AUcivE09 582 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Eliminated us for Okla-freaking-homa?!?! Mr. Hansen - you are no longer my favorite and I will be taking my last name back now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerPaw1 0 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Not surprised. I believe he is the Sooners #1 target and he grew up an OK fan if I am not mistaken. I think Doss is who AU will end up with this cycle with Cornwell more than likely going to bama. I still have hope at us getting in the Watson sweepstake as I think Chad Morris gets a HC gig at end of the year this season which might cause Watson to look around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueridge 29 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Per 247, Justice Hanson released a top 2 today... Oklahoma and Texas A&M -that stinks. It's not just they lead. He eliminated all other schools. This free tweet for example. Sooner_Nation SoonerNation QB Justice Hansen, down to #Sooners and #Aggies, talks about differences in practice structure at both schools: http://t.co/PXb03sK2w3 ($) Its a long time to 2014 signing day.

metafour 4,969 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Its a long time to 2014 signing day. QB recruits dont typically flop around, and even if he was, it is unlikely that we'd be waiting until NSD to see who our QB signing was going to be.

I still have hope at us getting in the Watson sweepstake as I think Chad Morris gets a HC gig at end of the year this season which might cause Watson to look around Pretty much what I wrote a couple of weeks ago. No chance with Cornwell or Justice. Not the right fit. I do like that we at least recruit them as long as we don't spend too much time and money that could be better invested elsewhere for more critical needs. Watson on the other hand would be a great fit. I just think he is a longshot at best because he's probably looking for a place where he could contribute early. At the end of the day Doss is our guy and if we sign another QB/athlete it could be Moss who might get a look at QB then quickly settle into another position.

Dixie1860 27 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hansen and Cornwell are not the best fits. Ross, Watson and the Kentucky Kid are really better suited to a HUNH offense but have enough ability as passers that you have to make an effort IMO. I am pretty happy with the QB position going forward with the ones we have. Whether its this year, next year or the year after that, JJ will be the guy for 3-4 years once he earns the start.

metafour 4,969 Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Hansen fits fine. Otherwise, how would he fit at Texas A&M (one of his finalists)? The kid from Kentucky fits no better than Hansen or even Cornwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,108 Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Guys. Enough with this "he does not fit' mess. Apparently many have created this false myth that QBs in Gus's offense have to be a read/option QB. because of Cam's success. That is simply not the case. Gus has proved his offense can adapt to any mobile or pocket QB as long as he is efficient. For example, Chris Todd in 2009 had 22 Pass TDs (then Auburn record) and only 6 NTs. At Tulsa, in 2007 Paul Smith threw for over 5000 yards and 47 TDs. In 2008 David Johnson threw for over 4000 yards and 46 TDs. All 3 were pocket QBs that worked very well in Gus's offense. Last year at Arky St. Ryan Aplin actually had 60 less rush attempts under Gus than he did the year before under Freeze. The reality is a mobile QB is nice but far from needed or a necessary fit. Gus and Rhett Develop QBs period, regardless if they are mobile or pocket QBs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems logical that a mobile QB would be preferred for some reason. For the record, I am agreeing with y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus and Rhett Develop QBs period, regardless if they are mobile or pocket QBs.. Sure, CGM's has adapted his offense to fit the available talent at QB but his preference is clearly a dual threat QB. Gus didnt recruit Todd or Alpin. He inherited them. I believe he inherited his Tulsa QB's as well. He did, however, recruit and sign Rollison, Newton, Frazier, Pike, Johnson, Marshall and Smith, all dual threat QB's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right E, but my original statement that he nor Cornwell were the preference of CGM began this. I still say all things equal I'll take a QB that can run as well as throw over a pure drop-back guy anyday. Not that he couldn't be successful because you are exactly right.
