Stay tuned he's supposed to announce soon

Scroggins camped at the Elite 11 and committed to the Trojans directly after.Scouts liked his smooth delivery, his accuracy, his agility in the pocket, and his poise, and question only his size (even 6'2" is a reach). They compare him to Jason Campbell from a size and talent perspective.Any time a school offers after camping, it means they've evaluated the prospect in person.The Trojans' staff clearly saw promise in Scroggins, who was coming on strong in terms of buzz just prior to committing, and jumped on board before too many other schools came calling.Rivals claims he has the developmental upside to be one of the best passers in the class, and the Trojans' depth chart (i.e. Matt Barkley and everybody else) offers a period of waiting that will help acclimate Scroggins to the system, particularly since starting immediately clearly wasn't a factor in his decision.USC caught a live one.. I suppose I'd taken for granted that the Tigers were moving in the direction of more dynamic/athletic quarterbacks, but Lee is nearly the complete opposite.At 6'3", Lee has good, not great, size. He's a traditional drop back QB (though out of shotgun) and a gifted thrower who shows excellent touch.He's been described as cool in the pocket, even robotic, which must be welcome news to Tiger fans tired of the confidence issues of that other Lee, Jarrett.I don't expect Lee to challenge Russell Shepard or Jordan Jefferson too much unless LSU changes offensive coordinators.But he'll benefit from a redshirt year (he's still rail-thin), and spend some time working with LSU's talented wide receivers, which will prevent what scouts described as a tendency to lock onto receivers..

He's a high-motor guy, very coachable, wicked fast, elusive, with a build like an outside linebacker. His development as a passer somewhat hinges on his ability to redshirt in 2010, but his running ability is closer to the spirit of RichRod's system. Case in point: Michigan's passing game, which was an underdeveloped and sorry to watch this year. RichRod just doesn't have a passing-oriented mind like some of his colleagues.No surprise, then, that there are grumblings of a Forcier transfer (though nothing close to official), which would set Michigan back at least another year.The writing isn't on the wall for Forcier, who is making the system his own and likely won't be pushed by Gardner immediately, but there could be controversy down the road if Gardner blows up like some are predicting.. Bell, an Oklahoma commit, is drawing comparisons to Washington QB Jake Locker.

He's currently all intangibles, but the raw talent is there for the right system to develop.Though short of the elite arm, we could in time be talking about him as the next Sam Bradford.. ESPN really dug Sims, naming him their top QB overall (though withholding the fifth star) and praising his mobility in the pocket coupled with a tenacious focus downfield.His shorter stature dinged him a bit, but the scheme he ran in college forced a variety of throws, and he showed a knack for adjusting to each of them quickly and smoothly, so the mechanics outweigh the physical drawbacks.Additionally, he played out of the shotgun in school, so he might need to adjust to Alabama's pro-style offense, which features a majority of snaps under center and a different style of play-action (or, you know, they could adjust to him).Greg McElroy returns, so Sims could either compete with Star Jackson for a backup spot or redshirt, depending on how 2010 shakes out. Notre Dame's Next (Next) Big Thing remained solidly committed to the Irish and expressed his interest in meeting Brian Kelly. With good reasonKelly laid the groundwork for Dan LeFevour's record-setting career at Central and made functional-to-great quarterbacks out of Ben Mauk and Tony Pike, to say nothing of Zach Collaros.Hendrix's talents lie somewhere between Collaros and Pike. He has outstanding arm strength like Pike, but boasts the athleticism and thicker build of Collaros, and at least a nod to his dual-threat ability could be in Irish playbook if and when he takes the reigns.With the news that Dayne Crist will miss spring ball, he might fall behind enough that Hendrix pushes for time immediately.A good snap on his throw and better-than-sound mechanics make Hendrix an outstanding sleeper pick and a fitting, if probably unplanned, gift from beyond the grave of the Charlie Weis era.. The Nittany Lions plucked Bolden out of the running in July.He'll compete immediately with dual-threat QB Kevin Newsome and Matthew McGloin for the quarterback spot vacated by Darryl Clark.He could have the arm to startRivals loved the lasers he was throwing at the Elite 11 campbut his touch needs work, and he'll likely redshirt barring some profound struggles by Bolden.Thin and tall, Bolden's physical presence reminded scouts of LSU's Jordan Jefferson. Between that, the system Penn State has run with Clark and Michael Robinson, and Bolden's innate intelligence as a passer, I predict Bolden will be a pass-heavy, QB-draw type (like Clark) and less a zone-read running threat.He's a passer first; mobility is merely the icing on the cake..

Mad props to the Maryland Terrapins' coaching staff on landing Tyler Smith, a 6'6" prospect out of Wilson, Pa. The four-star needs to bulk up but has a cannon for an arm and makes all the throws.He sounds to me like the Baltimore Ravens' Joe Flaccotall, lanky, but with deceptive athleticism and good feet. And he has a faster delivery than Flacco, requiring very little wind-up.He could start immediately and provide a spark for the Terps, who lose senior QB Chris Turner to graduation. Though not a recruit in the same vein of the other QBs (as a sophomore in 2008, Newton was kicked off of the Florida Gators after stealing a laptop from a student's dormitory, then throwing it out the window during questioning), Newton has played himself back into the graces of the NCAA.He spent a year at Binn College playing JUCO football, and is now deciding between Auburn (the likely candidate), Mississippi State and Oklahoma as the site of his triumphant return.His arm strength, poise, and intangibles drew comparisons to David Garrard, and he's a dual threat quarterback in both the evasive and in the productive sense of the word.ESPN particularly liked his accuracy in short-to-medium throws, which, in my mind, makes him the better fit at Mississippi State, where Dan Mullen runs an offshoot of Urban Meyer's offense.Wherever he signs, he's the most prepared of the bunch and will be able to challenge immediately for playing time, with the expectation of possibly starting at either Auburn or MSU.Stay tuned, he's supposed to announce soon..
