That's not positive. Did he sound upbeat or downbeat about the capabilities of each QB?

Any other nuggets?

Shaw is bullish on both Burns and Chryst.  He did not compare them or break down the performance, strengths, etc of each.  But you could hear the enthusiasm in his voice for both.  I think "phenomenal" was reserved for Christian McCaffrey who is even bigger and stronger than he was last year. 

Jerod Haase (which rhymes with pass or mass) is approachable, enthusiastic, likeable and already has spent a lot of time on the recruiting trail.  He expects all seniors to return (depending on Rosco Allen's decision).  I inferred that Christian Sanders will be back, at least as of now.

Haase also told this story.  The players were going through a workout last week and Haase wanted it to end with a FT drill.  He told the team if you miss 1, the entire team will run to mid court and back.  If you miss 2, the team will run full court and back.  At which point, Michael Humphrey interrupted and said "We get it, Coach.  If we miss 3, we will run full court and then half court again."  Coach Haase - "How did you know I was not going to make it exponential?"  Humphrey - "I looked in your eye and figured that it was linear."  Coach Haase to the attendees at the reception - "This was a conversation I never had with my players at UAB."
