A lot of folks are talking, and I get the feeling this guy is going to transfer to Bama. The reactions are mixed among Bama fans on other boards. Some people don't like it, they say we're taking FSU's leftovers, others don't care because there is some serious buzz about how good this cat is. Here's what his own QB coach had to say about him...
"I've never had anybody with his size who throws it as well as he does," said FSU QB coach Randy Sanders who's been around big-time programs since his days as a Tennessee player in the mid-80s with the Vols star-crossed quarterback Tony Robinson. "Jake has a really quick release with tremendous arm strength. Rarely does it not spiral or not go where he wants it to go."
Asked if Coker's arm is even better than Winston, the resident Heisman winner, Sanders paused for a few breaths before saying, "Coker's arm is kind of at a different level. Jameis has a very special arm, and this isn't any knock against Jameis, but Jake's probably the best I've seen in 25 years at throwing it."

I'm pretty excited about the possibility of bringing this dude in. If he really does have first round talent like people are saying, we'd be set.
A guy named DC Reeves, he covers the Alabama football team for tidesports.com now, but the last 2 years he covered FSU, and he posted this earlier in a thread about Coker....
"I've said this on this board many times. I watched the guy practice the last two years and he has as big a college arm as I've ever seen. He can also really move around. IMO he would be without a doubt the most talented QB Saban has had at Alabama.
How that translates with the mental part of the game is the unknown."
I hope we get him and see what he can do.
