QB Kenneth Guiton (official thread)

I'm not exactly sure how the Elite 11 QB camp works....but I don't think he was actually one of the Elite 11 QBs.

I don't mean to be a nervous Nelly...

but I'm hearing that the Northwestern insiders and also the Rice insiders are very confident about THEIR chances of landing Kenneth.

Anyone have the real scoop here??

I kid, I kid!!!

There are regional invite camps that they pick the Elite 11 from... Kenny was at one of the regional camps... I'll edit my other post to avoid confusion...

Elite 11 Regional Camps

The 2008 Elite 11 Quarterback Regional Contest runs for two hours. The first hour is station work, as quarterbacks rotate through different stations, with each station containing a useful drill to improve each player. Some qb drills are about quarterback footwork, some are about qb passing accuracy to name a few.
The second hour of the contest is the quarterback throwing passes to wide receivers who are running passing routes from a quarterback passing tree. The quarterbacks will begin with three-step drop throws (hitches, slants) and then progress through the passing tree with five and seven step drop throws.
The twelve Quarterback Regional Competitions will also have a special accuracy competition this year.
After the completion of the c12 regional contests, the top quarterbacks from these regional qb camps are selective to be one of the top eleven high juniors to participate in the national event held every year in California.

What a great job by the staff and what a great choice by Guiton.

Coming this late in the game, after the TJ turnabout it is impressive for the Buckeyes to reel in a QB this high up the ladder. There are, after all, but 4 other QBs higher rated than Guiton on the Scout charts who as yet have not issued a commitment.

All in all a surprise, and a very pleasant one at that.

Welcome aboard Kenny.

Grades and test scores look solid as well, which is always a good sign. His measurables, if accurate, are a more like Henton than Troy, which isn't bad at all.

Eh, now that he's a Buckeye, no need to edit, elite eleven is fine

[akronbuck]

he makes my elite 1 recruit Big need answered by the staff. Kosta moves

Glad to finally have a QB in the fold now. Despite being a 3 star recruit, we seem to do a good job of turning those guys into more than just average players. Best of luck to Guiton and welcome to the Buckeye family

AWESOME pickup for getting in so late.


Welcome Mr. Guiton!

Well, at least one high school QB wants to be a Buckeye Welcome to the Buckeye nation Kenny.

When did we start on this kid? It seems odd to have a Texas kid with 0 interest commit out of the blue without even visiting.
