Stowers is not a bad prospect.  He's improved and does have very good athleticism.  But he doesn't fit all in Jimbo's system what so ever.  He will flop there just as hard as Kellen Mond has.  Put him on a team like Auburn and he can be very good.  

With all of that said, Milroe is the better QB prospect.  Aggy tried to get him to commit.  Bama is still trying to get him to flip.  Last time I checked, Saban doesn't exactly go after scrub QBs.  Milroe is severely underrated in the rankings.  He has elite traits and is joining a good offensive system at Texas.  He just needs to be coached well.

Why would they complain to their moderators about a competitor moderators personal Top 100 list? Critique it, yes. Mock it, absolutely. But complain? That doesn't make any sense.

I actually like Stowers better than a lot of people but the reality of the situation is that no one going to Jimbo's offense is going to end up putting up the kind of career that would cause this type of regret. Now Drones ... 

 

Stowers should've gone somewhere that would use his elite athleticism not quash it.

The same reason those fucking freaks require Home Depot and Whataburger to use maroon in their town.

Milroe both sucks, and is inevitably going to flip to Bama, and there's no cognitive dissonance there at all. And random 247 countdowns are about INTEGRITY, dammit!

To be fair, A&M actually chose Stowers over Milroe. Bama chose Maye, then Mack flipped him to UNC.

We are fortunate that he fell into our laps and has stayed mostly solid while we were looking around

i may be wrong but i thought a ton of the reason Lawrence was as highly rated as he was was arm talent + being athletic, not being just an athletic freak like Cam or Pryor

the best part is that the third guy who absolutely does belong in that discussion as super athletic freaks with Cam or Pryor is VY but obviously they will not include him there

(and Stowers is nowhere near a 5* much less being the top player in the country)

That's literally 3 different kinds of athleticism. A prototype NFL qQB with decent wheels when he has to, a massive tree with a cannon and truck stick, and an NFL WR. Is he all of those?

Well, they really need to throw in a pinch of Mike Vick, a sprinkle of Russell Wilson, dose of Rodger the Dodger, and the intangibles of Brady, Montana, and Aikman to accurately portray him.

Disingenuous. Milroe was invited to and competed in aggy JR day while Stowers was at home. aggy offered 12 QBs and offered Preston Stone a full year before Stowers. Let's not act like aggy set their sights on Stowers and decided he was The Chosen One. Hell - Stowers, Davis, and Williams were all essentially offered in a bunch just before NSD. In fact Caleb Williams was offered while Stowers was on an UOV, so let's not act like Stowers was The Candidate. They offered Behren Morton within minutes of seeing him throw, etc ...

Is that an old screen shot?  If you go to 247's Texas state rankings for 2021, Milroe is at #10 and Stowers is #27.  

https://247sports.com/Season/2021-Football/CompositeRecruitRankings/?InstitutionGroup=highschool&State=TX

And if you go to the QB rankings, Milroe is higher as well.

https://247sports.com/Season/2021-Football/CompositeRecruitRankings/?InstitutionGroup=highschool&PositionGroup=QB

And in 247's overall rankings, Milroe is #82 and Stowers is #164.

Yea you see the major flaw with this statement is that it’s completely incorrect

I'll bite - why is this the prevailing narrative on this board? If I'm remembering correctly, both A&M insiders and Milroe's own teammates have said that Milroe tried to commit and the A&M staff asked him to wait. If anything, it proves A&M's stupidity more than anything else, so not sure why people are so vehemently against this potentially being the case.

That's the first I've heard of Milroe trying to commit and aggy saying no.  As far as I remember, Milroe was trending to Bama and aggy took Stowers commitment.  Bama ended up filling up which led him to committing to Texas.

Miami is basically the SMU of Florida. They're not in the same league as the top tier public school but they think they're more than they are

Not to prop up Miami grads, who are often huge douchebags, but it really does have some cachet in the Northeast. 

It's like when I went to the UAE and found out NYU had basically convinced an entire region it was an Ivy League school.

That’s ironically true in Israel as well. I was there with a buddy who is an NYU grad and he pulled that card a lot, which was odd until the reactions justified it. He didn’t tell them he had a music degree, but whatever.

Wow, yeah the more I look at it, the ACC is done. Clemson, Miami, maybe VT, and Florida St could be the only votes for. Maybe Pitt and Louisville. But they'll need 8 votes for a majority and I don't know if they'll find 8.

He hasn't made any decision yet. Jimbo is pushing for him and this will come down to the wire. He loves aggieland, the coaches, our male cheerleaders and all the other great traditions.

If he picks Florida it's because they "took care" of him. Us fightin aggies are too honest to pay players.

Getting into SMU strikes me as very difficult, similar to USC for very much the same reasons. Parents might even lie & cheat to get their kids in, humping co-eds bareback is encouraged but make sure it's not the scholarship ones.

I knew a San Francisco girl whose dad bought her into SMU. She spent her spring break money home from Mexico on a boob job and then got daddy to buy the flight anyway. As an outside observer, I didn't hate it to be honest.
