Lil' Red Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Does he have to sit out a year? Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 He does not have to sit out a year. I hope NU goes after him he's a stud. He's like what we think Carnes could be, but proven. Pelini has gone after transfers before, it wouldn't surprise me if he's going after a proven veteran like Russell Wilson. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Aha, GMoose is right. I don't think he's a potential headcase like Keller was, but it's hard to tell of course. I would be excited if we could land him. http://atlanta.sbnation.com/georgia-tech-yellow-jackets/2011/5/2/2149563/russell-wilson-transfer-nc-state-south-carolina-auburn-football Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 If Nebraska did go after Wilson then that would mean Bo and Company don't have ANY confidence with our Quarterbacks to win games in the Big 10 Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I wouldn't really blame them. Quote Link to comment
GMoose Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I wouldn't really blame them. Me neither. It'll be the Robert Marve deal all over again. Except unlike Robert Marve, Russell Wilson is good. Quote Link to comment
Hujan Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 See: Sam Keller Experiment. Totally different. Keller was given the keys to the offense because his daddy and Callafail were pals. Keller was a prima donna head case with a crappy throwing motion and an inability to do much besides check down to Marlon Lucky. An overrated QB with a personality to match. Now, if Wilson is a true baller that fits the offense (I can't say whether this is true), I see little reason not to bring him in. Keep in mind that Cam Newton was a JUCO transfer who won the Heisman and the MNC in his first year with the team. If Wilson came here and was a good fit, you'd have him, Carnes, and Martinez on the depth chart in whatever order. Cody Green could officially redshirt and change positions as there would no longer be any use for him at QB. Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The film looks okay, but I'm not overly impressed by it. He lofts passes and doesn't have the best mechanics (seems to be a trend among quarterbacks here, right now anyways). Given this short highlight reel it seems he likes to break down and run a lot. But, again, that's not really uncommon for a quarterback here to do. If we get him, cool. If not, I don't think we need him. I seriously doubt he'd come in and compete to the point to take the starting job away from Martinez. Quote Link to comment

Well I have confidence in our QB's lots of confidence....well besides Cody Green. I'm sure you're in the majority there. I'm just a firm believer that our offense won't be successful without a QB that can throw the ball adequately - something neither Green or Martinez can do. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Eh I doubt our staff goes after him, but if they do then I'd take him. If were bringing in a kid for one year though I'd go with the DB from Florida. Quote Link to comment

If were bringing in a kid for one year though I'd go with the DB from Florida. That's a COMPLETELY different story. Janoris Jenkins got kicked off UF after his 3rd marijuana arrest. Even if Nebraska accepted him (which we wouldn't) he would have to sit out a year. Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 If he'd been here for the Spring he'd be on almost equal footing with the other qb's. As-is it would be tough to get the scheme down in just the summer. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Forgot to mention, sounds like he was quite wronged in NC State. Three year starter, losing his starting job for playing baseball in the spring. I understand it's tough to be a dual-sport athlete, but c'mon coach. Dude's a senior, he's put up 93 touchdowns for your team in the last three years, you don't just kick him to the curb like that. Unless someone beat him out of the job. You don't play your second best guy because he's a senior. Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Is he a runner? I doubt we'll have much use for him if not. Also, maybe he hasen't heard this but compared to Martinez and Green, Carnes showed in the spring game he's the second coming of Joe Montana. He'll just ride the pine. Fixed that for you. You're going to feel really foolish if he's not even good enough to win the starting spot. Hope you're prepared for the massive amounts of crap I'll give you. Quote Link to comment
