Class of 2022 QB Steve Angeli (NJ) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (4/23/25)

[AZOrange]

So is Collins

In due time

 

[RF2044]

In due time

Yeah, if Collins stays:

• He'd get another year to be be immersed in the system
• He might get some game action THIS year, by design, to help his experience level
• He would get extra time to work on things like footwork, his throwing mechanics, etc. that were discussed as being his biggest areas of opportunity

Then, a pretty seamless transition to him post-Angeli, with the opportunity to be a multi-year starter.

Doesn’t Angeli have 2 years of eligibility?

 

[ezbeezy214]

And competition is good.

Remember when McNabb beat out 2 other worthy QBs? All three have done well in FB and life.

Very good. It’s funny that people were worried about losing Jakhari so much and he looks out of the picture

I believe one was Kevin Johnson who then switched to WR and had a decent NFL career. Who was the other?

This board is awful at judging talent. There have been so many misses it’s laughable. Remember the stars don’t matter crap we were spoon fed for 20 years meanwhile we struggled to win 4 games. Well guess what they do.

 

[Scooch]

I’m not sure why everyone is saying this kid is better than Collins. Because he did some mop up duty in a couple of ND games doesn’t prove he’s better than Collins. He couldn’t beat out a QB at ND who couldn’t throw at all last year.

Who knows if he is, I was speaking more abstractly. But I’d rather have Collins having to fight for the job with this guy than the competition he beat out this spring.

 

[Scooch]

Downing. Went on to be a doctor.

Bingo. It’s also the most important position on the field. I’m glad we’re able to add more guys to the mix and invest the money.

 

[dan7800]

Angeli is not here to be QB2. He’s here to put up ridiculous numbers and go to the nfl

That's what he's coming here for. However, what/if any indication is there than he will walk in here and be QB1?

 

[RF2044]

And competition is good.

Downing. Went on to be a doctor.

The funny thing is, we've had so many down QB years post-1999, a guy like Downing [who barely played here] might have been a quality starter those years when we were desperate for a QB. In 1999, he was arguably third on the depth chart.

 

[baggerbob]

Yeah, Fran was upfront with the QB room about Angeli from the start. He will challenge Collins to step up and compete to keep QB1.

And with Angeli, the LB just committed, and still working on the OL, Fran is not looking at a throwaway year.
Fran is looking to win this year, watch out ACC.

 

[Scotch]

At this point you have to be actively trying to ignore info from people on this board that know things.

 

[23Zone]

To play devil’s advocate, we know Angeli had options. If you were him or his parents, what would you need to hear to sign in the dotted line so quickly?

Money and Fair opportunity to start in ACC for a team that led the country in passing last year

 

[BillSU]

Doesn’t Angeli have 2 years of eligibility?

Yes!

 

[Scotch]

Money and Fair opportunity to start in ACC for a team that led the country in passing last year

Makes sense to me. I'm guessing he got more assurance on starting.

 

[007]

Yes!

Yup. Angeli redshirted as a Freshman in 2022

 

[721Comstock]

Screw 721Comstock and the Otto he rode in on!
I proclaim that the catchphrase "Agree 144%" is now in the public domain and that no longer must we posters pay homage to its supposed originator!

Can we get back to discussing Utica now. Sheesh, you people.

 

[JRHEETER]

Yea why he is transferring out of that qb situation where he’s the most experienced of a competitor is interesting.

Gee I dont know, because his old coach was Nunzs brother? And before that Nunz was the HC?

Are we all forgetting about this?

 

[bnoro]

Nunz being the HC at Bergen Catholic while Angeli was in 3rd grade probably didn't factor into the decision.

I'm glad we got the kid but he's not a slam dunk, Kyle McCord situation.

He's a Rickie Collins with a little game experience.

You think Nunz and his brother have spent any time in the Utica area?

 

[RedtheGOB]

Just a reminder for people that forgot about what Syracuse's passing game looked like in November 2023.

-11/3/2023 CDRW loss against BC 37 total passing yards and 4 interceptions
-11/11/2023 Villari win against Pitt 8 Total Passing Yards

For those counting that was all of 18 months ago. I know Fran and staff know what they're doing but yea I would be ok if we never had to do that again ever cause we were worried about hurt feelings in the QB room.

You realize “hurt feelings” as you put it could lead us to that exact situation because that’s when kids could transfer out lol. Obviously Fran was surely transparent about this otherwise Rickie would likely already be in the portal, but part of being a HC is managing your players and these are kids.

Well done.

Don’t think I said he was a slam dunk.

Just why he would want to come to Syracuse over other schools?

Also Nunz was the high school coach at Bergen Catholic until 2017.
