Minnesota-bound QB Moses Alipate (Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson):

"I found all three of those things at the University of Minnesota.

ESPN - Tom Luginbill: Looking at the skill sets of the top quarterbacks in the Class of 2009

Best raw ability

What Scouts Inc. looks for: More often than not, high school quarterbacks are raw and unpolished and have excellent physical tools to mold and develop. When the ability to work at becoming a great player meets natural physical gifts, magical things can happen to a prospect during the first two to three years of college. These prospects are players who aren't there yet, but their tools give them a real shot to be elite college quarterbacks.

1. Moses Alipate (Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson)

Alipate has not been on very good teams throughout his high school career, but he shows all the physical tools. It is impressive how athletic he is given his size. Blessed with a big arm, Alipate can make all the throws, but he must become more polished and disciplined as a player, which should come under Mike Dunbar the offensive coordinator at Minnesota.
