No Visit for East Texas Star?

[BigRedMan]

Who is this talking about on rivals?

[SECHusker]

I would guess they were talking about Godfrey, because Gilmer is in East TX.

i was thinking that too, but just wanted to make sure

So, if this is true, does that mean that we are in the door with Carnes?

[kchusker_chris]

I wouldn't jump to conclusions on this. He just got back from New Mexico. I highly doubt they impressed him enough that he'd cancel his visits to VA and NU. The Lobo boards aren't saying anything new. I'm not even sure he holds and offer from them yet.

Also, New Mexico has been after Tarean Austin for some time. In an odd twist, there are rumors he is seriously considering Western Kentucky (will be visiting this coming weekend). Hypothetically, this guy could determine which quarterback (if any) ends up at NU. He chooses WKU first, Carnes takes NU, Godfrey to UNM. He choose UNM, Carnes might end up WKU, we get Godfrey.

 

Of course, there might not be a shooter on the grassy knoll either. WKU is also said to be pressing really hard on a JUCO QB (Faulkner)...who visited this weekend (15th). If WKU is putting the full court on these 2, I am of the impression that Carnes probably isn't as interested as we might think, or WKU doesn't think they really have a chance w/ him.

I think USF is after Terean Austin as a backup plan for Carnes.

 

 

Taken from USF board regarding Carnes.

 

"Tarean Austin and CJ Bennett are still available" These two are plan B and C if Carnes goes somewhere else.

Tarean Austin will be visiting WKU this coming weekend, the 22nd. Faulkner visited the 15th. Carnes is planning on visiting the 29th. I'm guessing one of these 2 QB's commit before Carnes even gets to WKU. It might be wishfull thinking however.

Had not heard that. Good to know. This guy could have even more of an affect on the NU QB situation. He had the visit to Florida International on the 15th, but no visit to USF yet, though he did attend their camps so he might not need one. Back in October he was talking about USF being his #1 choice - considering Carnes was committed at the time that is fairly bold.

Sooooo, going back to the original post, can anyone confirm that Rivals is referring to Godfrey?

[rickjames]

to even think that western kentucky is in the race to sign carnes just makes me wanna laugh...if you're brion carnes and you have a choice of choosing nu or western kentucky...SERIUOUSLY western kentucky????... you're an elite prospect and you want to play at the highlest level, you choose nu...

They are referring to Godfrey. It's a link to the premium board over there talking about how Godfrey denies having any visit set up with Nebraska. One writer speculates it could be because his "visit" is pending the outcome of Carnes' visit, so there may not be anything officially set up.

WKU? Seriously?

WKU? Seriously?

 

What people need to realize about WKU is that the HC, Willie Taggart is a former QB at Manatee HS. He succeeded Tommie Frazier at QB at Manatee HS when Frazier left for NU. Therefore he has a relationship with Manatee's football program. Manatee's HC is still the same coach that coached Frazier & Taggart back in the day. Therefore, Taggart recruits from his alma mater, which is why he has a relationship with Carnes.

 

So it's not necessarily about the school's prestige, but more about the relationship with the coaches. See Corey Cooper's recruiting process as of late for example.
