I don't see this kid getting out of SEC country let alone the state of Alabama

Dad's a coach at SC now. Would be surprised if he isn't a Gamecock.

Well .... he committed to South Carolina today so I guess you're right.

Well if South Carolina was actually of interest to Gebbia, this helps.

This is next-level:

How is that possible?

 

[StPaulHusker]

I was just explaining to my wife about early enrolling for HS players.

She literally said, "I don't think that is such a good thing. What will be next? A kid skipping their entire senior year?"

I think this a weird step for the young man but if it were NU and the player could better himself, then so be it.

I'd be pissed if I were one of his HS teammates counting on him in the fall.

I'm sure the backup QB isn't complaining.

True...

OK....seriously though...what is he gaining? It's a low percentage of Freshman QBs that come into a power 5 school and play right away. That's even after they have a senior year in HS. Now, this kid is coming to campus minus one year of HS experience.

So.....does this next fall count as his redshirt year?

And, if he is going to redshirt, why wouldn't you want to be in HS playing and getting better?
