I also want to make it clear that I'm not predicting Kyler will be a starter, or an all american, or even on the team. I was just providing the little background info I had on him prior to getting on campus.
That being said, I'm not going to penalize a guy for playing multiple sports in college. The best play, period. If he's better than the guys who have been in the program, he should start. If not, then don't start him just because of his QB status.

Kyler's future as an athlete is slot receiver. He will make a good pinch runner if he plays for the Aggies. But I don't see how he breaks into this lineup. We have no idea if he can hit a D1 slider. It is silly to project him as a future MLB player with his average arm strength (notice we didn't try the Hail Mary against SC. Why? Kyler couldn't reach the end zone from our 45 yard line), and he bats from the right side and surely does not hit with power. If he was that good he would have been playing SS, not 2B at Allen.

I bet you my bank account Kyler can throw it into the endzone from the 50

After what I've seen from Kyler on the football field, and especially during the Auburn game, I think needs to focus on baseball. One, he is too small to play D1 football and certainly in the SEC. Two, he has zero future professionally in football. He is a great athlete and from what I hear he is an excellent baseball player. If he spent as much time getting reps as the other baseball players, he'd be in the starting lineup and playing well within a year.
quote:His uncle Calvin, who played baseball in the majors, was 5'11". Three inches of growth at this point would be pretty good, but still leave him well short of his dad. I could be wrong, but I'll be surprised if he really fills out.quote:

You do realize Kyler turned 18 in August, don't you? he's really, really young to be a starting QB in college. His dad is about 6'3" so I'd be surprised if Kyler doesn't get taller. I think it's WAY premature to write him off as a QB because of height.
quote:You seem to be implying he's 5'8" which just isn't true. There's a good photo from Saturday with him and a WR/DB recruit who is 5'10" and they are dead even with each other. Unless this is Hollywood where we make everyone else look shorter than they are so that Tom Cruise looks normal then Kyler is pretty much 5'10". Still not big enough to "know" he has a future as an NFL QB.quote:His uncle Calvin, who played baseball in the majors, was 5'11".

Maybe Kyler can start early since football is about over.
quote:I would say Kyler is a known amateur baseball talent.quote:
The bigger question may be if he hits .350 or so his freshman year, does he opt out of football.......aka Jeff Granger.
Plus Granger was a known amateur baseball talent. Was on Team USA (which I hear Slocum was not happy about at all, but that's a whole other issue)
quote:
He is planning to join the team in January. I heard he will play CF. We'll see, but I think it will be tough breaking into the lineup with just three weeks of practice while these other players are on the diamond 12 months a year.
