Saturday morning with Rocky Mountain Gunslingers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>On Saturday, July 19, I went out to take a look at some impressive signal callers in the state. It was a good group of nine signal callers in the state. Let's dig in with the top five on the day.<br><br></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944698"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687e205b818c6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sweeney has a great frame, will continue to grow into it, and will be a tank of a signal caller. He has a big time arm, easily the best velocity of any of the signal callers on the day, and has a tight spiral. Sweeney is pure arm talent right now. Even when his mechanics are off, his arm still makes the play. He throws well on the run and has a beautiful deep ball. It was a great day for him, and he has a big season ahead of him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1720083"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687e205b81958"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jacobson has a big frame and once he fills out, should get to about 190-200lbs with relative ease. He moves well, has good athletic movement around the pocket, and is a player who doesn't labor when being asked to make off-platform throws. He has good arm talent; his delivery is quick and precise. He doesn't need to put a lot behind his deep balls and showcases good velocity. Jacobson throws a tight spiral and did a good job dotting the ball all over the field. He was someone who caught the eye.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1699182"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687e205b819ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bird had himself a day. It was my first time laying eyes on him, and he quickly caught my eye. He is a natural passer, with a tight spiral, quick delivery, good fundamentals, and good accuracy and ball placement. Bird throws a tight spiral and makes off-platform throws with ease. Because he is fundamentally sound and has a compact delivery, he's able to make all the throws you want to see. He was impressive on the day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1720082"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687e205b81a39"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pehrson has a frame that he'll continue to grow into. His delivery is good and compact. He throws a good intermediate and deep ball. He does well throwing on the run and has good zip on the ball. He's accurate with his intermediate throws, and when he lets it rip, he gets into a good rhythm and has good ball placement. He got better as the session went on and got more comfortable the longer it went. It was a good day for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["905112"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687e205b81aa7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Orchard has a nice compact delivery and throws with good zip on the ball. He throws with a nice tight spiral, moves well around the pocket, and makes good throws on the run. When his footwork is good, he makes all the necessary throws you want to see. Orchard has good arm talent, and as the session went on, he got more comfortable and was best on the day when he was asked to move and throw on the run. Big final year ahead for him as he'll look to take Provo on a deep postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those were the five that caught my eye on the day.
