Bring him back to the top....
A buddy just told me that NU is pushing hard to get him away from Purdue after losing out on Gabbert. Does anyone know any news on this or is this just a rumor?
I've hear something about that too.
In a perfect world this may be true. But something tells me the ship may have already sailed with this guy. It's unfortunate, but would you want to be a schools "oh sh#t" replacement? Or would you be loyal to the school that committed to you being "the" guy?
If they told me from the beginning they could only take one QB and someone else committed first, I wouldn’t have a problem with it.
Happens all the time. Me and four other guys interview for one position. The company chooses one of the other guys. 6 months later they call me back saying they have an opening and ask if I’m interested? If it’s a good company and I was treated well the first time around, you betcha.
A lot depends on the kids maturity, but I can see it happening.
I also believe we continued to recruit him as a non QB for a while too, which may help.
