Both Harris and Kizer will be great quarterbacks on the college level and qbs I'm sure coach Miles would love to have.

After watching their highlights, I noticed that both of them are similar quarterbacks.

Kizer is a little bit bigger, yet doesn't quite have the arm strength Harris does. Kizer, however does seem a little more accurate. Kizer definitely seems to have a good pocket presence and seems to be the better short to mid-range distance passer. But Harris can throw a better deep ball. Although inconsistency is hard to notice in a highlight tape, Harris seems to have the edge on consistency.

Harris and Kizer are both dual threat. Both can extend plays and can make guys miss with their feet. Harris does seem to be a little faster, though.

Both quarterbacks will need better training of their mechanics, but the raw athletic ability is there. There is no doubt both quarterbacks possess the leadership traits and the intelligence to quickly pick up how to play quarterback in the SEC.

It looks like LSU and Ohio State may be trading their in-state quarterbacks. Which one do you think LSU will sign, or do they sign neither?

Harris

Both are very good, but I'd rather just take 1 of them and be done.

Harris. Despite claiming he wants to play in the SEC, the appeal of his recent Notre Dame offer and possible future Ohio State offer will keep him up north

At first I would have told you DeShone Kizer, but with the recent ND offer and a potential Ohio State offer, I think he stays up north. So I will go with B.Harris.

HaHa funny how all of sudden after ND offers, on 247 It's know 60% ND & 40% LSU. . At first it was 100% LSU.

I guess they were waiting to pounce on him once Rudolph declared. The ND beat writers are always ready.

All part of the QB dominoes that happens every year. Allen started with a big-time domino that shocked a lot of people that changed the landscape despite the first move on the board

This. Qb's are waiting for the first to make the move and from there, well have many qb's commit in the next 2 months. Allen suprised me and Did shake things up with Harris and I feel it helped us

Harris. His release is so quick it's insane. Of course Kizer's release is pretty insane too, but not in the good way. Almost reminds me of Tebow's throwing motion.

Here's a new article on Kizer from an Ohio paper - apparently before the ND offer was announced.

LINK

quote:

Kizer told reporters at the Elite 11 an offer from OSU would be an honor, noting that his performance at the camp “maybe would spark [coach Urban Meyer’s] eye and help me out a little bit.”

“Being my hometown school, that would be very nice, to have an offer from the big dogs on campus,” Kizer said. “But I don’t necessarily think they would just jump to the top. I’m also considering some very nice schools.”

I think he had to drop that or other teams would be skeptical about taking him. I think if he gets that Ohio State offer, he's going there and that could be why sCUM is taking his time with him

Notre Dame must have jumped in after Kyle Allen went elsewhere. Kizer had some very good things to say about ND.

Just going out on a limb and something new to throw out there, but since Notre Dame offered and an Ohio State offer is soon to come, I think Kizer stays up North.

Yes, you heard it hear first.

. In a recent interview kizer said academically Notre Dame exceeds his expectations, and seemed very big on them before he had an offer. Now that he has an offer to a good program closer to home, they have a great chance of landing him.
