CMT1525 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 this definately had to do with him wanting to play qb in college and us cooling on him. I really believe if Nebraska truly wanted him we would have gotten him. not a huge loss we will get our qbs Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 do you think he is the first person in history to chose arkansas state over arkansas?? He might be the first person to choose Arky St over Nebraska and Mizzou. Not as big of an upset as some might think considering Guz Malzan is there. Cam newton to pad his resume!

da skers Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I heard we cooled on him big time...most likely due to Stanton he had an offer to join us. Just not at QB. Quote Link to comment
fro daddy Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I am sure alot of it had to do wih actually playing. Malzahn adds something that some of the others didnt. But frankly if the kid felt like he was the first option at Mizzou or NE this would have ended differently. But as it is, he most likely would have been a career bench guy at Mizzou. We offer and ussually take guys like him every few years to add to depth. You guys said that he was not the first option for NE. And that you might have even cooled on accepting a verbal. If thats the case with you guys, and knowing who we already have on roster and have for this class, then I have no doubt that its about playing for Malzahn, or just being a guy somewhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I wuldve liked tot ake him as an ATH, like an Alonzo Moore type of player. But he was dead set on playing QB in college, and we ahve one virtually locked up. Quote Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 The Reason he didn't go to NU or Mizzou is because neither pushed for him. Both extended offers as.... well you can be our Depth at QB or you can come in as an athlete. He wanted playing time/starting time/star time at QB and we couldn't even offer him a shot at it because we had far greater options on the board. So he went with Arkansas State because it was his fallback plan. He had conditional offers from NU and MIZZOU... he had a we really really really want you offer from Arkansas State.

I agree. I understand choosing Arkansas State over us and Mizzou for the reasons given but it still doesn't explain choosing them over some of his other better offers that likely coveted him just as much.

I don't know.. Arky st is coming off a really good year and with Gus coming in and his success with scam newton. He could be a 4 year starter. Or go to an Iowa St or Minny and sit a couple years and then have to compete for a spot on the depth chart. Maybe Gus told him he could play right now! I don't mind coaches making these kinda promises at a school like Arky st. Hard enough to get stars to come visiting less commit in SEC territory no less. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Supposedly he decommitted from Arkansas State. Any interest in him at anything other than QB? Quote Link to comment
nebraskafaninwi Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Supposedly he decommitted from Arkansas State. Any interest in him at anything other than QB? No! They are working on a recruit for the next class. Quote Link to comment
