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.

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.

Can I get a trigger warning before you post the black sleeves next time
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.
Check out the “If Jimmy lands Costello...” thread.

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.

We like to bag on Loy when it comes to UW vs ND on a guy, but he was the only one that knew Asa was on the fence and leaning ND, he was the only one who got the scoop on McMillan after Petersen bailed, and if it’s about a dude that ND isn’t in on he’s actually been super dialed in with UW.
This is definitely a good sign.
Unless it isn’t.
Ektard:
“Sounds like his visit to UW has gone about as well as can be expected.
I spoke with Tom Loy and asked him what he'd been hearing, he will add his thoughts into this thread in a bit (he's pretty busy), but he basically said a guy who is relatively close to the situation and "hasn't been wrong" said that they felt Costello was headed to UW.
Originally, this person had told Loy he was headed to MSU, but said if Washington got involved, watch out.
Now that person feels like, if UW wants Costello, they will get him.
We have also heard there isn't a concern with UW's grad programs and getting Costello in (should he want to commit to UW).
Sounds like MSU and Mike Leach will get one more shot at him (in-home visit) this week and then he'll make a decision.
One more thing worth adding...sound like Jack Sears reached out to UW, but there was no mutual interest.”
It fucking tickles me that Ektard is reaching out to a Notre Dame writer about a potential UW transfer from Stanford.
KJ Costello was on campus today and met with new OC John Donovan. From there Coach Donovan laid out the plan for the new offense and showed KJ the weapons that would be at his disposal. The coaches let Costello know he was a priority and with him at the helm the Pac-12 title would be in play. It's safe to say the Huskies made quite the impression on Mr.Costello.
Surprised about the lack of interest in Sears from us and other big tim programs. I was doodging hard for him as a commit and thought he do well at USC.

This. He threw tons of picks and was really shitty. That Wisconsin team played nobody but Ohio State and Michigan and he still threw 15 picks in a run heavy offense. He was terrible.
Surprised about the lack of interest in Sears from us and other big tim programs. I was doodging hard for him as a commit and thought he do well at USC.
i think we tend to doog for recruits we've never really seen if Biggins gives them a 4* rating (like Sears), but he fell to eleventeenth on the USC depth chart pretty quickly for some reason and he never seemed to get any interest outside of local LA area D2 schools so maybe he's just not that good.

The moor damning part is the Boovs chose a three-star JC QB over taking Sears. And their pretty much the Pac-12 team that's employing the Macklemore Thrift Shop approach to recruiting.

He was the best QB on his team
That seems like one of those things that has been repeated so much online and on the radio that it has become true. Nobody actually has any clue and most of the evidence points to that not being true, but people still say it.
If he was really that good, he would have tons of suitors right now. I doubt Sears was really the best QB on USC. Slovis is good.
Lmao @ Loy.... I am liking our chances here though. There is no real upside for a prostyle QB to go play 1 year of air raid, it’s the other way around. I’m guessing he’s looking for an offense close to what he was running.
