They probably got the info from the exact same place they get their info from for every single recruit they write an article on

This. The school can't give out grade info. Only the kid and his family can.

 

 

Exactly. There is no way to verify what he is telling people is correct. You can only surmise that it sure doesn't seem to be about ability on the field. That leaves character and academics.

No, it leaves 22 interceptions in a single year before his outstanding senior year. That means people evaluated him on his junior film and many didn't have time to offer him because they didn't eval his film from senior year.

 

It also means that the 34 INT's he threw in the 2 years prior to his outstanding senior year may be holding people back from taking a chance on him.

Not having time to watch senior film isn't what kept every D-1 program in the nation from offering. I promise, especially with the pub he got, schools evaluated him. Something bigger then "not enough time" kept literally everyone away.

 

I'm not even sure the Soph/Jr INT'S are enough to do that.

Yeah, his HS is 30 minutes from the University of New Mexico's campus. I'm sure they didn't have time to find out about a QB out their back door who had some crazy stats. Or won the championship in the state's largest class a stone's thrown from campus. But you've watched four minutes of film and looked at the stat sheet. I'm sure you know better than all those college coaches.

 

Also, something they conveniently leave out of the highlight videos might have something to do with it:

 

In addition, some of Bruere’s stats are incorrect.

Maxpreps.com, for instance, lists him as having thrown 13 interceptions during his junior season. But he actually threw 22.
And while Maxpreps does appear to have posted the correct numbers for this past season, all of the coaches pointed out that a factor in those numbers is a primary play in the Rams’ arsenal – the shovel pass.
A shovel pass is when the quarterback pitches the ball, many times underhanded, to a running back or receiver cutting between the offensive line and the QB. The Rams use it a lot, many times with Bruere tossing the ball to a teammate who is a couple feet in front of him.
If the ball is dropped, it is an incomplete pass and not a fumble.
If the short toss is successful – which was usually the case in the high-powered, no-huddle Rams offense – it counts as passing and receiving yardage, even though the running back/receiver usually gains all of the yardage coming out of the backfield.
“Half the passes he throws are like handoffs,” one coach said. “He doesn’t have to throw down field a lot. And when he does, he’s got four great wide receivers.”
“He can make some real nice timing throws, but his numbers are simply a product of the system they run,” still another coach said.

Much like one Geno Smith. Astronomical completion percentage his last year at WVU, but at least 30% of the passes were shovel passes.

 

We see how well that's translated to the next level.

This is correct. Grades can not be released by a school or coach without consent of the athlete or his guardian(s).

 

True. And the school publishes those who made it on the honor roll in the newspaper. That's why he was on it all 4 years of high school. That tells me he most likely didn't have a grade issue.

Ya I'd say grades weren't the problem.
