rd and 7th series of his HS games.
Plus he's a 4.0 student and an Eagle Scout.
I have nothing personal against any of the other Gator QB's and I wish them all well, but I'd really like to see Kyle be a 4 year starter for the Gators. Mc-Nuss will do what they think is best for the team, and I can live with that. My own personal wishes don't really come into any of their decisions.
One thing that I know for sure is this, IF anyone really beats this kid out, (field, locker room, classroom, town) then the Gators are due to have some really GREAT QB'ing in 2016 and beyond.
============
And now for my 2nd post to this thread:
UF coach Jim McElwain expects to identity the leader at QB once the Gators begin fall training camp. “We'll be able to see that when we get to camp,” McElwain said Wednesday at the Central Florida Gator Club. “You can see how guys kind of gravitate (to one player) and their reactions, how guys handle huddles and that type of deal. We’ll get a pretty good idea then.”
Redshirt sophomore Luke Del Rio and graduate transfer Austin Appleby are the(media-perceived) front-runners for the job. Del Rio came out of spring leading the race (using the 1st team Off vs the 2-3 team Def), but Appleby’s two years of experience as a starter at Purdue (stunk - 19 TD's to 19 Int's) has kept him in contention.
===================
1st String - Kyle Trask - (could be a 4 year starter - Tabor, among others, likes him) Nuss said that he was as good as any 5 star QB he'd seen all year.
2nd String - Luke Del Rio - (could be a 3 year starter and/or a top quality backup) He was never good enough to start for Bama, and they never have great QB's, nor could he start for OreSt. So this qualifies him to be the starter for 3 Heisman QB's Florida???
3rd String - Austin Applyby - (could be a 1 year starter or a pretty good scout team QB) This guy is 1) a Grad-Sr with only 1 year of eligibility and 2) a 1 to 1 TD/Int Ratio, happy-feet QB.

I think you need to start Trask, sure Del Rio knows this system "better" but if Trask is as smart as everybody is saying that's not going to matter once the season starts.. Yes Del Rio has practiced against college athletes, but that's a lot different then games.. where he is 8-18 141 yards and some how 3 tackles.. He is basically a long term rsfr. If Trask has the size, arm strength, accuracy, mental capability that they say he does then let him start.. Yes our Oline is not great, but I don't see Del Rio being able to extend plays that much better then Trask. Then again I'm not a college coach so what do I know.
Bump for the star chumps...
Nothing has happened?
What exactly are you bumping? Your own opinion? LMFAO
But hey, I at least got one 'star-chump' response,
so it's all's good here... PS
“It felt good to have a big school like that come after me, regardless of my rating,” Perine said. “It just showed me they really cared about me. Stars didn’t matter to them. They saw how much talent I had.” (just like Trask)
RB/DB Lamical Perine 5-11 218 4.41/40 *** - Eventually given a 4th star when Saban failed to flip him. He has WR speed, a monster stiff-arm, great hands & YAC. The Alabama HS 2015 7A Back of the Year.
Some initially ragged on Mc-staff for going after a 3 star RB, right up until Saban attempted and failed to flip him. In ole iG's ignorant opinion, this kid might just turn out to be the 'jewel' of the 2016 class.
