My point was and is that AJ Long, particularly with his Syracuse bicep tattoo and his many many twitter posts of love and recruiting for SU, has effectively shut down his recruiting.  He loves SU.  I would think that other schools contact him and he voices his love for SU and that he is solid, so other teams don't go down that path and won't offer him, because it does no good and it doesn't look good for a first tier team to offer a kid and have him turn it down for SU.  Thus, AJ Long isn't likely to get any other offers from first tier schools.
 
Edouard has offers from other schools, but we don't know whether other schools offered him to come in at QB, WR or DB or what. 
 
I think both of them are huge gets for SU and they both have a great chance to be successful here, to change this program for the better, and to showcase skills for the NFL. 
 
I just don't know that it is accurate to say that one is more sought after, highly regarded or better as a QB than the other.  Sought after as measured by offers, no question Edouard has more offers, but again we don't know that those are QB offers or if he was offered to go to other schools as a DB or if he was offered as a QB, but those other schools have no intent to have him as a QB and plan to switch him to another position upon his arrival on campus.  It could very well be that Edouard's only offer to play QB is SU.  I don't know either way and I'm not hooked in to the recruiting network any more than anyone else.
