HuskerJax Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If I remember correctly, and it's very possible I don't, didn't he commit to Louisville before bo was fired? Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If I remember correctly, and it's very possible I don't, didn't he commit to Louisville before bo was fired? 3 months before Bo was fired. 4 Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Nebraska was in the running for him but we weren't in the top 2, that was Louisville and Florida. He came on an official visit and loved it but that is about as far as it went. We were recruiting him as an athlete but told him he could have a try at QB. He eliminated Florida, and chose between us and Louisville. He came for the Miami game, which everyone remembers was absolutely rocking. Mom loved Bo and staff. If he eliminated UF, then why did he visit there the weekend before signing day? Quote Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Lamar has even said he almost committed to Florida on signing day but backed out. Many thought Florida was out of it with the firing of Muschamp but McElwain talked Lamar into taking an official and it almost sealed the deal. Quote Link to comment
cornstar Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I'd like to reminder everyone that Mike Riley DID sign Lamar Jackson. (He's just a different Lamar Jackson and is a CB, not a QB.) Haha, good point. I wish they would not have burned his redshirt this year. Quote Link to comment
Ed Helms Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 LET'S RILE SOME PEOPLE UP!! Just thought it was worth noting for people who don't follow recruiting or just started recently: Lamar Jackson had us in his final two in 2014. We fired our head coach. He goes to Louisville. Hindsight is 20/20... Sorry, but you're full of sh#t. He visited here, and chose Louisville well before Bobo was fired. Bobo and Timmy Beck had Kevin Dillman as their QB, who struggled at the JV level in Texas as a senior, and ended up signing with North Texas as a TE. You want to get some people riled up, let's talk about Bobo and Timmy never offering NU legacy Joe Burrow, who will likely be tOSU's starting QB next year. 9 Quote Link to comment

Doesn't add up at all... he had multiple Florida CB's in the days leading up to NSD. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Don't think he would've been close to the superstar he is with Louisville if he chose Nebraska instead. He was an extremely raw passer last season. Being coached by Petrino helped him a lot this past offseason. Gifted runner though Quote Link to comment
GBRFAN Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I've seen Jackson talking about his coaches many times. He might've been better than Armstrong but I don't get the sense our former coaches would have developed him into what he is this season.Considering that he would have had little to no time under that staff, you may be right. But it's not like Riley and Langsdorf have done much with Tommy or Ryker. That should be a huge concern going forward. It's not a concern. They didn't choose either of those quarterbacks. If they can't develop POB or Gebbia after a couple years that will be a concern. So certain coaches can only develop players that they themselves recruited? That's a new one to me. If true, we should be even more concerned. It doesnt seem that they did much with O'Brien, either. Yikes. Have you seen practices? Quote Link to comment

I mean, you can check the crystal ball predictions that had Lamar, while committed to Louisville, HEAVILY favored to flip. This is similar to many players who have CBs that don't match their commit. Or, you know, you can tell me I'm full of sh#t and "burn me". You've really got me down in the dumps now. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 If you had to pick between Petrino and Bo to develop a QB in a couple years, I think we know who would be a safer pick. Quote Link to comment
