[NU Sports] Parsing the latest Commit

[Roy S. Lamberton]

My personal feeling for Mr. Persa's abilities come from following him thru
his HS career.

He was nothing short of phenomenal, I think he may have even punted for his
team.

Anyway, I can see him arising from the huddle and throwing down and across
the field much the way Kafka did. Next year should be something else,
especially if the WR's continue to develop.

Having seen Persa a few times in spring and fall scrimmages in addition to
his game action, I don't think much of a transformation will be necessary. I
think Persa already has most of the tools necessary, and I'm fairly certain
he would have been good enough to win us games this year had he been the
starter all year. 

He'll have some different strengths and weaknesses compared to Kafka, but I
think the potential there is huge. 

I think the accuracy, zip, ability to make plays on the move, and certainly
the ability to run will all be there. 

The question is whether he'll get to be as good as Kafka was at reading what
was happening and throwing quickly to the right receiver. Given that the
offensive line should be even better next year, Persa should have every
opportunity to develop those skills. 

I could be wrong, but this is coming from someone who said all along Kafka
had huge potential. :-)

> did Watkins redshirt?

Yep.
