Tough set of circumstances.
If it were me, I would tell them privately that Angeli is #1 (or Minchey if he beats him out this Spring), and that Leonard will have a limited chance this Fall to show himself to be a definitively better option against Texas A&M. Leonard's big advantage was to be his mobility which now will have to be proven to actually still be an advantage after his second ankle surgery.
Nothing is written in stone for the rest of the season after the first game where there will be more time for QB eval and soul searching.
Freeman needs to protect the locker room moral and QB depth. .
