Ron Powlus was as polished as a high school QB could be, and would have easily been ready to start from day one, if it weren't for a twice-fractured collarbone.

He was a three year starter at Berwick, which at the time was one of the top football programs in the nation.

Stop the Tyler Buchner suppression! - Irishize - 3:54am 4/5/21 (34) [View All]
- That's classic Kelly roster mgmt. I'd wait for Spring game action before anointing. Not that BK - oldirish - 9:14am 4/9/21

  - I’ve seen a Buckner play [IMAGE] - BaronVonZemo - 12:49am 4/6/21
- Let's put a package into the offense for him. RPO and Zone Read. A few deep balls if they don't - tky21 - 10:02pm 4/5/21
- I agree but you won't find much of that sentiment here. Folks trust BK bec he's been doing it for... - Karamello - 6:16pm 4/5/21
  - He's not recruiting top talent, last top QB prospects that he had on campus for a - holybull101 - 7:51pm 4/5/21
    - Well....Gunnar Kiel rated #1 ProStyle; Phil Jurko #4 rated DualThreat; Buchner rated #3 DualThreat. - Karamello - 8:17pm 4/5/21
      - Backup QB went to Backup College and Gunner enjoyed video games more than P5 football. [NT] - ND521 - 12:02am 4/6/21
        Interesting how there's always explanation that's on the player when it comes to BK. [NT] - Karamello - 10:09pm 4/7/21
        
        Kiel did decently - ndunabomber - 7:44am 4/6/21
        Agreed. [NT] - Jerseymick - 11:04am 4/6/21

  - Big difference - ndunabomber - 11:51am 4/5/21
    - Powlus was a top recruit, he’d be at OSU or Clemson today [NT] - holybull101 - 3:23pm 4/5/21
- Potential is fine, but polish is equally important - ndunabomber - 11:33am 4/5/21
  - Here's what I see... - Domer From Hell - 8:32pm 4/5/21
  - And even Lawrence didn't start from game one at Clemson. [NT] - Napoleon - 2:02pm 4/5/21
- We've seen 12 minutes of highlights - Frankie V - 11:24am 4/5/21
  - To your point: Buchner hasn't played in an actual game since November of 2019. - Napoleon - 1:57pm 4/5/21
    - He’s not a top recruit, he’s just a dream [NT] - holybull101 - 3:20pm 4/5/21
      - He can be both a top recruit AND not ready just yet - Frankie V - 9:35pm 4/5/21
      - Yeah, a “dream” that Alabama, Georgia and other top programs wanted. [NT] - Domer From Hell - 4:43pm 4/5/21
        Brock Vandagriff and Sam Huard were the top QBs this year [NT] - holybull101 - 4:59pm 4/5/21
        According to 24/7, Buchner was rated #10 QB overall and the #3... - Domer From Hell - 5:28pm 4/5/21
        There's only about a couple of top QBs a year, it's probably a reach to call Huard a top prospect - holybull101 - 5:46pm 4/5/21
        And yet Alabama’s NC QB was a 3* recruit. [LINK] - Napoleon - 5:54pm 4/5/21
        So was Joe Burrow. Other than Lawrence, I don't think any "Top" QB has won the CFP. [NT] - NDavenue - 6:19pm 4/5/21
        
        Yeah, that year the top QB went to Stanford.and Bama took 2 QBs, the other one was ranked higher [NT] - holybull101 - 6:13pm 4/5/21
        Yep. The top 2 QB prospects from that class were Davis Mills and Hunter Johnson. - Napoleon - 6:52pm 4/5/21
        
        Doesn't fit his narrative [NT] - ColeyO - 6:02pm 4/5/21
        
        Look at Buchner’s offer list. [NT] - Domer From Hell - 5:16pm 4/5/21
- I've said it before - ND under Kelly: Where 5* QBs go to die....! [NT] - NEPA Irish - 11:08am 4/5/21
