LA Daily News has a long feature on Rosen, including a passage on his Stanford recruitment and the concerns about his attitude:
There’s little question that Rosen is self-assured.
Multiple accounts say it was that demeanor that cost him a scholarship offer to Stanford, his dream school, when he visited Palo Alto for a camp before his junior season two years ago. He was perceived to be overbearing.
“I'm too confident for my own good at times,” Rosen said in Bruce Feldman’s 2014 book “The QB: The Making of Modern Quarterbacks.” “Sometimes I do come off as arrogant in interviews or whatever, but I feel like that's also part of what makes my play what it is.”
The Stanford camp set off red flags in recruiting circles at the time.
“I’m like, ‘Is this kid coachable?’” said Greg Biggins, an Orange County-based national recruiting analyst for Scout.com. “Is he going to be a guy people want to rally around? Or is he going to be a guy they want to duct tape to the goal post the third day of practice?”
