Keep recruiting the kid until he tells you to stop......and it's a long way until February 2014.

If Braxton Miller has a blow out year in 2013 like Urban says he is capable of, then that could change the recruiting picture, such as what happened at A&M.

Yeah, it is frustrating to wait on players that hold some other school higher. Maybe the 2013 season will reveal another quarterback (a la Big Ben)?

Probably the worst thin is recruiting a QB that doesn't work out.

Out of all things, we are worried about QB recruiting...under Urban Meyer? Gimme a break. Like MD said, Urban will recruit the kid until he is told to stop. He's not going panic and take a lesser prospect when there are bigger fish in the sea.

If not Deshaun, it will be someone in the same talent bracket. We will not settle for QBs under Urban. That's for sure.

Football Player of the Year: Gainesville QB Deshaun Watson
Watson set state records in career passing yards, all-purpose TDs and passing TDs
By Bill Murphy [email protected]
POSTED: December 23, 2012

SCOTT ROGERS | The Times
Gainesville QB Deshaun Watson is The Times Football Player of the Year.

Gainesville quarterback Deshaun Watson always tries to have his priorities in order, and the scope of his day-to-day activities is not just limited to football, where he led the Red Elephants to the Class AAAAA state championship recently at the Georgia Dome.

Watson heeds the lessons instilled by this mother, Deann, and tries to remain humble, even though he?s well aware of his status as the state?s new leader in career passing yards (9,360), all-purpose touchdowns (155) and passing touchdowns (108).

This season, Watson became only the third 4,000-yard passer in state history and second to throw for 50 touchdowns in a single season.

No matter where Watson goes, he tries to keep things in perspective. He?s determined not to let football success go to his head.

?I?m going to stay the same low-key person I?ve always been,? Watson said. ?I always try to smile when people talk to me and say ?Yes sir, yes ma?am.??

To his list of accomplishments, Watson can add back-to-back winner of The Times Football Player of the Year.

On the field, Watson is a fleet-footed quarterback with a rocket of a right arm and a near shoo-in to be named All State for the second straight year.

Away from football, he likes to step out of the limelight and spend time with his mom, who only months ago received a clean bill of health after a one-year battle with tongue cancer, older brother Detrick, and younger twin siblings, Tyreke and Tinisha, 13. When he has time, the family will go shopping, walk in the park and take in movies.

The star quarterback Watson also gets a kick out of taking his siblings to visit college campuses. Watson is verbally committed to Clemson University, and has remained that way since last February, but also has trips lined up to Louisiana State, Ohio State, Auburn, Florida State and Tennessee.

Junior Highlight Tape!

Go to work, Urban.

Reminds me quite a bit of Alex Smith when he was at Utah. Not overly fast but can make guys miss and is very slippery, plus he runs pretty physically (will need to ease up on that at the next level). Tremendouse accuracy and I love how long the film is...you get an idea of how very accurate Watson is and that he can make all the throws. He also has a good feel for when to zip the ball in and when to put touch on it. Throws a beautiful ball and keeps his eyes downfield while moving in the pocket. Really accurate while rolling out too, which is a fairly rare trait.

Needs to tighten up his delivery a bit, especially on deeper throws...ball needs to get there faster at the next level on many of his throws on film. Love his realease point though, makes him seem like a 6'6 QB throwing the ball (already has great size). Pretty easy to see why DeShaun is our top QB target. As much as I love Barker, I think DeShaun is a perfect fit here for Urban and is a borderline 5 star talent. Great blend of athleticism and throwing ability and his passing skills are pretty well developed at this stage. Get him in with Herman and UFM and he could be phenomenal here.

Kid is just so methodical and accurate with his throws that it looks like watching a passing drill. Leads his receivers with the throw and already does the check down to the third option. Different feel from watching Pryor's film where he just runs from one side to the field to the other and throws a 50 yd bomb or Braxton's where he puts on the same moves that he does now. Boyd is gone after next year, so if Morris takes the smart money then Urban might be tough to beat.

A little critique

Uses his body strength to break tackles and gain extra yards will work most of the time but not against bigger teams.
Composed and patient, but he has a good OL giving him lots of time.
Somehwat accurate but the choice of the placement of the ball slows down his receivers but he does put the ball at a safe spot from interceptions.
Good vision when running but not very elusive nor very fast. Will pick you some tough yards, but wont against faster and bigger teams.
Big and tall.
Leadership...no idea, but guessing he s got it.

Rivals $ - Watson reacts

1/18

Not upset about Clemson looking at a QB for 2013 because they told him a week ago...continue to have a great relationship with Coach Morris...says if he were to leave he would turn his attention to Ohio State and Auburn...also looking at Oregon, Tennessee and Cal.
