Now driving the Malik Zaire bandwagon

I've gotten to be pretty good buddies with Yogi Roth, who now helps run the Elite 11 QB camps and used to coach QBs at USC under Carroll. Good guy who was absolutely raving about Zaire.

Writing up a story with quotes for Monday (blogging on the weekend is not happening this offseason, unless there's an arrest or a recruiting commitment), but he thinks this kid is going to be a pure stud.

Yogi grew up a huge ND fan. Was recruited and came up in the LoVecchio/Jared Clark era but played at Pitt. Recruited Dayne while he was coaching at SC, and had a look at Golson and Kiel in the Elite 11 stuff the last two years.

Likes Zaire better than any of the guys he's seen since his era.

Have some good quotes from him that are pretty positive, but people definitely shouldn't be sleeping on this kid -- especially from a passing perspective.
