re: Malik Hornsby is in the portal

Should we pursue? I’ve loved him since he was in highschool. RG3 clone. Big arm and 4.4 wheels. CBK has done well with dual threat QB’s. I think he could be a he is man type player in the right system.

I'm shocked that he's leaving with Briles staying. RG3 clone is pretty accurrate. There's not many OCs out there that:
1. Have experience, directly or indirectly, coaching that type of QB
2. Know how to use that type QB to the maximum effect.
3. Have the skillset to coach of that type of QB.

In short, he's not going to find a better "fit" for OC than Kendall Briles. Even if he has to sit behind Jefferswag 3.0 another year, the benefits- because of Briles- far outweigh a year of #2. And he's not ready for primetime just yet anyway.

Do we want him? Based on Ian Book w/CBK, I'd say he'd love to have him. For immediate playing time? It's not happening at LSU, or Arky, or probably any P5 program. So what's the point assuming he's in the portal for immediate playing time.

CBK and Denbrock would probably love to get him to develop. But I don't think our and his goals intersect.
