Video: Andrew Fitzgerald and Denzel Okafor - Every Snap (Semper Fi Bowl)

I'm not impressed at all by Fitzgerald, he loafs(quits on the play) and doesn't have a good ball get off

 
You can fix loafing and slow ball get off. You cant coach size, length, and speed. Fitz will be a good player for us.

I agree to a degree. There are a couple of tangibles that you have to discuss here.

A.) They had him playing a ton of read. The goal in that position isn't to "get off", it's to get set. Something he did fairly well.

B.) This is an East/West All-Star game, only five percent of the kids are giving it all out there. The rest are getting their name out, enjoying the accolades, networking and trying to stay healthy for their freshman year. Judging a kid's quit off of an All-Star game is kind of ludicrous.

That said, I would have liked to have seen him create more separation and show some quicker hands. I think he's going to be a talent for us but the story all along has been that he's a raw prospect that could have tremendous upside. He was the star of the East/West practices according to some of the coaches. We'll see how it plays out. But I think we should be careful when using these games to pass judgement.
