Husker_Power Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Maybe he didn't commit, conflicting reports. Quote Link to comment
corncraze Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Sean Callahan confirmed it's false through a text with Joel himself. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 There are some conditions that need to be met in order for this to be commitable. He more than likely ends up playing baseball when it is all said and done. Quote Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 And apparently its an offer as a qb, which is interesting Quote Link to comment
Danimal Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 There are some conditions that need to be met in order for this to be commitable. He more than likely ends up playing baseball when it is all said and done. Would you be able to elaborate on said conditions? I was a little surprised by the offer Saturday, figured we'd slow-play him a while and see how things play-out. Also figuree he'd jump if offered. Does it have anything to do with grades? His stated GPA is an unimpressive 2.5. Quote Link to comment

His stated GPA is an unimpressive 2.5. I was surprised as well, he got an offer for qb on the spot, and stanton had to wait a few days Quote Link to comment

Final thing that really comes into play with this situation is the baseball Quote Link to comment

NoLongerN Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 QB? He's offered on the spot and Stanton isn't? Why not slow-play him. We've done that with every QB recruit to some degree. With his GPA at my equivalent I'm guessing the staff really has a "diamond in the rough" or we are really in this bad of shape in this recruiting cycle at QB. I would think that you would want a brighter mind to pick up this difficult learning curve. His intangibles must be off the charts. Quote Link to comment
irieboy8 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 i also believe that the guy wanted to committ.. .tried to and the staff kinda gave him him the yellow light... Quote Link to comment

I would think that you would want a brighter mind to pick up this difficult learning curve. His intangibles must be off the charts. I thinking the fact that he just recently got an offer means the staff has been slow playing him. The staff seems to be still slow playing him with this conditional offer. The staff seems to want 2 QBs in this class with one being an ATH hybrid who can move positions if need be. Don't think this says anything about Stanton or Kincade necessarily. Quote Link to comment

Im thinking this is it as well. And yes as surprising as it sounds according to someone that has spoken to him directly, it is an offfer at QB. As said above i really think we are looking at 2 QBs this cycle, with one that can move positions if necessary.....ie this guy. His film at QB is actually pretty good, but no better then Ryker in my very uniformed opinion, just have room to take a guy like this...this year. Seems like we are taking alot more athletes this year that can play multiple positions, which isnt a bad thing. If you cant get elite position athletes, you still gotta try and get elite athletes and coach em up where you see them fitting best. Quote Link to comment
