Colleges are recruiting size and athletic ability, Pike possesses both of these attributes. Glad he is getting big time offers, I am happy to see any local kid get the opportunity to play at the next level and have their education paid for. I don't see him being a big time college QB however, would need to improve alot. 5 picks in a 7o7 last week? Not exactly a stellar performance. What's going to happen when he feels the heat of a pass rush? Should be interesting.

His exposure whether justified or not will be a great benefit for all Northern Kentucky football players. I would assume many schools will be watching him play, which will provide a great opportunity for other players to be seen.

Great point! This could propel many other players recruitment that would have otherwise not received any attention for college coaches.

I was on Rivals and from the looks of it Zeke might be getting an offer from Notre Dame in september when the recruiting window opens for coaches.

I'd like to see him at Alabama.

This Pike v Towles crap is getting tiresome. I say we congratulate the young man on his offers. Bama? Wow.

 

I find that fans of other programs that take shots "ie losing scholarship offers" are detrimental to this board and an embarrassment to the program they support.

 

Sad.

I watched him play SK last year he really didn't stick out looked pretty average.

 

Many other D-1 colleges beg to differ. Offers like this speak for themselves about the kids abilities so I'll trust these schools judgement and evaluating skills over opinions like ours. Remember Alabama is always atop of the recruiting rankings so Saban knows who he wants and how they will fit into their system. I wish the kid well.

I don't read too much into the number of INTs or TDs in a 7 on 7. For one, he can't run the ball so he may have forced a pass that he would normally eat. I'm guessing that the called plays are sometimes plays that they want to "work on" to see how well they might work in the future.

Wow!!! This is awesome news. Congrats to this young man on being recruited and offered by so many big time schools. This is really, really good stuff for NKY, whether you are a fan or not of the school he represents. These types of kids just keep bringing national attention to our area and exposes other kids who would have never been seen or considered. Opportunity for all and a win win situation for other kids being recruited, keep up the good work Pike.

Congrats to this kid whether he can play qb or not, he got offered by Alabama!!!!! Good luck to him this season.

 

I know some of you guys may be joking and so on, but lets not turn every thread on a Northern Kentucky subject, player, school, etc... into a Highlands thread.:eyeonyou:

This all makes me wonder why SK's back up QB is not being recruited? DJ Rabe got plenty of playing time at TE/LB and played QB during all of the blow out games last year Rabe is 6'5 and he also played Forward for the basketball team.

So you are saying Saban and his coaching staff are incompetent and don't know talent when they see it?

Alabama's QBs have been pretty average.
