agree and it's beyond odd that people defend the abilities of the kid in the manner in which they do given the litany of evidence to the contrary
I am curious where he winds up though

I am curious where he winds up though
His whole recruitment was odd. Even while leading his school to a state championship in 5a and being four stars his offer sheet was light. In state Tennessee didn’t offer and none of the top SEC programs offered. Now looking back he was very overrated by the recruiting services but it seems like coaches saw it too. His biggest mistake was not staying in high school. He was not ready and it was stupid to enroll mid season. His second mistake was not switching positions. It was obvious he simply wasn’t a qb.
Was the NIL money important to his family? If so, would it be the reason he left early?
Guess Notre Dame offering him was a sign he was overrated.
Michigan and Oregon offered as well.
Gavin had some mighty fine offers and he chose Rutgers.
The talent was there, harnessing it is/was the problem
Sometimes programs understand recruits aren't interested in than and don't offer.
Also Gavin reclassified ( a quick google would produce this "Wimsatt would have been an older 2022 prospect but nothing out of the ordinary (October 2003 date of birth), but reclassifying to 2021 made him very young for that cycle — and losing a year of live action in high school could have stunted his long-term development.")
Unless you know why, don't try to use non offers to knock a kids talent and post BS implications trying to make a college player less then he was coming out of HS.
Here's an article showing Notre Dame's interest and note the date Gavin's class of is in it
>Nation’s Top Dual-Threat Quarterback Gavin Wimsatt Breaks Down Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football Offer
“[Rees] told me that they usually offer two quarterbacks every year and that I was under consideration,” Wimsatt said. “I was hoping it would be an offer.”
And an offer it was. Wimsatt and Oradell (N.J.) Bergen Catholic’s Steven Angeli were the recipients of the Irish’s first two scholarships at quarterback for 2022.<
Nation’s Top Dual-Threat QB Breaks Down Notre Dame Offer
Kentucky product Gavin Wimsatt, Rivals’ No. 50 overall prospect in America, added the Irish to his offer list Monday.
Funny that a Colorado Buffalo fan is telling a PSU fan to get off the Rutgers Board! The two of you should join forces with the FSU fan on here about who's allowed on this board. 🤣🤣JoPa and crew:
Dirty @ass Pedophile State U.
You're not welcomed here.
Hey dummy that Colorado fan played football for Rutgers, now climb back under your rock
besides playing for RU cubuffsdoug won the Frank Burns Award
I'm guessing the bus was just messing with cubuffsdoug
over playing for Colorado before transferring to RU
I thought the 🤣🤣 was a big hint. Guess not! We've actually met before too!
so 'trust the experts' vs your own eyes lol I never trust the experts because our own wanted Vedral in year 3!
90% of the posters on this board did not know you were joking or that Doug played football for RU
don't think anyone cares about the joke or who Doug played for. you guys keep this nonsense going are weird, like suck up weird
I'm surprised because this was common jab between him when after I first found out years ago who he really was. He doesn't post much so when the opportunity presents itself, one of us will take it. I'm a former Rutgers player too. He was way better than me.
Also wake up. When someone ends a comment with "🤣🤣" it's not serious!

GW has 2 possibly uncorrectable issues.. his lanky frame gives him a long wind-up with his throws and the other is footspeed.. quick feet.. he doesn't seem to have that.. he has speed.. but he has long strides that take time to get going.
That could make him incompatible with high-level QBing.
But he had other issues also that might have helped..
His reads are slow.. it seems.. unless his first read is open.. he has hit some of those nicely.
Footwork is bad.. not talking about quick feet here.. just making sure everything is set an pointed properly.. getting ready to to throw in a fashion where there is a standard.. a repeatable standard. GW was all over the place with his feet and they were seemingly independent from where he intended to throw and I think that added to his inaccuracy. I always contended that if we rolled him out that the motion of moving with insure his feet were involved in his throwing motion and, oddly, he might be more accurate overall... still not accurate.. just more accurate than he had been... might have helped him decide to run for yardage with.. a running start.. helping with his lack of quickness.
It is the things he SHOULD have improved upon but did not.. that is why I wanted a change at QB.. badly. I wished him the best.. but he couldn't be my QB anymore. Whose fault was his lack of improvement? I think it was his fault alone. He was either incapable of positive change or unwilling.
