Just to have a 4th body at the QB spot?

He doesn't seem like anything special.

I could be wrong, though.

Morris Claiborne was a 3 star.

how does a 3-star, at a position where we are deep, stop the bleeding.

He looks like a scholarship placeholder.

Why waste it?

tell me what I'm missing.

His videos are meh. . .for QB highlight video's.

He grades out decent, but nothing special.

What am I missing here, that makes this kid a must get?

QBs are hit or miss. Way better to have one to many than one too few.

There is no way we should take another project QB at this point. The only way we should take his commitment is if he comes in as a defensive lineman tweener.

Les is just trying to save face with the Gunner Kiel fail. Maybe he thinks Liggins can be his Tebow.

Your missing the fact that the kid is an athlete. 6'4 270 and runs like a linebacker. Let's say QB doesn't work out, he has the perfect measurables for a DE.

I think with his speed if he is physical he can be a tebow type I've heard he runs a 4.5 tebow ran a 4.7 I belive & he isn't 270

if liggin gets down to 250ish his speed or quickness should improve & I think he is a little underrated as a passer I like him as a qb I jus dnt think he would get a legit chance 2 play

After what happened in 2008, I'm surprised anyone would complain about bringing in at least 1 QB per class.

After 2008, we've brought in:

Shepard - now a WR
Garrett - released after 1 year
Lee - Got paid
Rivers - Extremely raw prospect
Mett? - We'll see
Randall - supposedly inaccurate

This has entirely everything to do with a poor job by the coaches and planning very poorly for things. It's one thing to continually miss on QBs, but it's another to mess up this badly if Kiel doesn't come in.

We absolutely should not take him. It will just cause strife in the long run. We have ample talent through 2014. Take a better QB in 2013.

All the more reason to have at least 1 QB per class. There is no telling what will happen to the QB we get for the next class and I am going to assume the odd man out of Randall/Rivers will transfer eventually.

If this kid can run a 4.6 40 yard dash, as reported by 247Sports, at 6-3 270 he should be athletic enough to play several different positions if he doesn't work out as a quarterback. That speed/size ratio is rare.
