Greg Paulus

[tolnaballa]

I just heard on Sportscetner (ESPN) that Greg Paulas was in Michigan today meeting with Rich Rodriguez. He has one year of eligibility left for football. Be interesting to see what happens.

[Hurricanes25]

From what I here about him, I think he would be a great fit for the spread offense.

[iowatreat54]

4th thread and counting...

[bhaarat316]

i think its the 5th

[jsa230]

does any body on this forum think he could actually make it in the nfl???

[bhaarat316]

no he will never make it

[Hawk]

Greg Paulus for Heisman 09!!

I don't see how he still has eligibility. I thought you had 4 years of playing and 5 if you are redshirted. But he wasn't redshirted and played 4 years at Duke. Someone fill me in.

[Don Vito]

Pauluszzzz

[Texas Homer]

No, I doubt it.


He might be able to play B-Ball in Europe though.

I'll say this. If Paulus dedicated himself to training, working out and training with a QB coach for an entire year tirelessly then he might be able to find a QB job with an Arena team. If he works extremely hard and studies the game and then does good at Arena ball, then maybe he could get a backup gig in the NFL.

I could be wrong. I don't hate the guy and I wish him well.

You have 5 years to play 4 in any given sport...but the clock starts once you start school. So he has all four years left to play football, but since he started school in 2005 he has to complete those years by 2010.

So basically he has 1 year to play his 4 years of football.

[P-L]

This is being overblown. If Michigan takes Paulus as a quarterback, it will just be to compete for third on the depth chart.

In NCAA rules, you have 5 years to play 4 years of football.

[Smokey Joe]

Why would he go to Michigan? Wouldn't make a lot more sense to go to a place where he could play? Hell, even a D-II school wouldn't be a bad option if he got to start right away.

I think if he dedicates himself to football for the next year, he can easily jump on with an NFL team next year, either as a late round pick or UDFA.

[Sniper]

Well, his competition would be two freshmen who combine to weigh 1/100th of Charlie Weis and Nick SheriDEATH. Not exactly overwhelming.

[bored of education]

Can you say Heisman? :D

[LookItsAlDavis]

He'll end up like Drew Henson, just sucking it up in the NCAA instead.

On ESPN just a bit ago the analyst mentioned that there is no guranteed starter yet there, when talking about Greg...

Either way....I doubt he's being told "Come on up to Michigan and compete for third on the depth chart!" What does he get out of that? Doesn't make any sense....especially after the Green Bay stuff. He can either:

1. go sit the bench in a run happy offense (I'm counting screen passes as runs) and try to go pro
2. go to a smaller school and get some reps as a starter and try to go pro
3. go pro and get paid to learn the ropes

Why the hell would he pick #1?

[P-L]

Forcier is the guaranteed starter, unless he gets hurt. I promise you that. He is easily the most talented quarterback on the roster and had received nearly all the reps in practice. He already knows the entire playbook and is in the process of developing chemistry with our receivers. Absolute best case scenario for Paulus would be to beat out Sheridan for the backup job and get playing time if Forcier gets hurt.

[bhaarat316]

So which is it?

3. He would get paid practice squad money which is i believe 75,000. Now thats if he makes it pro, he hasn't done anything to improve his skills since HS.

[BeerBaron]

Duke is apparently trying to keep him there to play WR on the football team.

[art vandelay]

I don't even think Paulus could make it playing basketball in Europe.

I mentioned in another thread that I have played against Paulus. Let me tell you, he's a MUCH better QB than he was PG. I really was baffled when he decided to play bball in college. He must have wanted to save his body from the beating he could have taken in college football perhaps. The idea of him playing college football for a year is intriguing and I really think he could start for a D1 program somewhere. I certainly would not put it past him.

I'll post my personal "scouting report" of him later, lol.

[art vandelay]

And IIRC, Paulus was the #1 ranked pro-style QB in the 2005 college football recruiting class. He was recruited by Miami, Notre Dame and USC.

Here's my scouting report on Paulus, in true Scott Wright fashion.

Strengths: Natural QB...Very strong arm to make all the throws...Precision accuracy...Mobile in the pocket and can scramble effectively...Great pocket poise...Very smart...Fiery Leader...Mature...Athletic...Extremely productive...Ultra competitive

Weaknesses: Short for a QB...Thin, needs to put on 15-30 lbs of weight/muscle...Tends to trust his arm too much and force balls into small windows to almost "challenge" the DB...Questionable decision making at times...Played against inferior high school competition...Hasn't played football competitively in 4 years...Might not be committed to football, doesn't love the sport as much as he loves basketball

Notes: Rated #1 QB for the 2005 college football recruiting class by recruiting legend Tom Lemming

NFL Comparison: Drew Brees

You can't really make a scouting report for Paulus, he has never even practiced let alone played at the college level. Perhaps he could've been a Drew Brees type player had he chosen football as his sport but he didn't.

This scouting report is based on his high school play obviously. As for the comparison, he is obviously nowhere near the player Brees is, its just the type of player he is.

[BrownsTown]

Every short white QB being Drew Brees is just hilarious.

[art vandelay]

Every short white QB being Drew Brees is just hilarious.

Except if you have ever watched Paulus, you would know that being short and white have nothing to do with the comparison. Paulus' strong arm, very good accuracy (high completion %), pocket presence, competitive fiery attitude, etc. is where the comparison is. In addition, I think Brees tends to force throws like Paulus does as well. Both are mobile but would rather throw than run. Pretty much everything that Paulus does well and not well screams Drew Brees. You could say Jeff Garcia comparison would work as well but Paulus really does have a better arm than Jeff.

He is NOT going to compete for the starting spot. I hate ESPN for blowing this out of proportion. I'd say there is a 75% chance he doesn't take a single snap this season and a 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999% chance he never starts a game. Tate Forcier is the starter, everyone else is competing for #2.

Then why is he even interested? Is Rodriguez just lying to him and telling him he will compete?

And what happens when (not if...when) Forcier gets injurred? You still don't think he'd start?

What does Rodriguez's courting of Paulus say about Forcier......what does it say to Forcier?



ESPN might be blowing the possible addition of Paulus out of proportion......but the way your coach has handled this isn't being talked about enough. This guy just can't handle personnel at all.

And now HindSight looks like a 'tard since UM dropped Paulus.

If Rodriguez doesn't know how to handle personnel, do tell how he managed to be successful at his previous coaching stop.

Has Chekwa recovered from his third-degree burns that Texas put on him?

[ToldLikeItIs]

Paulus is going to dethrone that worthless, immature whiner Forcier.

I think this move could solidify Rich Rodriguez as the legendary mad genius.

All I see lacking from Paulus is weight, and he should be able to put on 20 lbs with relative ease. If anything, that will only improve his already + arm strength.

This kid, the second he steps on campus, will have the best feet of any qb in the country. Do you realize how quick you have to be to compete at PG in the ACC for four years against the likes of Sean Singletary, Tywan Lawson, Raymond Felton, Javaris Crittenton, Jarrett Jack, Guillermo Diaz, DJ Strawberry etc?

At first I questioned this move, now I love it. I would wager barring an injury to Paulus, Forcier transfers by the time Robinson gets on campus.

UM dropped Paulus after they were interested in him....so I hardly "look like a tard". I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they dropped him because of how pissy it made Forcier.

How was Rodriguez successful at WVU? Let's see.....the 3 best teams from the conference up and left, he was lucky enough to have Pat White & Steve Slaton at the same time...

Clearly he's competent as a football coach....but he's also clearly in over his head so far at Michigan. You can do whatever you want at WVU and nobody cares. People got a little uppity when he almost gave the #1 jersey to a DB at Michigan.

[Sniper]

Right, because a guy who hasn't played QB in four years is really a huge threat to Forcier.

10 of 22 commits last year were defensive players. 1 was a kicker, and 11 were on offense. But yeah, he sure is ignoring the defense with players like Will Campbell, Justin Turner, Anthony LaLota, Craig Roh, Vlad Emilien etc...Michigan has a whopping one less defensive commitment than Ohio State this year. ZOMGZ IGNORING THE DEFENSEzZZ!!!!eleventyone!

[HindSight]

Yeah....I'm irrational. I make a statement and you fly off the hinge.

Apparently in the new Michigan mindset just getting players to commit means you're not ignoring the D. Congrats on Will Campbell and Justin Turner (kids who would be at Michigan regardless of the coach). Lalota is going to red-shirt. Vlad's an iffy get. Roh is the only real get on your entire list.

Where are the LBs? Where's the DLine? Is Campbell going to tackle everybody? That'll be hard for him considering the number of plays he takes off.

LBs- There are very few spots available on the roster for him to give up scholarships.

-Don't act like a child and don't put words in my mouth. Michigan needs help NOW on defense, and that kid redshirting isn't going to help. Besides that....if you have to redshirt because you aren't good/big enough to play on this years Michigan team...I'm going to question your abilities. He's also probably going to end up on the OLine.

So yeah, he must suck if he's only played two years of high school football. In New Jersey, nonetheless. A far cry from Texas, California, Florida etc...Yet coaches from Florida, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Notre Dame, etc... all deemed him worthy of a scholarship offer as a DE. Fantastic logic! Jake Long once redshirted. He probably ended up as a major flop.

-There's very few spots....yet he's given out over 100 schollies? How does that make sense? If there are so few spots, why are there continued offers being put out to undersized scat backs and slot dots?

Reading comprehension FTW! There are few spots at LB, hence why I put "there only a few spots" next to the LB line. Of the LBs listed on the current spring roster, the only one who doesn't return next year, barring an unforeseen major rise up the draft rankings, is Ohene Opong-Owusu, a walk-on who's never played a down. Besides him, look at this...

Brandin Hawthorne, true freshman
Brandon Herron, redshirt sophomore
J.B Fitzgerald, true sophomore
Jonas Mouton, redshirt junior
Kenny Demens, true sophomore
Kevin Leach, redshirt sophomore walk-on who saw a decent amount of time
Marell Evans, junior
Obi Ezeh, redshirt junior

and then two more walk-ons who won't play. The reason why he is offering so many slots and scat backs is because there were none on the roster prior to his arrival. The slot receiver position is a major cog of this offense, and scat backs also play a big role. Because of Terrence Robinson's injury and subsequent redshirting last year, Martavious Odoms, a non-early enrollee was the unquestioned starter and Toney Clemons, at 6'3"/210/4.5, was #2 in the slot. Clemons fit RR's slot, oh, about as well as Maurice Wells fits into Ohio State's power I game. Rodriguez needs slots and scat backs for his offense to run as efficiently as possible. Now, Odoms comes back, Robinson is a redshirt freshman, and incoming freshmen Jeremy Gallon, Teric Jones, and Je'Ron Stokes could/will see time in the slot. There wasn't even a two-deep at slot receiver last year, so that's why he's offering so many.

-Wow, you can count. Only two of those DL are any good. That's why I mentioned them. Are you going to only play 2 DLinemen? That'll be fun to run against.

Uh, no. There's this guy. He's not bad. Goes by the name of Brandon. You may or may not have heard of him. Apparently, he's pretty good at that whole "tackle the guy in the backfield" process that so many coaches get excited about. May or may not have finished fourth in the conference in sacks despite missing two games, and may or may not have been tied with a first-rounder in TFLs, despite playing two less games than that first-rounder. Check him out. He's supposed to be decent.

Also, there's this other guy you may or may not have heard of. Was named first or second team Freshman All-American by pretty much anyone who watches football. Also supposed to be pretty good.

-Oh....so we're playing the ND game of blaming the previous coach for anything bad. OK. If it's LLoyd's fault....wouldn't Rodriguez want to, you know, correct it? Since he's such a great coach and all.

I'm not blaming the previous coach for everything bad. Hyperbole is super! And are you honestly expecting a bunch of true freshmen to fix everything? That's mighty big of you. Lloyd Carr didn't recruit a single DE for two years. You read that correctly. He did not land a single DE, at a position that requires two starters, for TWO ************* YEARS. Atrocious LB recruiting is nothing new to UM, so please stop pretending like it's Rodriguez's fault.

But what's this?

I can't see your chart. It doesn't show up for me. However, what I do know is this. Rodriguez recruited three DL last year, all of which were ranked highly by those super-duper recruiting services. Between the three of them, there were offers from USC, Florida, Miami, Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State, ND, Cal etc...He got 2-3 linebackers (depends where I. Bell and M. Jones play). In the previous class, he got a badass DT and 4 LBs. One didn't qualify, and the other transferred to YSU to be closer to home. ZOMGZ IGNORING DEFENZESZZZZZZZ!

Wow. Is he from that area, or just one of the only teams to give him a shot?

Yup he went to CBA which is about 10 mins from SU which is close to where I live too. I actually played against Paulus in HS when I played DB for Onondaga.

He should have gone to UNC this year. And then written a book about playing for both sides of that rivalry(even though its different sports).

Although the story would be incredible if he did succeed, I see little chance of it. He's a great athlete don't get me wrong there but as smart and athletic as he may be, learning a college football playbook after playing basketball the last four years is going to be one hell of a transition. I'm pulling for him, though. Great competitor.

Mike Hart's school?

That is correct sir! I didn't get to play with him though because when he was a senior I was a freshman playing Junior Varsity. I played with his brother Chris Hart though.

Paulus to Syracuse

Whats Chris up too? He was a great athlete. Murray was incredibly fun to watch too. I need to catch a UCF game.

And as for Paulus, hopefully he still has his 5* right arm in him. He should, in my opinion, start from day 1.

Get Cuse back on the map, Paulus!

I have to confess I don't really understand what Paulus is doing. I mean, he just recently realized he had no shot at the NBA? Should have gotten an advisor. Either way, one year at Syracuse: best case scenario=Getting cut during someone's training camp.

North Carolina.
