Eh, only ESPN ranked Zwahlen 4-Stars. They hand those out far too liberally. Rivals, Scout, and 24/7...far more reputable recruiting outlets than ESPN, all thought Zwahlen was average. It's the Elite 11 bias.

For example, Fresno landed a "4-Star QB" in Zach Greenlee, an Elite 11 QB himself. Again, like Zwahlen, only ESPN liked Greenlee. All the other recruiting services thought he was "meh". Sure enough, Greenlee looked absolutely horrendous at Fresno's QB in his brief stints, displaying a noodle arm and panicked easily. He was dominated by Wyoming, who in turn was dominated by Ikaika Woolsey...to paint a picture for you.

The only time I'll bank on someone being a 4-Star QB is if ALL the recruiting services have high marks on the player, not just ESPN, who holds a bias towards the kids that attend their camps.

Give the young man some credit. At least he has more than 2 stars - Chow's usual recruits. Of course it helps that the players attend camps to boost their visibility too. And Zwahlen did have some credible offers from P5 schools.

Zwahlen was rated 2-Stars by both Rivals and Scout. He had offers from Idaho and Washington State. Many are confusing "offers" with interest. He received a lot of "interest" from P5 schools, not actual offers. There is a reason he had to settle for Hawaii.

Very Excited to see how him/riley/wittek and a improved woolsey do.

Mea culpa. And that means that Chow still sucks hairy ballz.

Instead of criticizing these kids and hurting their parents you should be encouraging them. Give your kids at least one star up from zero, hello. They might feel better.

No offense to the young man, but why in the hell does he have Mr Colt Brennan's number? It should be retired.

That's a lot of pressure on a young guy.

what a bunch of doom and gloomers.

Maybe wearing Colts number will motivate him. Why pressure?

Lots of recruits don't get recruited by some schools because they have made it very clear that they don't plan on going to a certain geo or have made a solid commit someplace else. It also depends on how deep the QB class is. And many teams don't want players that go on a mission. They need help now and won't wait for a player. All QBs out of HS are rated on productivity at the HS level and potential at the college level. This guy has performed at the HS level. He also has 2 yrs of a mission under his belt. 2 years of adversity and maturity.

I look forward to seeing what this man can do.

When someone accomplishes as much as Colt did, you reitre his number...it is classy and builds tradition. This is not a knock on the new QB. I also believe Al's 54 should be retired.

When you have over 100 players on the roster (including redshirts and scout team, etc.), you need every number.
