What a crappy-awful day for an official visit!!! 2 feet of snow and -27 wind chill factor outside!!! Wow!Yeah, let's hope he doesn't make any ACC visits before signing day since I saw at one point he was holding out hope for an offer from one of those schools.

Zipmeister Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Rivals.com reports the Nicely signing, but Scout.com does not. What really has me worried, however, is that neither site is confirming that we have locked up the Tonganator (he has monster hands)!

Captain Kangaroo Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Rivals.com reports the Nicely signing, but Scout.com does not.Nicely committed last night.What really has me worried, however, is that neither site is confirming that we have locked up the Tonganator (he has monster hands)!He committed. There is nothing to worry about. At least not more than any other commitment.Personally - I'm worried about Jarvis Givens. Rivals says he's committed, but I haven't heard anything about him.

Zip N' Dots Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Does anyone see a few QBs leaving with this signing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-mann17 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Does anyone see a few QBs leaving with this signing?Well, here is the thing, unless promised otherwise, he will likely redshirt this year (210 he needs to put on about 15-25 pounds). Plus Jacq is the qb this year. Chances are Rodgers would have to battle with him for the 2010 season. I think that is what he was promised an open battle to start next year. So maybe, if Rodgers thinks he might lose the battle, but I doubt, he will have the most experience and I think overall JD prefers having an upperclassman taking the snaps. Now, Miller, he might look for a transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Does anyone see a few QBs leaving with this signing?If the QB's are competitors, they'll stay. If not, they'll transfer.Funny thing when you transfer...wherever you go, you still don't have any guarantees. There's always going to be 3-4 QB's who want the ball.

GoZips88 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Watching the video, I LOVE how he did not hesitate once he made the decision to tuck and run. Height, poise, confidence, mobility, arm, accuracy, intelligence ... fun to dream a little, isn't it?! Nice commit for the Zips. The competition at QB should be interesting in August 2010.

gozips19 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 watching the film he has good touch on the ball and once he gets his foot work down (it's really bad) he'll increase his arm strength. in the rivals article he is quoted that he knows he will red shirt and he is fine with that. this is a great pick up and this class is looking very strong!

Perhaps we should be recruiting their center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Nicely says nice things about UAI think you meant to say that Nicely talked nicely about UA This reminds me of an ex-Zip O-linemen from New Philly named Brock Knisely. I think the fact that he played at UA has caused a few of us to misspell Patrick's name during his recruitment. Anyway, I used to work with Brock and we would always tease him that a certain Asian fan was always extolling his gridiron prowess, as in"that Brock Knisely, he brock very nicely" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmyboy Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Was just checking through rivals and noticed that nicely has moved up the the 26th best player in the whole state. Thats ahead of a number of players who had made commitments to large bcs schools. looks like he could be the pick up of the class for us.
