Congrats to Shane.
EXACTLY! His height and arm are gonna be huge. Was a big deciding factor. Jeff's first QB in his select league had a great arm and was tall (back when they were 7 and 8) and it made a difference then. CU has a real gem in Shane........you guys just don't know, yet. LOL
Nice to see the props rolling in for our future buffs. Even better to see these guys outperforming expectations - lets hope it becomes a habit!
Cody was an elite 11 and based on his HS success a pretty legit one. The problem for Cody was he really didn't improve much in college. He was already smallish at the time of the elite 11 and never grew after. There was also some speculation that Cody got selected for elite 11 status partly because of his last name. At the time DH was still a hot name in coaching.
What is exciting about Dillon getting named to elite 11 status is that he already has legit height and has the frame to build up to a solid QB size. At the same time he made big steps forward skillwise as a jr. and if he continues to develop his QB skills could be a difference maker. Rip Scherer has a lot of experience coaching QBs at the NFL level and it will be interesting to see what he can do with Dillon's talents.
What I really liked seeing was him winning that jersey for the best film work, that really adds to the total package.

Congrats to Shane!
I think this should finally silence the questions on whether he's truly a "blue chip" quarterback. He's one of the 11 best high school senior quarterbacks in the nation right now and from all reports, he's got some of the most upside among all of them. Some guys are more polished right now, but it could be that we're getting Sam Bradford (a Rivals 3*-5.7 out of high school) while what programs are getting with the higher rated guys is more Jimmy Clausen.
The best things about making the finals is that Shane will get some more great coaching and experience from this thing and also that it's a great message for the recruiting trail -- "We have one of the Elite 11 quarterbacks committed to your class".
Way to go Shane! Go Buffs!
So, will others make a push to turn him?
It's a given, imo. We need to find an endless supply of bug repellent and keep Shane engulfed in a shroud of fumes.
We should have listened to Colorado fans.
Cody was never a legit elite 11 qb by any stretch of the imagination. Didn't you learn anything the last 4 years. If you think he was legit, I have a bridge for you in Brooklyn.
Politics my friend, politics.
Time showed you were right but coming out of high school Cody was included in that group. A big part of it was his dad and his connections but as a HS QB he was dominant winning something like 56 straight games and putting up ridiculous stats in the process. Some of that was due to him being an a team that had a lot of talent and also playing in a state that didn't have real strong competition but in HS he got the job done. Coming out of HS you could make a legitimate argument that he was one of the better HS QBs in the country. Had he been 6'1" instead of 5'10" (maybe) coming out of school he would have been recruited by virtually everybody.
Cody had three major problems at CU. One was that he never grew, he was Rudy, they guy who wanted to play but just never developed physically to a D1 college level. Second was that he, like so many other players, never developed as a player under his dad. He was credited with working hard in the film room and being a student of the game but he was making the same bad reads and the same mistakes as a senior as he made when was a redshirt frosh. He also never lost his tendancy to panic under pressure or when things broke down around him, something you expect a guy with four years of playing time to learn to deal with. The third problem was the team his dad put around him made success an almost impossibility. The failure to get plays called on time, the tipping off of the defense as to what would be run, the inconsistency of the players around him because of the attrition and the stupid player groupings.
Lots of guys are pretty highly rated coming out of high school and never become great college players at a lot of positions including Cody, he was one of those.
What happened to Kiel? Does Indiana rethink their offer after this sub-par showing?
