2013 Projection: Learning from RGLCL how to look absolutely flawless in pads, hat and a clipboard.
How'd He Get Here: Basically, he visited Syracuse and N.C. State in back to back weekends. He just like Syracuse a lot more thanks to Coach Lester.
What did Scouts/Rivals say? Both Scouts and Rivals gave him two shiny stars while ESPN was a tad bullish and went with three.
Money Quote: Oh look, he's already got this whole QB speak thing down!
"After that I knew I was making the right decision," Kimble said. "I knew Syracuse was the perfect fit for me."
Links of Wonder: During his recruitment, he was promised the opportunity to compete for the starting quarterback job right off the bat.
What does Shafer think: A lot, apparently.
I really like our two freshman quarterbacks," Shafer said. "I wouldn't lose sleep if I had to get one ready to be honest with you.
Interesting Nugget O'Interest: According to the SU Athletics bio, Kimble isn't just a dual threat QB, he's a highly decorated punter. So there's that backup plan if the whole QB thing doesn't work.
