SIGNED QB Brion Carnes

[sarge87]

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.

He played QB at Manatee but we brought him in as a LB.

[Touchdown Tommie]

Very pleasantly surprised with this one! I thought it was a done deal for WKU. Welcome aboard!!!

[caveman99]

I heard that Brion's grades or test scores were an issue. Anyone know how big of a risk he is?

[Redmusky]

Alright, between making sigs and hitting up my Florida friends for info about carnes, it has been confirmed that I have no life outside of Huskerboard.

 

However, I did hear something interesting about Carnes.

 

He heard one pitch the entire time at WKU and that was Playing time. Early and often they said. He also saw their piece of crap program and realized the NU was the better option.

 

What I have concluded from talking with people is that he let something slip to his coach about committing to WKU and then called NU immediately to say that if he was going to commit to NU, he needed a promise of seeing game action his first year on campus. I'd say that since he still says he is undecided, he got someone's word on that.

 

Right now i'd put odds 70% to 30% that he signs with NU on Wednesday. That is, of course, if he can shut his coach up long enough to keep the whole thing under wraps. Sounds promising for us though.
