5* QB JJ McCarthy officially signs

No doubt this kid is an impressive football player but I’m equally as impressed on how he seems to carry himself as a person. Been committed a long time and has remained committed as well as demonstrated his leadership with other recruits. Big win for the good guys 

He’s walking into a perfect situation next year, at least as far as playing time is concerned. He hasn’t even gotten a hold of the playbook and he’s already just as much of a candidate for the starting job as anyone else who is currently on the roster. That’s a product of him being that talented as well as our QB room being in that bad of shape. 

I hope he’s the one who is able to put it all together and be the kind of QB Who we all thought Harbaugh would be able to mold here on a yearly basis.

A New Hope...

Welcome JJ to a wonderful University, a bunch of fantastic teammates, a dedicated coaching staff, and a number of very fickle fans.  Such is life.  Just know that the vast majority of us celebrate your decision with joy in our hearts!

Now let's put an offensive line in front of him so that he doesn't break mid- to late-season.

Welcome JJ, way to GoBlue!

Blessed be thy savior. 

Phew....thank you JJ.  

Have JJ and Cade go at it during spring and hopefully one of them becomes the starter. It sucks for Milton but he needs to re-evaluate what he is good at. With his size and frame he could be a good receiver. I could be wrong ( and hope I am )but Milton will not play a down anymore as a QB here or NFL.

This kid has the ambition, values, work ethic, skill-set, and leadership definitive of the makings of a great "Michigan Man".  I've been excited about this kid ever since the first mention of him.  Ideally, Harbaugh will exhaust most of his time and resources on JJ. Put the other QB talent on the right trajectory, but, keep JJ involved with every aspect of leadership with regards to this team.  A lot of these nit-noids of the offense will puzzle-fit themselves together if the players can realize confidence in their HC's ability to lead and select the best on-field leadership.  UoM football cannot afford to squander another raw talent at the QB position.  It took half of a short season, and complete/utter disaster, for Harbaugh to realize that Cade was the talent the team required.  What terrifies me, is the fact that we will all most likely be waving our collective "Harbaaaaauuuugh!!" fists next year, as the boneheaded play calling continues.

Way to turn this thread into every single other one.....

Let's at least be positive about the kid -- this is a great get!!
