REDSTEEL Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 If he commits to WKU, all signs point to NU not recruiting him anymore, solely because he won't qualify academically. So instead of having him commit and never get here, we might be able to snag a late O Lineman. As of now, there is no indication that he would pick WKU, other than that reason. Carnes academic situation is not an issue for the coaches, at all. Reason being we had Fajardo lined up and ready to commit the second an offer was made. And yes, Watson would have given his left testicle to get Fajardo as he was in love with the kid. But we called off that visit due to conversations we had with Carnes. If Carnes goes elsewhere, it is solely because he wanted to go there. But I'm pretty sure he will be pushed rather hard the next few days, so we'll see what happens. But if we lose Carnes, it's simply because he wanted to go there and the WKU coaches knew exactly how to work him. Nothing else. Well if that's true we now know where the split was and I wouldn't blame Carnes for not choosing to come to Nebraska when the Head Offensive cordinator is voteing for another recruit. Though the rumor was Godfrey not Fajardo so that would make Carnes, Watsons third choice if any of this is true. Link to comment

GlobalHusker Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 At least the Drama is back ON. 3 names on the wire with possibly more affected based on who signs on!! What wire what names? Carnes, Cooper, Owa...signing day coming up. All of them are on the wire, and we don't know which way they'll fall. Link to comment

Though the rumor was Godfrey not Fajardo so that would make Carnes, Watsons third choice if any of this is true. Where in my post did I say Watson preferred Fajardo to Carnes? If Watson wanted Fajardo more than Carnes, we would be sitting here with a QB commit right now and not in the least worried about Carnes. However, my point was, if we were concerned about Carnes' grades, we would have easily taken another QB like Fajardo who our coaches loved. And FYI, Stump was way down on the list of QB recruits. I would say, as confusing as it is to me, he was below Marsh on our QB wishlist. Link to comment

BigRedMan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Is Rivals now reporting that he did in fact commit? Link to comment
irafreak Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 This thread is making my head hurt. He did...he didn't....now some guy with 30 posts says he has but provides no link or source. Eh...recruiting... Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Is Rivals now reporting that he did in fact commit? That is what the teaser would indicate, and what my friends who have subscriptions are telling me. I have a feeling he committed and wanted it to be silent until he announces on Wed. But My guess is that someone from WKU let it leak out, Carnes was trying to cover, and then just threw the towel in and said what the heck and made it public. Link to comment

I hope this is the case if he is going there.... this gives us a chance to grab someone else Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yeah okay... it gives us 2 days... Fajardo just committed to Nevada. NU has been horrible at building a relationship with Godfrey and Coulter is committed to his school as well. Who is left that we have a relationship with and can give Carnes' scholie to? I can think of 2 players OT Denton Simek and the DB/WR/RB out of California that we gave a verbal offer to last week. Link to comment
