Smart, accurate, quick release, skinny legs. I am not sure his frame can add much more. If they go this route, they might not be thinking too much read option in the future. I don't think he is super athletic or strong to be much of a runner. He will get you the occasional first down but he won't break many tackles for you, and he will get killed with that body in the big ten if you plan to run him a lot. He can be a great QB though. So far, Gibson is the closest one I see who has the speed, athleticism, and frame, although he is not a polished passer . The same with the current 2016 commit. Watson was Meyer's big miss, although it was an impossible sell with the two in front of him.

Yet another VERY impressive film and one I had been waiting for. Incredible anticipation and advanced ball placement...really tight windows he is throwing into and makes every throw on the field. Looks like he might have grown a tad and his arm strength is improved. Throws very well on the run and properly squares his shoulders to his target. The only minus to his game is that he is not at all dangerous with his legs. I would say his mechanics are ahead of Guarantan but Guarantano is the far superior athlete...plus Gurantano's mechanical flaws are fairly minor. I still give my slight preference to Guarantano but Haskins would be FAR from a consolation prize...I honestly think he looks like a JT Barrett incarnate with slightly better arm strength and slightly less ability with his legs. And I think he has the ability to have similar results at the next level as JT.

I stand by this assessment. I would be absolutely overjoyed to land Haskins. I think he would be perfect here and really think he is the best QB prospect in the country...at worst top 5.

At this point if Haskins can run when he needs to (like Watson with Clemson) Id love to see someone that has more of a background with success throwing the ball.

Ultimately I'm not sure it matters as I personally feel Joey Burrows is going to take over from JT.

TW is a heck of an athlete who has a very high ceiling if he has the right QB coach. I say let them come in and compete. We should not assume the coaches are looking for a replacement.

The staffs recent refocus on the QB prospects is not by accident - there is a reason behind it and with one QB commit I think it's clear that the rumblings appear to at least have some fire to them.

From Brim:
From my vantage point, the thing to note is that the Buckeyes' depth chart at quarterback isn't as loaded as it seems. JT Barrett, Stephen Collier and Joe Burrow are present and accounted for, but with Cardale Jones' departure (whether to the NFL or a transfer) and Torrance Gibson potentially staying at wide receiver, a second quarterback in 2016 makes sense, especially given the fact that Wallace is hardly a finished product at the position.
