I just hope his middle name rhymes with "turk"... cause that will be a fun name to say.

These were posted in the RCMB thread. The first one shows a lot more running, the second passing.

He looks very good, Big arm, can throw on the run, pretty quick release despite holding the ball too low and he is a tough runner. Based on his stats and video, he runs quite a bit which is probably why he holds the ball where he does.

Coach D and Coach Fitzgerald like the same style QB's these days. Tyler O'Connor chose msu over northwestern, msu offered Matt Alviti last year who eventually signed w northwestern. Today northwestern offered Kizer as well as Durkin, so it looks like well be after the same prospects once again. Both great coaches can target good QB talent if you ask me. I think it also speaks to the fact that our staff is targeting more dual threat QB's these days as well.

Northwestern offering definitely says that these are bright young men would good character...

Really starting to like this QB. The more I see and the more I hear, the more I am sold on him. Sounds like a really solid prospect coming out of HS.

This really feels like a qb class that has our coaches in an almost no lose situation given the talent that's interested in the program and our staff. So many different guys that could commit that have huge upside. Some that we likely haven't even heard of as well too are on the board somewhere. Not that a highly rated qb is the end all be all. Captain Kirk is a testament to that but the sparkly stars are always cute to flaunt to the doubters.

HS 40 times are exaggerated and wildly inaccurate anyway. Unless you are at a serious combine your not going to have a string trigger or laser timed reading to insure accuracy. They're hand timed by coaches. You'll notice at the HS level, every RB from the south east runs a 4.4. At the NFL combine they all run in the 4.5's for the most part.

I think we're making the same point. He doesn't seem slow to me at all. I'm just suggesting 40 times mean far too much as it is. Unless the guy is a corner or receiver its not that important to me. A guy with a reported 4.68 is more likely to be accurate than the obligatory 4.4 claims. If the times come from a Nike SPARQ camp they're pretty dialed. For example all we heard from I'm fans was that Derrick green was a legit 4.4 and he ran a 4.6 at a Nike camp.
Sorry for the digression. Yeeaaahhh Durkin.
