I'm sure what Embo has told him is that he will have a fair shot to earn playing time and that he won't be redshirted unless he is down the depth chart. If Dillon is playing it means that Wood is hurt, Hirsch is hurt or not there, Schrock isn't getting it done. Ouch.
At the same time it makes sense to tell the majority of incoming Fr. that they aren't planning on redshirting them. If you tell someone that they are going to RS they may naturally not work and prepare as well as they would if they are hoping to play.
Yeah - I'm not reading too much into this. Unless Dillon comes in and blows the doors off, it would seem logical to give him another year of eligibility to learn the system.
Embree promised Dillon a shot to start. He promised the team all freshman would have a chance to play this year. He promised that no veteran was safe from competition.
Not really that big a deal. Now if Dillon does play this year, I have seen enough from wood, hirshman and schrock that I would be confident we have a star in Shane Dillon. He is gonna have to be an absolute stud to overtake those three in his first year here. Biggest thing holding him back would be his knowledge of the playbook. Also his size. I would be interested to see how much he has bulked up now that he is done with bball and his shoulder is healed.
Will end up RS. No doubt about it.
Looks like he's been workin out with Donovan McNabb as well!
Thanks to BuffScoop for the image
Cool pic.
McNabb is a pretty big QB and Shane makes him look small.
Is that a good thing?
2002: last time CU finished the season ranked
2005: last winning season
2007: last bowl game
I think we'd be pretty happy if Shane's college and pro career turned out the way McNabb's did.

I didnt know this. I like McNabb more now.
Though McNabb was approached by recruiters from numerous colleges, only two schools—Syracuse University and the University of Nebraska—offered him scholarships to play as quarterback.[4]He initially leaned toward attending Nebraska, as he relished the idea of being coached by Tom Osborne. Eventually, however, he decided to attend Syracuse, principally because he wanted to prove he was a competent "pocket passer", but also for academic reasons.
It also helped that Syracuse let him play basketball in the offseason for a national title contender.

I would say that Shane makes him look short, not small. Donovan has him beat around the midriff.
The Camera mentioned that Shane is going to begin throwing again in a few weeks.
