Brandon Peters commits to harbaugh

[Lincoln100]

Son of a biscuit! Does that mean he is out for the spring game? Was really hoping he would make it and that we would have an advantage. Was really hoping we could get him. This blows

Good.

Personally, I would prefer more of a dual threat quarterback. Hopefully they are recruiting someone like that.

Chris Oladokun is my preference, even over Peters

From the beginning it sounded like he was going to be a Michigan lean. I thought I also read that he had family in Michigan or went to Michigan.

Not having followed, is he somebody we are after and/or have a chance with?

 

[ssmith84]

Yes on both fronts. Currently committed to USF, but seems interested in exploring options. Really accurate on the move. Kind of Russell Wilson-y

Yeah, that's what Riley's offense is focused on. A dual threat QB. ?????????

Riley is offense is more of a pro style QB but that has some speed and can run a few times/game. So, he is probably looking for the faster pro style qb or a dual threat that is more arm.
And Peters was Riley's best qb target that is now gone.

IMO, it's likely that Harbaugh pressured him to commit now and not attend the Nebraska Spring Game. The timing is not a coincidence.

I don't know if Peters was the best target. Jacob Eason is also a pro-style qb that is being targeted.

I just don't see it. Feels more like a Pelini recruit. You compared him to Russel Wilson? The guy has good escapability, but lots of his throws look arm-puntish. But if Langsdorf and Riley think he can do it, I am more than willing to see what happens. Would be nice to land someone that felt like a sure thing, and for me, that guy was Peters.

I didn't see the arm punt thing at all. Can you link the film you watched and maybe the time (ish) where you saw them. Its been a while since I watched.

I hated myself for throwing the Russell Wilson part in there, because it always seems to detract from the discussion. From what I remember watching, Oladokun was making some very accurate throws on the move under duress. I'd like to see more of what he can do when not running for his life. On his hudl junior film, he makes a really nice throw to the back pylon that he drops in where only his receiver could get it.

Maybe some of my preference for him over Peters is that Peters is off the table. Curses Harbaugh.

Eason is a pipe dream, IMO

I'm sure by December this staff will have found their QB in this class... Obvious Harbaugh put on the pressure for Peters to commit before the spring game which I would imagine they have so recruits of their own visiting for the game.

Sure some young QB want to see what Nebraska new pro style offense looks like too.

Confident Langsdorf and Riley will find their man.

Agreed, Eason is a pipe dream. But, Eason is more highly rated than Peters, referring to the best qb target. IMO, Peters was a pipe dream as well. On this site, Peters had 3 high interest places singled out as his favorites. Michigan was one, NU was not. I don't believe it took too much arm twisting for Peters to commit to Michigan.

Langsdorf to Armstrong: "You're not going to be a running back."

Just a guess on my part, and I don't think I'm reaching, a qb recruit for this staff will need a 60+ completion percentage and the higher the better. We already have a somewhat seasoned dual-threat qb that completes in the low 50's, and he hasn't been anointed starter. I don't see us recruiting a qb that can't throw the ball really, really well.

Harbaugh lost his top prospect to Stanford. I'm a huge Peters fan, this sucks, on to the next one...
