Sounds more of a RW3 QB than RG3. Good, don't want a vegetable brain after all those unnecessary hits.

Rival teaser apparently had him listing a top 5, did we make it?

There is a little be of that discussion going on here. With the caveat that it's still somewhat early, I have to say I am somewhat surprised at our offer list. And this is nothing against Wilson but I'm surprised that this is the route the staff went. The way recruiting has become, even this class he is playing a little catchup.

Dang, idiots. Could Charlie Strong and Texas be the curve for cleaning house?

You're comparing Devaney and McBride to Bo? And I'm clueless? How do you know he turned a blind eye? You're putting RB on a pedestal that is unjust. What does Christian values have to do with Pelini deplorable behavior and his decision to coach under him? Also, Why is it bad for him to coach under Bo at a program that would allow him to speak his mind, but it's not even worth mentioning that a university, that you follow, shut him up because he is an outspoken Christian? The same one that allows professors to preach their agnostic, atheist, etc. views on students?Do you recall Coach Brown publicly disagreeing with the way Bo conducted himself? Me neither.There's nothing wrong with asking why a preacher's actions are completely inconsistent with what he claims to believe. Pelini is a psychotic douchebag who tried to burn the place down on his way out of town. Rather than objecting to that and distancing himself from Pelini, Brown talked about what a great and loyal guy he is and followed him to his next gig. In my view that makes Coach Brown a complete hypocrite. I like the guy...but it is what it is. Haha burning the place down is a pretty out there suggestion. What action did RB make that he's not following?I guess I don't agree and even understand why RB should make any comment publicly in regards to Bo, but he did, and he addressed your exact thought in his interview with Sipple when it was announced he'd be following Bo. For someone who was in the middle of the fallout and being fired himself, and not wanted at the university he coached at for nearly 24 years, I'm going to guess there is much more to behind the scenes than any of us are privvy too. And by your logic, everybody is a hypocrite for the company they keep. Do you consider Bo's actions to be consistent with the values that Coach Brown preaches about and claims to espouse?I'll ask you again in another form, what Bo actions go against Brown's preaching?Really seems like you're playing coy with the comparison of Bo to Devaney and McBride and completely ignoring the context of Sargon's post, or are you actually clueless to their demeanors? Devaney and McBride had some anger issues and cursed a decent amount. I have no issue with that behavior, so long as it doesn't distract them from coaching. The issues with Bo were far more serious. He was a complete cancer, who was actively trying to turn the team against the university, the fans, the state, etc. that's the problem with him, not merely some cursing. I disagree. He was a bad head coach, but he never turned the team against the university, state, and especially the fans. That's ridiculous. The only person that he tried stirring crap up against was SE, which was completely out of line, but even then those players lashing out were already upset at SE before Bo met with them. I think we've already established that Bo isn't Adolph Hitler (Hitler actually blitzed too often) and maybe cancer is a strong word, but it's not hard to trace Bo's thin-skin for any kind of criticism to a bunker mentality he established with his players: the only people that mattered were the people in the locker room. The outside world didn't understand. Not the fans, not the local media, not anyone who dared second-guess the team. It protected Bo with his players and gave them an excuse for their own poor performance in what was perhaps a poor strategic game-plan. I mean, Bo literally blamed fan expectation for the Wisconsin blowout last year. His rants were pretty clear on this subject. The Eichorst hate came late in the bridge burning process, and it would be really naive to think that Bo's parting shot to the players was the first time he trashed Eichorst in front of them. Yes, it could be considered naive to think that was the first time he spoke of Eichorst that way, but if I'm going to question someone's character or actions, it's going to be on facts, not assumptions. And even the points you make, I agree with, I primarily took exception to bagging on Ron Brown because through all of that crap that Bo did wrong, I don't agree that Brown is being a hypocrite for following Bo.

In a perfect world, we'd have a scholarship QB in every class. Haha whereas Bo honors a scholarship to a potential medical hardship, brings in a stretch offer, and then throws one to a walk-on who had never seen the field...all within the same year. Two of our highest touted QB recruits in the past 10-15 years chose to play baseball over coming to NU. After that it's been a scramble to plug someone into the most important position of any sport.

He may have size, but in the latest HOL podcast, they stated that he got torched alot during the spring.Ah, I didn't know that. Any depth to that analysis? Getting burnt but showed flashes of potential/progress? Or just a flat out miss?

Why did Bo's staff even have 5 scholarship QBs in the first place, it's not like a backup ever competed for the job, let alone 3rd/4th/5th string...what a waste. Boaz is the easy one to point fingers at to leave, and I buy the reasoning too, but Id still like to see what he can develop into. His size for a corner is so enticing. Hoping it's not him. How certain are we that all recruits coming in make it? Seems every year we lose 1-2.

Gonna be making the trip with dad and bro. Flying into and staying in ft lauderdale, about 15-20 from stadium. To rent a car or uber/lift is the last detail to iron out.

Unless we get Mitchell to commit before next recruiting cycle then I think we should.Wilson is also athletic enough to succeed at a different position if QB doesn't work, could be compared to the AJ Bush situation. Thought I read Langsdorf say they'd like to just take one QB per year and stack the depth that way.

What's the offseason story that makes you roll your eyes the most? Or one you look forward to? My annoyed one is the annual "team chemistry" writeup about how the team bonds over bbq, bon bons, and bowling and is so much closer than previous years yada yada. I've experienced real comraderie centered teams and a team that would turn on each other quick. Coincidence or not, the team that would almost get in fights with each other was one of the best teams I ever played on. I always got the sense from those stories that it made the team sound soft. Too nice to say the things that are needed to be vocalized when it comes to pushing each other in practice/conditioning/games. I think a team needs a few "bad guys" or "hot heads" that buck the trend and sparks team competition.

The OWH breaking the news of the fisher injury before bo could talk to the parents had a lot to do wih initiating the contention. Also, chatelain's "or else" statement with barfy backing him up before feeling the pressure of the public and backing off. The university vastly cutting media/speaking engagements for the coaches, just a few examples. I think bo had reason to be upset, but he obviously doesn't know how to handle it, and caused a lot of drama himself. Barfy might have good points himself, but the OWH has just as much a hard time admitting their mistakes as the guy they're pointing fingers at.

Love the cap! This kid is making it real easy to like!

That place is called australia.

Yes, but without the injury issues.And probably not a cancerous locker room personality.

I don't think so as it seems he was already figuring out how to get here. I'm guessing it was a school not on his hitting up soon listIm hearing it was University of Louisana coach Red Beaulieu that's been rubbing him raw
