How good is Lanoris Sellers really?

Isn't the back up quarterback automatically the best player on the team?

Seriously, we won't know until he plays some libe snaps against college defenses. All else is really speculation.

Checks all the boxes athletically. If Loggains is the QB guru he was sold as, I think he’s going to be a good one.

 

[Slim Chickens Gamecock]

He will have to have skilled guys to throw to.

WE need backs and receivers !!!!!!

 

[athenscock3]

If I could remember the list of all the incoming qbs we've had who were predicted for greatness, it would be long, very long. Most faded away but some rose to the occasion. Let's hope this young man can live up to the hype.

Checking all the boxes means a perfect ten. I mean I don’t watch the practices. How’s his arm strength? What’s his speed like?

MAYBE another Cam Newton ? Sellers is 245 as a freshman.

He’s 232 lbs running a 4.5 40, and can break tackles, difficult to bring down. He was also a top soccer player that averaged 1.5 goals per game…which is insanely difficult to do. Athletically, I’d say he’s as close to a 10 as you could hope for. Strong arm too. Here is a good write up from on3 if you’re interested.

Was that meant to be a rhetorical question? I don't think anyone has any idea yet. College ball ain't the same thing.

Sellers scouting report

Link says 6' 2 1/2" 217 pounds. Still good size for his age. Ability to read defenses and check into the right play is key in college.

The updated roster on the USC site has 232. That was when he was still in HS.

That’s what I saw too. Also read he’s a monster in the weight room squatting 510 lbs

 

[Fried Chicken]

If you watched him in the Spring Gams, it’s clear the kid has really good football instincts and a ton of ability. Those things you can’t teach. He has a ton of potential.

In no way want to jinx the kid (as I basically do just that), but this just sparked a bad memory of Joyner when he signed. I think was a video of him squatting a good weight that had people excited. I hate these kind of Deja vu moments.

Ugh, I was curious, so I looked it up. Hard to believe it was so long ago.

Watch: Gamecocks QB commit Dakereon Joyner squats 500 pounds

The South Carolina commit has incredible strength.

Who knows?

 

[gamecox4982]

The big question will be, when will Doty move to another position?

I think he's heading to a graduate assistant role.

Everyone knows the graduate assistant backup quarterback is the best player on the team.

Sometimes, sadly, that's actually the case.
