flatwaterfan Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Excellent! I love his rangey build and arm strength. Good athlete. As a matter of practicality I was okay with signing Leonard here but getting homegrown kids is always extra cool! I love it when homegrown kids play for the state. (Must be part of my small town upbringing) It's always good to get your Qb committed early too so this is a happy day. Quote Link to comment

Going off recent memory I am not sure when the last time that has happened here. When it is all said and done he should be a high three star or low four star recruit. This is in no way the staff reaching at all. We missed a few above him but Heinrich is a solid get that will add depth for years. I, for one, welcome our new Kearney Catholic QB overlords. Perhaps Crouch and the next Millard North QB? Quote Link to comment
gorp512 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 So much is always put into the weight players will gain once in the program, but there is no way he is done growing. He can easily be 6'7''-6'8'' before he even enrolls. 1 Quote Link to comment

The only couple I can remember of recent vintage are Ryan Mallett and Osweiler and the latter was pretty meh. Quote Link to comment

Haarberg just looks like he has a few inches left to grow Quote Link to comment

They would be just too tall to effectively run the offense and be a decent runner. Quote Link to comment

I mean yeah you worry about the downside but imagine if he could really grind to put on good weight while continuing to add a few inches. If he could get it done while keeping his athleticism he could be like a taller Tebow. Imagine trying to tackle that. it would be tremendously taxing on defenders. Fun fact: I didn't know this but Tebow was apparently the top overall DT QB recruit in 2006. Quote Link to comment

I just think a guy who is 6'6" and 230 lbs would not have the quickness to play the fast paced offense which Frost wants. Yes, the bruising QB may sound like a good idea, but unless Frost is looking to change his style of offense, I wouldn't want to have Haarberg to get too tall. IMO, it would limit his ability to run the ball effectively. Quote Link to comment

It just so happened this is who we had in our backyard this cycle and it became obvious he was the choice after Costelli went elsewhere. I do think if things break right for him he could be very effective in this system even if it's not built for him. The best coaches can adapt the system they have to their talent as well as recruit well for that system. 1 Quote Link to comment

I agree that Haarberg brings a different skill set and body type compared to McCaffrey and Smothers. It seems like Haarberg is a good runner, but he doesn't seem like the breakaway threat running the ball like the current roster of QB's have. It will be interesting to see how Frost's offense and philosophy evolves as Frost's career in coaching evolves and looks to attack Big Ten defenses. 1 Quote Link to comment

Vince young 6’5 235 Mariota 6’4 225 Trevor Lawrence 6’6 220 Joe Burrow 6’4 220 Herbert 6’6 235 I think all of those guys could run Frosts system and run it well. Moving forward hopefully we don’t have to run the qb bad much with an improving OL and better playmakers on the perimeter. 6 Quote Link to comment
