Kenny Minchey is an elite thrower. His 10 inch hands that place him in the top 70% of NFL QB's. I
think his hand size has a lot to do with how darn accurate and effortless he throws the ball and the kind of touch he can put on it. A lot of NFL executives and coaches think hand size is actually more important than height.
Here are the largest hand sizes of starting NFL QBs:
Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins: 10
Carson Wentz, Indianapolis Colts: 10
Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars: 10
Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers: 10
Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys: 10
Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams: 10
Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: 10⅛
Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers: 10⅛
Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks: 10¼
He also apparently measured in a 6' 2.5" and 215 pounds. Seems pretty close to the prototype pocket passer with the ability to elude a rush and beat a team with his legs when necessary.
I like Angeli and think Buchner could be very good if he can stay healthy. Carr is a 5*. But I honestly like what I see from Minchey more than any of them.

he is only a 4-star rated QB...
There are about a dozen QB's rated higher
Geez. I'm not even sure why he's coming. We should just hand him 4 heisman's and 2 NCs.

Maybe powlus could mentor him…Beano is smiling somewhere

I like the optimism but let's not get ahead of ourselves, oldirish. He's a great talent, though.

I'll be distraught if he's anything less than what you're hyping him to be. Going to be
genuinely sad if he's not starting and doesn't average 4 TDs passing and 1 rushing per game next year. I'll be ready to jump.
M’on man, Kenny is no Drew Pyne.

Can his injured left arm take a hit? If not his right arm is worthless.

It's his shoulder and yes, it can. He's played 4 years of HS. Irish staff and doctors checked him
out and they are good with it. I'm sure getting him on campus and strengthening it all spring with Balis will be all that is needed.
If we keep bringing in QB's like Carr and Minchey every year it doesn't make a difference because we'll be loaded.
