O\'Leary\'s Apparent "Talent Level"......
seems O'Leary's ability to judge talent wasn't as cracked up as we thought it was. First Chan finds Hollings to be the best RB I've ever seen on the flats and now he moves the 3rd and final QB to another position from the class that had 3 "future Joe Hamilton's".
The good thing here is that QB's can typically play other positions, ala Dawan Landry. But we recruited them to play QB and so far that hasn't happened.
It sounds like Chan at least knows what he's looking for and where to find it. It took some serious balls (no pun intended) to make that move. Got to commend him.
I'm excited about Reggie Ball. We now have someone to grow with again like we did when we had Lil Joe. If Ball starts the season, would this be the first time in school history a TRUE Freshman started the first game? I cannot think of another. It's a shame we have not been able to capitolize on the talents of Bilbo at QB.
I remember back to the rumor I heard that Godsey was asked after his final game who would be the starting QB next year, Suggs or Bilbo, and he apparently said, "Suggs, Dbo has a sleeping problem through team meetings and QB film meetings." That's strictly rumor mill, but probably holds some truth. Unfortunately neither O'Leary nor Gailey have been able to correct him.
