SIGNED QB Zack Darlington

[Thanks_Tom RR]

Here is your recruiter in this class.

Darlington will be a great help at getting some FL talent at skill positions, namely Tony James and Kenric Young. We also need to get some OL and DL, and I think Farmer (who has already been hitting the camp seen hard and making a lot of peer contacts) is more likely to by our recruiter in this class for those positions.

Great pick up. Getting a great prospect and beating out Urban? That's perfection.

 

[EZ-E]

We have recruited the QB position very well. We have quality depth there.

We have recruited the QB position very well. We have quality depth there.

It's been decades since we could say that. Even during the strong 90's run we only had a couple guys (although they were really good).

 

[Husker from Kansas]

I just hope that these guys are willing to buy their time and sit for awhile before starting, its looking like theres a chance it could look something like Armstrong will be a RsJr when he gets a chance to start, if he starts for 2 years then Stanton would be a RsSoph when he when he gets the nod, then Darlington would be RsSr when he gets the starting gig. Thats some serious waiting Darlington.

 

[Always a husker]

I wonder if we see split time in the future between our qb's. Darlington looks brillant when running zone read & play-action. I think it's gonna be a tight race between Stanton and Darlington after Armstrong graduates. Both of them posses all the intangibles and leadership qualities that you would want at the qb position.

His interview this afternoon with Damon and Mikl was really good...kid is solid and was already talking about trying to recruit some teammates to Lincoln including a stud OLineman

That depth is a huge comfort zone.

For the last few years we have been 1 T-Mart ankle sprain away from instituting a pedestrian offense and relying on our defense. And that would NOT have been an ideal scenario.

Agreed. Great depth and competition.

Just Awesome news about ZD.

I agree with you, but think Armstrong will probably transfer next year unless he is the starter. Just because of how pro-husker Stanton and it seems like Darlington is, I don't see them leaving.

No idea what he'd do but he really SHOULD be the starter next year. He'll basically have a two year head start on the other two.

No chance he decomitts

Will put up HUGE numbers this fall- the Apopka Blue Darters have almost everyone back- LOTS of weapons

Expect his star numbers to increase

If he's not then there has to be a problem, but I think he will impress, IDK why but to me Armstrong has that "it" to him. But then again, if I knew anything I would be recruiting players not hanging out on a messageboard

Just to be clear (not directed at Kansas), I think Armstrong will be a great QB. I didn't mean to imply that he would be the starter by default, in case anyone took it that way.

Please no. We need to have a #1 QB that leads the team. We don't need multiple QBs going in and out of games. That very seldom works well.

There are lots of top programs around the country that recruit good QBs every year and they don't have QB controversies need to have multiple QBs playing. I have confidence that Beck and Bo will manage it well. That won't prevent some fans claiming otherwise.
