I'm not seeing it. Plays against questionable competition and has average arm strength. If we have the luxury of choosing between the two 2018 kids offered yesterday, I'll take Mayden.

The school he plays for is a powerhouse in the state of Idaho and they play a few out of state powerhouses every year. Their schedule consists more of Washington schools then Idaho schools. Just this year, they played both Folsom (CA) and Camas (WA) who are both powerhouses in their states. He is going against pretty decent competition.

"Powerhouse" in Idaho =/= Powerhouse in more talent rich states. Week in and week out, I would venture a guess that they aren't seeing as much good competition as the average team in more traditional football-rich areas.

Agree with all of this, but it doesn't mean the guy isn't uber-talented. (I haven't watched the film, FYI)

I mean the services rate him as a four star, so I would think he is pretty good. What if some kid in Nebraska put up these numbers, would it not be as good because they are going against questionable competition? I know you're not trying to hate, but I'll take what the experts say and what the coaches say on this kid. I don't believe we will land him, but I don't think its fair to judge this kid based on the competition he plays, he is really talented.

It's not fair, but it's generally how it goes. A 4* in a place like Idaho or Nebraska generally isn't as well regarded as a 4* in Florida/Texas/California, simply based on the level of competition.

I would argue it's harder to pick up a 4 star rating in a place that isn't typically known to be a talent hotbed.
 
Kid might not turn out to be much, but never turn down a chance to visit CDA. An awesome lake town with a real fun bar scene. Great golf course with a floating green too.

 
At his press conference yesterday, Coach Riley said his top QB target for 2018 was a duel threat guy. Was he talking about this guy or Mayden? Or is it someone else altogether? Can we tell this early who is getting the most attention from the staff?
