       This kid can throw and is not afraid to put the pads down and
       run. I really like what I see from his highlight videos!!!!!!

       Anf yes another local prospect going to SB, this is what it's
       all about. Long Island has a lot of talented kids in Football
       but leave to go out of state because of their good football
       programs. If SB continues with their winning seasons, and when
       talks surrounds the university with expansion plans, we will
       only grow bigger and stronger and more local talent will want to
       stay here and play for a winning football school, and that's us,
       SB Football !!!!!!! I cant wait for Football season.
       The Superbowl is this Sunday and hear I am talking about College
       Football season beginning .. Is anybody else on this board as
       pumped up as me!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

       More local talent also means more buzz in the local media/press
       and more interest from LI people. More people from LI will come
       to see the team. Higher attendance.

       AJ has not shot at seeing the field at Stony Brook as a QB, but
       who cares because he maybe  the most mature and pleasant kid you
       will ever meet!

       You never know. Starters get injured and backups replace and
       become starters.  I would love to have a local QB become a star
       player for SB, like Maysonet was our star running back..

       First off to say Otranto has no shot to play QB is way off
       base. This kid is a winner with a big arm. Last summer he went
       up against the best QB's in the metro area and finished 3rd. He
       can run a spread, he has quick feet, he is a winner. If you have
       not watched him play you really can't make a comment like he
       won't see the field. This kid is a winner with the tools needed
       to play QB ( 3 Suffolk titles, 2L.I.C ). With that said he has
       the talent to play safety, but do not count him out as a QB,
       cause this kid can play.

       2013 football season is underway!!  A dual threat running QB is
       not the prototypical SB QB.

       But that could all change. I for one thinks we should have a
       double option QB. lots of schools are moving to that type of
       offense and so should to, heck even the NFL is doing it!!!!!!

       They wouldn't bring Otranto in if he didn't fit. Look at
       Bednarski's tape, he can clearly run. No one is saying that SB
       is changing the offense, but as competition gets better you are
       gonna need more athletic QB's.

       I agree 100%. We are raising the bar in the Athletic dept.  so a
       high profile QB is/what we should be looking for , a QB who is a
       high caliber passer, runner, and who most importantly can play
       in the pocket.. If we really want to turn the corner in
       Football, we must recruit only the best now because SB is passed
       the "looking to get noticed school" we want to take this program
       to the next plateau , we want make that trip to Frisco Texas and
       win the  championship !!!!
