Even as Wayne Williams says Syracuse is running New York, new developments show the Orange may have been a longshot for the best QB in the Empire State.
Just a few days after introducing Chris Laviano as¬†a mystery man in Syracuse‚Äôs widespread quarterback hunt,¬†recent signs point the Long Island signal caller to archrival Rutgers. It seems the Orange didn’t stand much of a chance for the Hicksville native who turned heads at the Elite 11 camp.
First, Tim Boyle, a Syracuse recruit and the top rated QB prospect in Connecticut, announced his commitment to Boston College Wednesday. BC had an offer to Laviano as well, but Boyle’s decision¬†likely closes that door. Rivals.com’s Rutgers writer Matt Hladik tells The Fizz Laviano will probably take the only remaining offer on the table – the one from the Scarlet Knights.
“I think he’s the kind of guy that they could see really thriving in that offense down the line. Rutgers was also very early on Laviano, having offered him in the beginning part of the 2013 cycle. “
Syracuse was too late to the party considering RU was the first school that offered Laviano, and the first he chose to visit. Hladik says it’s very possible the Syracuse scouts didn’t like Laviano’s style of play.
“Doug Marrone definitely knows who Chris Laviano is, but with the commitments of Austin Wilson and Zach Allen, Laviano might have taken a fall on Syracuse’s board. All of these schools have a board for quarterbacks, and it’s a ton of schools going after a small pool of kids. Sometime you see top-rated kids go without offers because their offer is contingent upon how the other dominos fall.”
It seems strange there would be such competition for a few select quarterbacks, yet a prospect like Laviano would have only two offers. He caught national attention at the Elite 11 workouts, but there wasn’t much interest from many schools including SU. Why? Probably because many assume he has long been leaning toward Piscataway.
Orange Nation can rest easy knowing SU didn’t completely ignore the best QB in NYS, and one in their recruiting hotbed of the New York City region. But would the Orange have had a shot even if it entered the fray? Hladik thinks CL would have heavily favored the Scarlet Knights anyway.
“To me it seems like Rutgers would be the logical choice [for Laviano]. BC has two quarterback commitments, and Rutgers doesn’t have anyone else for this class. RU will readily take him as someone who they’ve identified early on as someone they want in the class.”
There is still plenty of time for other schools to jump on Laviano. The summer is young, he’ll play his senior season starting in September, and many scouts believe he is a sleeper. But at the moment, cross out two of the horses on Syracuse‚Äôs QB Carousel: Chris Laviano and Tim Boyle.

yeah he probrably is a sleeper but i’d back off on this one. we have 2 good qb commits already and feel if we go qb, we better make sure he’s real special. we need other positions of need right now. i’d like to see rb and defensive end. edwards and ogundeko would be a great fit here at syracuse..
unbelieveable,Fizz and my comment did’nt take long to hit ScarletNation comment’s board….I followed the link and ended up back here..I thought I was snooping on them and the joke was on me..
“Orange Nation can rest easy knowing SU didn‚Äôt completely ignore the best QB in NYS, and one in their recruiting hotbed of the New York City region.”
I’m pretty sure none of us ever worried that we missed out on him. I’ll let his offers dictate his talent, not his star rating. I also feel like this is the 4th or 5th article you’ve written about him, in which you said we never offered him and he was probably going to Rutgers. So if absolutely nothing changed from article 1 to now, why do you keep writing them? Slow month?
Keep an eye on N.C.ST in regards to CL..lost out on key target and O’Brien knows the area from BC yrs…some of these kids read too many of their own clippings..regarding Boyle..BCs coach’s seat is hotter than our own’s..
Seems strange to pass on a 4 start QB out of Hicksville if a major objective of your program is to lock down NY state… can’t figure out what the coaches know that we don’t on this one.
Supposedly CL is going to Florida and Alabama invite only QB camp? Think I read this today somewhere. Florida is scrambling for a 2013 QB right now so he may end up there. I am fine with SU’s commits over this kid. No offense to him at all but I trust SU’s coaches evaluations and if they didn’t offer him then there has to be a reason. Move on.
Good job by fizz
Cant miss chance to start drama/gossip
Tebow! Are you trolling again? Don’t you have OTAs or something?
I appreciate all the updates on rutgers recruiting its good work
@Chad – This is only the 2nd article about Laviano here at the Fizz. Although they were both about a week apart, so maybe it seems like more. I agree – his offers will dictate the type of interest in him, not just star ratings. But I tend to side with Derek on this – SU is recruiting QBs in Texas and FL and OH, yet a LI kid who is turning heads at the Elite 11 camp is ignored by SU. SU must have a reason, but I find it interesting. I like to know about the kids SU is winning AND losing. I think that’s an important part of the story. As always appreciate the read. And Tebow – thanks for making time for us in between studying the Jets playbook.
dilfer said that allen was a stud at the elite 11 in dallas……..or doesn’t that count
just an fyi too da
Alabama already has two QB commits and flordia offered boyle too and he visted and still went with BC over flordia.
Funny this QB caruosel…RU offers CL but not Boyle…SU offers Boyle but not CL?whats up with all these differing observation’s?there was something some did’nt see in each of them…to each there own!!
