    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.

    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.

    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.
    Imagine comparing KJ Costello to Gabe Gabrud
    Plenty of hyped grad transfer QBs have ended up not getting the job or only a timeshare.

    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.
    Those guys all sucked. Costello will start if he comes. No guarantees after that, but c‘mon. Sirmon and Morris aren’t beating him out.
    Probably not but we don’t really know what we have in Morris or Garbers so can’t say for sure.

    Costello might have a slightly better resume than a Hornibrook or Chryst but he is nowhere near the league of a Hurts or Fields.
    We don't get nice things

    We don't get dimes

    We get what is left at closing and are THANKFUL for it

    Costello has the best resume of any UW QB because the others are FNGs

    I want UW to be aggressive in the Portal because I know the old doogs are all about we want guys that commit as freshman and bleed purple. Just be innovative and try shit.

    If Costello comes here and sucks then throw him out of bed
    Always wait to throw them out of bed until after they suck.

    Um, remember this guy?



    You really think Lake would start a QB against Michigan that he believes doesn't give himself the best chance to win, just because of some pseudo-promise on the recruiting trail? There's gonna be a competition.

    For sure.

    I wanted Newman but that was never really realistic.

    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.

    Who is ramping up the narrative? We're not seeing the same things.

    Were any of those guys actually hyped though? I think Costello has a better resume than all of the guys listed. Rather easily.
    Hornibrook, Speight, and Chryst all had success as starters before losing the job at least partially due to injuries the following year.

    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.
    Hornibrook was the worst QB on a good team in the last 20 years. He literally struggled to throw a football.

    As someone who has seen him live twice, He is nothin special. But the “good” news is that He will get hurt before ya have to kick him to the couch. Solid track record of that.

    If your numbers are solid at most positions and have a scholly to gamble, it’s worth it though. Low expectations should be had.
