What proof do you have that Angeli had an actionable offer from any of those programs?
Anytime you move the evidence from (composite recruiting rating) which is a datapoint that is objective and grounded in collective expertise, to something that can't really be proven (like Angeli having offers from the top programs in the country) it starts to get really murky. Every prospect out there is embellishing their offer list, and there's a lot of incentive to claim offers that they don't really have, or that a program never formally made, or even if the offer was actually a committable offer or not. Point being: it's hard to put a lot of weight on "offer lists" these days.
Angeli was a 3 star ranked way in the late 300s (pretty middling prospect profile). He has already way overperformed his prospect profile by being a borderline starter at the P4 level. He's already a program win. But I digress.
I think Angeli and Leonard are both pretty middling QB talents at this level and none really offer much more than the other in terms of raw production potential at the position.
I have been personally VERY impressed in the limited work Angeli has been given up to this point in his career, and in the off-season was on board as saying that the competition between Angeli and Leonard is probably legit because there probably just isn't much separation between the two. Nothing after 2 weeks of the season has changed my opinion on that.
Angeli - Tomato
Leonard - Timato
Minchey - Tamato
We need IMPACT PLAYERS that are production hogs, that EVERY INSTITUTION IS BENDING OVER BACKWARDS TO ACQUIRE ... but we just dont compete for them on the recruiting trail. And im still trying to figure out what the impediment is since Charlie Weis left. Where is the disconnect? Why isnt the most important issue in the program (the composite talent of the 85 man roster and how it ranks relative to all other rosters) not an issue at the highest level of the football program being aggressively & strategically addressed? I still haven't seen ANY evidence in multiple decades now that this "issue" is even on NDs radar at all lol
