sarge87 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Wow I guess I thought there was a chance he would go there, but what happened to the signing day talk?! Man, I really liked saying we would get the Big 3 and now saying Big 2 just doesn't sound as cool. Alright lets get down to business though, QB candidates that are left? Or do we even take a QB? Let the speculation begin! We don't really need to take a QB this year. I would rather have another lineman if they could find one. Never can have too many of those. Link to comment
Danimal Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Discouraging if true, hopefully it's BS or he comes around after the ass-kissing and guarantees he got from WKU wear-off a bit. Link to comment
little_red Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Discouraging if true, hopefully it's BS or he comes around after the ass-kissing and guarantees he got from WKU wear-off a bit. From what I've heard, it's not false. Carnes apparently called Watson and told him. Link to comment
Nexus Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Scout is following the story as well. LINK Link to comment
T-Husker Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Ahh geez crazy biz! So the article is from his hometown newspaper for tomorrow or what? I'm confused who wrote the article. Rivals has nothing on WKU's board for a teaser. This would be breaking news but they don't even have enough football news to fill up their football recruiting page and have basketball news in there.

blackshirts5115 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 there's nothing our staff could do about this. if a kid is stupid enough to go to the worst team in FBS we can't help that at all. he just wants immediate playtime and is obviously scared of Cody Green and Jamal Turner 1 Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Brion Carnes has committed to Western Kentucky :/ My link Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Bah! It sucks, it hurts. But oh well, what can you do? Atleast we can look forward to Jamal Turner in 2011. Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Onward to Jamal Turner. But i kinda felt that immediate playing time was his passion. I guess we will see him in the fall, if he signs his LOI by Wednesday. Get ready Carnes, Blackshirts are going to show you what's its like not to be a Husker QB. Link to comment
ESPY Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 As easy as it is to be upset with this kid (if in fact he does go WKU), he's no where near the level of the Gabbert bros. Carnes never backed out of a commitment with us, so we have to at least respect him for that. 1 Link to comment
Nexus Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 As easy as it is to be upset with this kid (if in fact he does go WKU), he's no where near the level of the Gabbert bros. Carnes never backed out of a commitment with us, so we have to at least respect him for that. I have absolutely no hard feelings towards Carnes in this situation. I honestly wish him luck over there. My gut feeling all along was that he wanted to play at USF until they yanked his scholly, then it looked like WKU made more sense due to the reasons I already listed last night when I suggested to everyone not to be surprised if he ended up there. Take into consideration that it's closer to home. He'll likely get early playing time and possibly win the starting job when we see them in Sept. in Lincoln. Furthermore, he has a prior relationship with the coaching staff. All those benefits are attractive to some people, regardless if the team itself is BCS caliber or not. Let's also consider some possible reasons why he would turn down NU. Perhaps he didn't like the idea of playing under the legend of Tommie Frazier's shadow. The pressure to live up to Frazier's standards might've intimidated him? Then there is the fact that Carnes has been a starting QB since he was a Freshman in HS. Let's face it, the kid has never had to sit on the bench in all his HS years. Perhaps he likes the idea of walking into a small D-1 program with an actual shot at starting in his freshman year? He probably knew that wouldn't be the case at NU since we have more depth and are obviously more competitive at that position? I could speculate some more but I won't. Bottom line is this, the kid made his decision and I'm okay with it. So long as he's happy, then I say KUDOS to you young man. Do what's in your heart and go get it. We're Nebraska. We'll be fine without him. Link to comment

caveman99 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 I am off of this board for half a day and 1/3 of the big group goes to WKU????????? Wow, didn't see this one coming. Link to comment
caveman99 Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Wow, just didn't see this one coming at all. Fajardo also canceled his visit this weekend because of Carnes. Hhhhmmm maybe no QB in 2010? Link to comment
