Wait a minute, I thought this kid was scared of competition?? LOL. Some of you crack me up sometimes.

 

Definitely. I mean all of the evidence points to this kid lacking heart.

 

By 'evidence', I mean useless extrapolation based on speculation about what an 18 year old kid is thinking about in the week leading up to LOI day.

If he is N you can thank his High School coach for that one!!!!!

 

It's definitely good to have a guy like that in our corner, bet this isn't the last recruit he sends our way. Great to get Carnes in red, don't think anyone is feeling bad about Gabbert anymore. Congrats to the staff on closing-strong

Here's Andy Staples' take on Carnes:

 

The last time Nebraska signed a quarterback from Manatee High in Bradenton, Fla., the quarterback's name was Tommie Frazier. Frazier wound up leading the Cornhuskers to a pair of national titles. In 1995, he was the best player on what might be the most dominant team in the history of college football.

 

Now, Nebraska coaches are hoping another Manatee graduate can produce similar results. Wednesday, Manatee quarterback Brion Carnes signed with the Huskers.

 

Carnes originally planned to go to South Florida, but he began examining his options after the firing of Jim Leavitt on Jan. 8. New USF coach Skip Holtz wanted to sign Carnes, but he also wanted Carnes to stop visiting other schools. When Carnes couldn't make that promise, Holtz told him the Bulls -- who have only starter B.J. Daniels on scholarship and must sign a quarterback in this class -- would have to consider other quarterback recruits.

 

That enraged Manatee coach Joe Kinnan, who said he didn't want USF recruiting his players anymore. Holtz and company are still trying to smooth out the relationship.

 

Carnes, meanwhile, visited Nebraska and Western Kentucky. He seemed to be leaning toward signing with the Hilltoppers, whose new coach, Willie Taggart, is a Manatee grad. Instead, Carnes decided to attempt to follow in Frazier's footsteps.

 

With Carnes still undecided, USF took a commitment last week from LaGrange, Ga., quarterback Jamius Gunsby. Gunsby already has faxed his letter-of-intent to the Bulls.
