He got so much attention AFTER Charlie Weis got ahold of him and completely turned his career around. Quinn is a Willingham recruit, not a Weis recruit. W/O Weis he would never have attained such status, the only reason he is slated as a first round pick is b/c he has spent 2 yrs under Charlie Weis. Some scouts give an awful lot of creedence to who coached the qb, and sometimes overlook the qb's lack of skills, mental or physical.

Next yr Weis will have a qb that he recruited, and I expect the ND era of college football will begin again. ND loses almost all it's starters though, so, it may take a cpl of yrs.
