that was a great post. Hope to be able to see Zach play as well. I live about 2 1/2 hours from Temple.

I love that it sounds like he runs in about the same type of offense Syracuse runs.

Also love that he couldn't pass up an offer from Syracuse over Texas Tech and others, lol.

4 year starter, 12,000 yds, 120 TDs.

4 year starter, 12,000 yds, 120 TDs.

I hope so. It would be a lot to ask for, especially for a team from the East, where wide open high scoring offenses are not as prevalent,. but it is much easier for QBs to roll up big numbers in recent years.

I think moving to the ACC will help. They had 5 teams in the top 40 in passing offense last season. The Big East had 1. Don't think there is as much emphasis on defense in that conference.

For context...

Don McPherson 2.5 year starter 5812 yards 46 TDs
Marvin Graves 4 year starter 8466 yards 48 TDs
Donovan McNabb 4 year starter 8581 yards 78 TDs
Ryan Nassib 4 year starter 6245 yards 50 TDS
Doug Flutie 3.5 year starter 10579 yards, 67 TDs
Ty Detmer 4 year starter 15031 yards 121 TDs
Pat White 3 year starter 6049 yards 56 TDs
Jim McMahon 2.5 year starter 9536 yards 84 TDs
Peyton Manning 3 year starter 11201 yards, 90 TDs
John Elway 3 year starter 9340 yards, 77 TDs
Dan Marino 4 year starter 8597 yards 79 TDs
Timmy Chang 17072 yards 117 TDs
Phillip Rivers 4 year starter 13484 yards 95 TDs
Colt Brennan 3 year starter 14193 yards 131 TDs
Colt McCoy 4 year starter 13,253 yards 112 TDs
Kellen Moore 4 year starter 14667 yards 142 TDs
Andrew Luck 3 year starter 9430 yards 82 TDs
Russell Wilson 4 year starter 11720 yards 109 TDs

TDs are going to be a challenge. Only Kellen Moore, Colt Brennan and Ty Detmer have thrown for 120 TDs in their careers. As best I can tell, as far as QBs from the East are concerned, only Chad Pennington (Marshall) has thrown for 100 or more TDs. And I am not sure I even consider Marshall to be from the East.

Just as a precaution and not knowing anything about the author of the "scouting report" (as in whether or not he would be considered a booster by the NCAA or a journalist), it is against NCAA rules to have any sort of conversation with prospective recruits (prior to them signing a letter of intent) or their families. Outside of niceties ... this type of stuff should not be encouraged.

Sounds a little creepy/stalkerish.
