As previously stated, highly recruited high school QB's don't always become good college QB's, even with good mentors/coaches.  I'd say it's probably 50-50.  ...

about 44% of five-star pro-style QBs get drafted, at least per this old data... (http://mgoblog.com/diaries/5-stars-first...ecruit-pro)

Of course five-star QBs are rare. In fact, Stanford's only got one on the roster -- Davis Mills.

I know it's WAY too early to really worry about this, but when a young guy likes KJ Costello, a redshirt freshman with four years of eligibility remaining, wins the starting job at QB, I wonder about the impact it's going to have on the current redshirt and perhaps next year's recruit. As people have mentioned, Rosen perhaps didn't come in part because he didn't want to sit. I guess we should be so lucky to have Costello emerge as a clear #1 and provide strong QB play the next 4 years, but I'm a glass half full kind of guy.
