Hornibrook, Speight, and Chryst all had success as starters before losing the job at least partially due to injuries the following year.insinceredawg said:
Were any of those guys actually hyped though? I think Costello has a better resume than all of the guys listed. Rather easily.FremontTroll said:
Plenty of hyped grad transfer QBs have ended up not getting the job or only a timeshare.dnc said:
Imagine comparing KJ Costello to Gabe Gabrud1to392831weretaken said:
Every school he talks to is going to promise him the starting job. Any school he goes to is also not going to give it to him if he's not the best option. Leach took a grad transfer just last season. Gage Gabrud, Cuog legend in the spring. Rode the pine his senior season while Gordon started.dnc said:If they haven't promised the starting job to Costello if he comes here he's not coming here.
He's not sitting the bench his senior year.
Lake will tell Costello anything he needs to tell him, but that doesn't mean shit. And unless Costello is a moron, he knows this.
Hornibrook (Wisconsin to FSU), Wimbush (Notre Dame to UCF), Stevens (PSU to Miss St), Chryst (Stanford to Tenn), Speight (Mich to UCLA), Dawkins (Arizona to Indiana).
1to392831 has it right. You promise the job but once you get him on campus it’s best man wins.
Hornibrook’s 2017 stats are comparable to Costello’s 2018 and he was only a soph. And he led Wisconsin to a 13-1 season. Chryst also looked very good after winning the Stanford job in the second half of 2016 before getting injured in 2017.
Wimbush was a big recruit and one time starter at Notre Dame who it was thought would be a good fit in Heupel’s offense at a lower level. Interestingly he started the opener but then lost his job to a true freshman.
Costello 2018: 3540 yards, 65% completoin, 29 TDs, 11 INTs
I don't see how those numbers are comparable. Hornibrook was like every Wiscy QB since Wilson, a noodle arm game manager who did enough to not lose games. Costello was the first Stanford QB since Luck who secondaries actually feared. I know Hogan won a lot of games but he was a mediocre passer at best. -
Yards per attempt: Costello 8.6/Hornibrook 8.3.
The difference is Hornibrook threw too many INTs.
Costello had a good year in 2018 no doubt. I’ve written previously about how efficient Stanford was while passing in 2018 and how they would have won more games if they weren’t hellbent on establishing their identity as a power running team.
My point is that he isn’t a sure thing and hasn’t shown to be elite. He hasn’t even committed yet and people are already starting to ramp up the savior narrative like they did with Eason. -
