I remember when the two QBs in question decided on which school they would attend. Bother were much recruited and most SJS fans figured John would go to State and interest would lag with Clarkson. As it turned out, I think John thought it might be better to not play for his dad and Steve came to SJS. A lot of people were upset but Steve turned out more than OK. I'm with many of you that I wish he would send a QB or two State's way.
