:yeah :WTHUm..they didn't know what sort of system Spano was in when they were recruiting him? <_<
How is that possible? The offensive cooridinator didn't watch any film on a future QB?
That is one of the scariest quotes I have ever read!
Remember that Spano was a recruit from another school that decommitted and basically fell into the lap of the NU coaches --- of course, it was not that NU was not recruiting him, they were --- but, I'd guess that they recruited him based upon overall talent. That in High School he never took direct snaps is no big deal. It is easy to learn and he has plenty of time to learn it. They likely took him because he has a great arm, reportedly has fine accuracy and is athletic. With all that, teaching him direct snaps is easy.
