Thoughts on 2018 QB situation; QB to watch at camp Sunday
To avoid rambling and getting into a long diatribe against the QB situation in Texas for the 2018 class, I'll say it in a short sentence and one that I've said a few times. The QB class in Texas for this cycle is extremely weak and is why none of the top three were actively pursued by the top programs in Texas outside of Baylor and Texas Tech. There are three that I would consider top 40ish players in Texas, but for the first time in a quite a while, there isn't a top 100 national talent at QB coming out of the state. If I had my pick of the three (Spencer Sanders, Jalen Mayden, Tanner Mordecai) I would probably go with Mordecai considering I believe he has the most natural presence and projection of the three. I worry about Sanders after not playing his junior season after an injury and I worry about Mayden being a lefty with a lot of room to grow as a passer with mismatched mechanics. Mordecai will be the one of the three that I believe will be the most consistent in the class when things are said and done. He is also a bit of an unknown considering he missed time early as a junior. He was wildly inconsistent at The Opening in Dallas as well when it came to accuracy.But I'm also no prophet and known to be wrong often. At the end of the day, the reality is that there is not a QB in Texas that Baylor could take that would change the direction of the program similar to the possibilities that a prospect like Jarrett Stidham brought to the table. There's no one realtively close. So by taking a prospect who is probably not going to see the field until their third year on campus, there is time for development. Because of that, especially when it looks as though missing on Mordecai is a real possibility, finding a plus athlete with natural tools is the way to go. If you can find one who completed 71% of his passes with 24 TDs and only 3 INTs, even better.That leads me to Henderson QB Trae Hall (6-3, 185). As a junior, Hall completed 118 of 167 passes (70.7%) for 1,894 yards with 24 touchdowns to only three interceptions. Hall added 749 yards rushing and six touchdowns on 80 attempts on the ground. He holds offers from Louisiana Lafayette, Florida Atlantic and Alcorn State. On film, which needs to be rearranged and extended, Hall shows ability to throw on the run, push the ball vertically with accuracy, and between the hashes. RPM is plus and won't be made ill by winds and shows his ability to spread it to the sideline with accuracy, velocity, and a quick release. While his athletic ability to extend passing plays is strong, his designed carries don't show breakaway speed, but with his size he's probably not going to need it. He won't be taken down with an arm tackle and that will only get better evident as he matures.Hall will camp with Baylor on Sunday and has been in contact with Baylor OC Jeff Nixon. Don't be surprised to see an offer extended with a solid showing.http://www.hudl.com/video/3/5311297/57d6d13f0aff7b858cb1f19f

5.24 Housecleaning Notes
With Jalen Mayden off the board to Mississippi State, Baylor's realistic QB offer pool is down to two with Midway's Tanner Mordecai and Gerry Bohanon of Arkansas. I don't see it as panic time yet, but there's always reason to add another name to the list if and when it is time to panic. The name that I'm looking at is Jace Ruder out of Kansas. He has recently been in touch with Baylor QB coach and co-OC Glenn Thomas and happens to be a close family friend of Baylor GA Kirk Bryant. Ruder holds notable offers from North Carolina, Florida State, Kansas State, Iowa, and Indiana. I asked Ruder about his potential interest in Baylor if they were to offer, and he said Baylor would potentially be a school he would be interested in.My initial thought is that staying in the Big 12 is appealing to him, but playing in the KSU offense or playing at Kansas might not be a priority. A Baylor offer could put the bears in the mix immediately. Linebacker Joseph Ogunbanjo had a visit from the Baylor staff on Monday, the first since he was offered a couple of weeks ago. Fran Brown and Mike Siravo both made a stop by Alief Taylor.There is definitely chemistry here between the two parties and JO made it clear that he would definitely be working on setting up a visit date for the summer. He also said that the early faith Baylor showed in him is still on his mind. Since being offered by Baylor on May, JO has seen 13 additional offers role in including from Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, Houston, Indiana, and Texas Tech, while Texas and Texas A&M are both evaluating him closely. Manvel prospects and Baylor offers Brian Johnson and Kam Scott are both expected to be on Baylor's campus sometime in the next two weeks. Remember, Baylor has moved Scott's offer from WR to DB and Scott is open to the idea. I spoke with Florida DE Kayode Oladele for the first time since Baylor offered on Tuesday. Basic conversation for the most part, but Oladele confirmed with me he plans to make an unofficial visit to Baylor this summer. He has been in contact mainly with Evan Cooper and classified his interest in Baylor as an 8/10. This coupled with some additional intel and I can tell you Baylor definitely has a chance with the former Florida State pledge. They need to get him on campus to see what the staff and program is all about, but his level of interest is extremely high without ever setting foot on campus.

National Average Rating

The National Average Rating is a proprietary formula that calculates an industry-wide aggregate rating for each recruiting prospect. The formula includes publicly listed grades, scores, ratings and rankings by national recruiting services, along with a SicEm365 rating. Combining the data provides a rating for each prospect, which is then normalized to fit the SicEm365 Rating 100-point scale.

The intent of this rating is to provide SicEm365 readers with a comprehensive snapshot of how individual prospects rank nationally.

If the predicted school is Baylor and confidence is set to “High”, then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Baylor and I feel very certain about that.”

Example #2

If the predicted school is “Alabama” and confidence is set to “Low,” then the staff member is saying “I believe that this recruit will ultimately sign with Alabama, but I’m not very certain about that.”
