People definitely take for granted how hard it is for it to transfer from the track to the field. You hear "oh my gosh he is so fast he would be so great at football" and it's like hold on pump the brakes real quick because they are definitely not the same. I've seen track kids you would think would be electric on the field not be able to get comfortable on the field at all that end up looking terrible and seen kids look electric on the football field that then look like a turtle on the track. Congratulations to these young men for making it look easy I know there is a lot of hard work behind it.

Slight exaggeration there lol but seen them get smoked in a track meet. They were more shifty, had stop and go acceleration and better with angles than they were at excelling in straight line speed. What looked like high end speed on the field looked average on the track.

Queen received a scholarship offer from Toledo.

Toledo offer is not a committable offer. D1 schools throw offers to kids as young as freshman in HS as a way of saying they’re interested in you. HS QBs are getting screwed from the portal so there is a possibility that Toledo offer may not be there a year from now.

When can they actually receive a offer they can commit too? Junior year?

They can give a verbal any time, but they can't sign an offer until they're seniors.

Which is a large part of why I posted the letter.  Hopefully the next Super will be a great hire.  I think we all know what a bad one could do..

Usually depends on where you stand on their board. But normally the offer you receive junior year are usually committable offers. It is very common to see kids that are D1 prospects commit before the start of senior year. But QB position is getting screwed the most with the portal and NIL. HS kids now are not only competing against other HS kids, but they’re also competing against the Portal and JUCO.

Is that really anyone getting a raw deal or water finding its level?
