That is really a depressing list of players. When Leidner's name is easily one of the top ones on there you know it isn't good.

One of those guys is in the NFL, though! lol
 

Coaches became loyal to middling talent QBs like Weber and Leidner and stuck with them. I just hope Morgan will not be their equivalent. He's supposed to be a pro-style passer. With Weber and Leidner, we couldn't get much above 55% passing and neither was a natural runner, though they were asked to run a lot and got banged up doing it. Gray, Streveler and Croft had the most potential, but coaches seemed uninterested in developing them.

I think we had a period of time where the coach didn't want a QB with too much confidence. That would be a bad attitude.
 

This made me look into Chris Streveler for the first time since he left. Happy to see that he is doing well for South Dakota!
 

That list makes my stomach turn a bit. Haven't been able to eat since it's been posted.
 




Alipate was a 4 star that was relegated to throwing balls for the DB individual period rather than being with the QBs in a practice I went to.

He eventually ended up at TE.
