What I know......

I know Coach Herman and Coach Meyer love Watson. They feel like he is the more polished of the bunch in terms of throwing. They also feel like he is the top dual guy they are currently after. Do they feel they can get him? Not sure....Hence I think this is a little bit of the hold up on Barker and others.

Watson is a stud. He is still growing like a weed everytime I see him. He is a legit 6'3'' now. Very smooth throwing the ball and cranks it up when he needs too.

Elephant (or anyone else in the know), would Clemson losing Chad Morris be the key to Watson switching to Ohio State?

I've got to assume that Morris is pretty highly regarded when it comes to Head Coaching candidates. I think we'll be hearing his name a lot in the upcoming coaching rumors.

He is very close with Morris but also with Swinney. Morris leaving, should that happen, certainly would help OSU's chances but I don't think it would mean an immediate flip.

Just to back up what wad is saying about Watson being close to Morris. I found this on the Clemson free 247 board posted by Kieth Niebuhr when he was asked if Watson was a threat to switch, "Sounds like Chad Morris is a big key to this. We'll have to see how that plays out. How many schools will come after Morris?"

Gainesville?s champion QB: A golden arm with a team-first attitude

SCOTT ROGERS /The Times
Gainesville High quarterback Deshaun Watson rambles through the Ware County defense Friday night before being tackled by Zae Ealey during the first half of their Class AAAAA state championship win at the Georgia Dome. The junior accounted for five touchdowns to lead the Red Elephants to their first-ever state title.

Gainesville wins first state title

There was never any doubt that Deshaun Watson would be ready for the occasion. Playing on the state?s biggest stage made him an even better leader as he guided the Red Elephants to the Class AAAAA state championship on Friday in Atlanta.

It takes more than one player to win it all. Never has a quarterback solely won anything on his own.

But Watson has a poise and presence that lends itself to championships. He?s cool under pressure, throws a pass with almost flawless precision and will take off with the ball when the need arises.

As far as high school players go, he?s the total package. Now, as the first state championship quarterback in school history, he is also the pride of an entire community.

?Deshaun?s probably the best high school player in the state, maybe the entire nation,? Gainesville linebacker Devan Stringer said.

His final outing of the season saw Watson complete 27 of 35 passes for 304 yards.

The Red Elephants? junior quarterback gave one of the best performances of his high school career against a Gator team that earned its trip to Atlanta with a gutsy defense. It was just no match against Watson?s golden arm.

Watson set the new state career passing record, breaking a record that Zack Stanford of Metter owned for eight years, with a 10-yard pass to Tray Harrison in the first quarter.

But he wasn?t done with checking off an individual goal. He threw three touchdown passes and ran for two more as Gainesville became Hall County?s first state champion in the Georgia High School Association.
