assessment of his passing ability. I have no idea what Wimbush threw like in high school, but what stands out to me is that the other two QBs threw 3 to 4 times more passes and in total were much closer to 1,000 while Wimbush was much closer to 100. Yes, muscle memory plays into those numbers but it seems like with Wimbush's small number of throws, comperatively, it would be hard to get a true evaluation of what he could become as a passer.
For instance Let's say ND scouts went to seem him play 5 times and he threw 20 passes each of those games. In those 5 games he threw 50% of all the passes that he threw in 4 years. I don't think you can get a real good idea of a kid in such a small sample. Especially, when the small sample makes up so much of the total. I know a lot more goes into the recruitment than that, but only 222 passes in high school is kind of schocking for a kid you want to be your QB in this day and age.
