Insightful clip on new 2011 QB Foreman...

[NewEngland_Gold]

tough kid, recovered quickly from a broken collarbone and surgery in hs...says his dad has been prepping him for qb since the age of 3! Apparently the video takes are from his quite productive junior season.

Great to have him in a very competitive Minny qb mix.

Interesting that he's been the qb of his high school since he was a freshman. Kill probably likes that a lot.

Nice video, thanks! Interesting that he ran the spread in high school, he may just be a nice fit in the Kill offense.

 

[we will win this week?]

I can not wait to see him play!

Impresssive clip, looks like a winner....so why exactly did he not get signed anywhere prior to us?

He did. He signed with Colorado, but then got his release when they canned their coach.

After he go gets what needs to be got, was it getted or gotted?

He never signed with Colorado. He did make a verbal commitment, but it wasn't clear that the new coaching regime extended the offer to him and he opened his recruitment back up.

i must have read that wrong. Thanks for the clarification.

Doesn't this pretty much insure(sp?) that Shortell or this kid are going to redshirt then? And possibly Nelson next year? Thoughts?

I hope we are always in good enough shape to redshirt freshman quarterbacks. If we have to start or count on a true freshman at quarterback in the Big 10 it may not be pretty. It's not common that a true freshman quarterback starts for a BCS conference team and is extremely successful their freshman year. At best you hope they don't lose games for your team and develop into a decent quarterback by the end of the season.
