Honestly, I think there is a lot more information and access to watching the athlete once they are in college to appropriately grade them against college competition. He was graded before he committed to SU. Imo Villari was appropriately regraded and is better suited as a TE if it were up to me. If we got them out of HS, yes we would probably be doing handsprings going down Marshall street because of the massive potential. It may just be me, but I am very wary about transfer QB’s coming to Syracuse. Shrader is a bit of a different story because it was a total change of scheme, but we heard all year of CDRW’s accuracy issues, and it showed when he was actually game planned for. IMO I just don’t see him as an elite QB, who will be able to consistently move the ball. Even during fall reports it was reported Shrader was by far the most accurate passer of the bunch, and as much as I love Garrett he isn’t known for his accuracy. I certainly think he can come in spots and give us energy like the ND game, but to be counted on for a full season I just don’t see it. This isn’t even a vindication on CDRW. We all know QB’s win games at this level. We need as many on the roster as we can manage and let the best man win. IF we lose Sellers after 9 months right before NSD it obviously puts us behind the 8 ball on bringing someone else in and with the offense we run I wouldn’t feel comfortable with 3 QB’s.
