Had two passing TD's and a running TD in a two quarter scrimmage Friday.We are going to be loaded at QB next year.I think Luke is like Connor Shaw with a huge arm.
Luke Doty
- Thread starter scgamecockfan
- Start date
Just keep em all here and find a way to play them unlike muschamp has done since Bentley took over
In line with current practices, I think he ought to shut himself down for his senior season.
He doesn’t have a huge arm. Better than Shaw’s though so it’s plenty good enough. Look forward to seeing him do his thing.
Always with the optimism, King.
Just puttin' it out there. The way things are going, you'll see it happen sooner or later with the true phenoms.
Might be a tad early for Connor Shaw comparisons.
Doesnt have Shaws speed but has the tools to be a much better passer. Definetly a 5 star QB
I'm no so sure about that. Luke has some serious wheels and is very good in the open field.
There's a video of a blocked field goal out there where he runs down what appears to be a defensive back from about 10 yards behind. There's no doubt he has exceptional top end speed as well.
He would give Shaw a run for his money in my opinion.
Recent years regarding our next best QB...
The year before it was Joyner, then it was Hilinski, and now it is a kid that is about to start his senior year of high school.
I will wait until they actually start in a college game and do well. But I get the optimism that seems rampant around here. I prefer the show me approach. Been at this too long and been disappointed too many times.

Leave it to the usual suspects here to sht on a good report about a highly rated Gamecock commit.
Typical for the FGF

Oh, my bad.... I meant KEEPIN IT REAL...... which is the usual suspects and the imposters way of trashing everything Carolina.
So, Connor ran a 4.55 at the NFL combine (which was outstanding); Luke has been clocked in 4.47 at camps. Even adjusting for the camp "fudge factor", I don't think you'll see a whole lot of difference between the two. Luke is simply freakin' fast, plus he has great acceleration.
Yeah. I remember peyton manning wasn’t going to make a good pro cuz he had happy feet. He never lost the happy feet and set all kinds of records
Joyner will never be a serious contender for us at QB.
I beg to differ on the foot speed I've seen him run.
He’s already a serious contender to be the #2 guy this year.
Kid definitely has some serious talent, serious wheels. In today's game you need a QB that can make something happen with his legs when the play breaks down. With that said, I'll hold my comparisons to Conner Shaw until we see what he does on our field. Aside from the talent, the intangibles is what made Shaw specials. Hopefully Doty can come in make the same impact.
What?I was bragging about the future depth of the QB at carolina l don't understand where you're coming from?
Love this kids tape . However Kinda on the wait and see bus as well . Remember when Connor Mitch was supposed to be the next Joe Montana ?? After Jake’s freshman year we thought he would be All SEC . Doty, Joyner and Hillinski all look great for a bunch of kids who have never taken a meaningful snap in college football . Love the potential of all three guys but let’s see what happens on the field first .
Those passes from Doty were impressive! Many of those were into tight coverage where only his receiver could catch it.
The most impressive one to me was when he knew the defender was about to cut him in half (and did), but he stood in there and made the completion.
That Shaw guy was alright too.
Yep. And how many qb's have gotten a touch for the past 3 years?
The guy he runs down looks more like a LB to me, but it shows good effort and very good speed by Doty. Doty didn't even have an angle on the guy, he caught him from directly behind.
We want him no matter what. He is great athlete who has 1 full season playing QB. In 2 years the sky is the limit. This year he will be amazing.
He was a very good WR before. If QB doesn't work for him, he will be a very good WR or Safety. We do not want to lose him.

That ball carrier had a 10 yd head start. Doty is determined and fast.
No, I don't drink. This reminds me of a thought last week. Something happens to Jake and the combo QB package (DJ and Ryan) leads us to 8-9 wins. It's not easy for us, but we survived and went on to a NYD Bowl game and win.
I do not want Jake to get hurt, but we never have another QB getting experience. I wish others are used, even for one series a game. It could jumpstart Jake. It certainly can't hurt.
One series out near the beginning of the game will allow Jake to slow his nerves down. Jake returns full of confidence.
All realities were once dreams. Why not us?

There is not really that much difference in their speed.
Doty ran a 4.62 forty at camp earlier in the year.
Shaw ran a 4.58 and 4.55 forty at the NFL combine.
Of course. Who are we to question anyone's decision, whatever it is or whomever or whatever it affects?
Rankings are purely political. Anyone breaking down actual film can see that Doty is a 5 star all day. The tater qb from California is only ranked high bc of his commitment to the taters and the fact that he’s 6’6 and can throw the ball 70yds. Doty is by far a more athletic and better player.
To be fair, FG holder is usually not a position that gets hurt. It isn't like he is covering KOs, blocking punts or the gunner on punt returns.
What I am saying is, remember how great Connor Mitch was supposed to be, Lorenzo Nunez, Brandon McLwain, etc? My point is, let’s at least sign the darn kid and get him on campus. Great prospect but slow down a wee bit. We have the next best thing with Joyner and Hilinski already on campus but I bet they do not see the field unless Bentley gets hurt.
That is a darn mystery as Muschamp needs to put in someone else when Jake is off or the game is in hand or out of hand. Maybe build some depth in the other qbs and have them gain some experience for next year when Jake is gone. That is a flaw in Muschamps coaching I believe.
