Don't kid yourselves, this dude is awesome! If he comes to Tech, it will be beyond huge!
If he came to Tech, wouldn't he need to sit out a year? I didn't read about that anywhere.
Didn't Dooley successfully recruit the kid from California...Matt Leinart's baby uncle?
Kinne would be our most prolific QB signee ever- Bradshaw, Rattay, and McCown included.Originally Posted by boxerdog
47 TD passes vs 1 INT as a senior!!!!
Rattay was not that big of a signee, he made a name for himself when he got here. McCown was a big name guy, Rattay was not, nobody had even heard of him.

Yes. But then he would still have 3 years remaining.
This guy is a top flight recruit. I hope we get him.
This is only my opinion and it is very early in both kids college careers but I would rather have 3 years of Kinne than 4 of Jefcoat.
If the stats from that UT write up are true he intercepted more passes by himself as a free safety in his Jr. year than he threw as a qb his jr and sr year combined.
Finished his career by throwing 217 consecutive passes without an interception!!!!
This kid is unbelievable. If he came to Tech we'd blow the WAC away.
Is there even ANY chance he wants to come here? Or are ya'll just wishfull thinking? Didn't see us mentioned anywhere in that article.
Bradshaw did not even make all city. He was beaten out by a kid that went to Vanderbilt....and was never heard of again.
Jefcoat is not in his league. In fact, if we land this guy, our missing on Jefcoat turned out to be a good thing!
