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

[Idiocuse22&]

He’s not as good period no chance of that

Ok your highness! Am I allowed to hope that Angeli will have a McCord like effect on our team?
Or should I just hope he is ok and we limp into a bowl?

What stops Collins from now saying, “peace out”?

I hope he stays, but if he leaves, more money to spend in the portal.

I think it’s likely that some teams call to feel him out and his situation. Will he bite or not.

He has an agreed nil deal so not like this means he’s getting a pay cut come fall. He’s going to have to compete tho

Gotta imagine Fran had a convo with Collins. I think Fran definitely made a misstep by announcing Collins as the starter in Spring. But I’m all for QB competition. Neither is a proven commodity. But it’s nice to have 2-3 QBs on the roster that can potentially start at this level. Let’s hope we hold onto them until the portal closes on Saturday

Re: the bolded, I don't think it was a misstep, personally. I really liked that Fran wasn't going to play the tedious game of not saying anything so as to not tip your opponent (the one we're playing in 5 months) about who's starting.

QB is THE leadership position. The longer both the offense and the QB knows who is #1 the better, IMHO.

Clearly the staff has reservations about Collins, but he was also clearly the best of the bunch prior to today.

Totally agree with you about the competition being a good thing, and wanting to hold on to Collins.

Getting transfer QBs from Ohio State, LSU, and Notre Dame. Imagine thinking that even two years ago

We did get QB transfers from Michigan and Florida around that time

Yessir

I attended 3 practices. I was really nervous about the QB situation. You can see the raw talent in Collins but the other guys aren’t ready.

Fran answered the call again. He’s the real deal.

I got a lot of pushback when I said .500 would be a struggle with Williams in January. And that was after watching one bowl practice.

We all need to calibrate that neither of the new guys are replicating last year. But there’s a greater chance that somebody is adequate.

It’s natural to compare the next QB to the last but it’s not fair considering Kyle McCord was /is as good as it gets.
Angeli and Collins won’t be McCord so let’s let them be themselves and hope they crush it too.

Agree 100%!
I just dont appreciate being told what is reasonable to "hope" for.
Your post reflects exactly what my original post intended to.

Some people struggle with comprehension. I dont even know why i wasted my time with that one.

...if Collins or Williams don't portal now...

When we had one’s from Florida, Michigan and South Carolina? I agree with your point and understand these are very different types of players, just thought it was funny.

Spoken like a true fan from a top program. The ND fanbase would sell their first born son for the best QB in the league. What happened in spring practice wouldn’t even cross their minds.

Well to be fair Florida hasn’t been spectacular in a decade or so, South Carolina is coached by a five head and wasn’t relevant until they stole our recruit and Michigan wasn’t a title contender until well after Villari left.

 

[CuseFan]

Nice! Fran is on a roll with commitments.

I do feel a bit for Collins, but you never know in life what's coming next. Regardless of who is #1 or #2, we have two legit QBs that can back each other up, and replace the other if needed

I mean, I agree, I thought the rest of my post was being fair.

Absolutely Frantastic!

Or beat out Angeli, straight up.

If both of these guys are highly functional, I wonder if Nixon would play them situationally.

If you have 2 QBs, you don’t have 1

Miss St, Florida, South Carolina was a gateway drug

Remember when we thought swag daddy was a good recruiter lol. What a world now we have with this staff and the players they are getting. LFG

Peña was right?

Not anymore.
