Masoli to WV or K-State?

[dosequisdawg]

This could be completely bogus, but I saw on a Big 12 board that Masoli has late interest in West Virginia or K-State. Guy says the info came from Joe Schad. Take it for what it's worth. It was just posted, so it seems like a new twist rather than something that played out a couple days ago.

But the Rebels say it's a done deal in Oxford.</p>

 

[dosequisdawg]

It sure seems like a done deal to Oxford, but who knows.

 

[Rebels7]

But it could be true.

Maybe he finally watched some film on Bradley Sowell.

Ole Miss has gone to great lengths to get this guy into grad school and what not.

Bill Stewart and West Virginiaare well known to cater to the mobile quarterback, as is the old guy at Kansas State. Houston Nutt is known as a quarterback killer to be blunt, but has a hell of a running game, always does.

He's taking an official visitto Oxfordtomorrow or so the rumor. If he was dead set on Ole Miss and nothing else, it'd be a done deal. Nutt himself said he has to recruit Masoli now. Seems as if the interest is coming from Ole Miss to me.

Masoli just wants somewhere to play. Seemed Ole Miss was his only option for a while there. Maybe now he's seeing other options in play. If I was an Ole Miss I'd better hope you reel him in on this visit, because if he visit's Morgantown, game over. I don't know why, but that's just what happens when recruits take visits up there. And let's face it West Virginia has alot more to sell than Ole Miss. Just the truth.

You may have the edge with the whole southern studies grad program though haha

There just had to be a few programs out there with a need for an experienced team and open system Masoli could thrive in.

Could be pure BS, but I honestly was surprised K-State and WVU hadn't been brought up earlier. Neither are deep at QB right now, are they?

of their offensive scheme.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Matt Jones.

But aside from that, I don't think that anyone would disagree that Nutt would prefer to run the I-formation, and the Wildcat with an occasional four WR shot-gun formation. Mitch Mustain, a spread type QB, was running Mahlzahn's offense in high school, and we saw what happened with that, and as far as Matt Jones goes, I wonder how many of those plays were designed runs because I remember him making a lot of plays with his feet by scrambling.

Regardless, Masoli is a spread QB, and it would make sense to at least look into schools that are known for running that offense. Nutt MAY adjust to his style, but he also may not. Why take a chance?

Spoil the fun. If he visits either one he is gone, even um can't keep up with those outlaws.

Barry B is going to light up the place under/behind center at WV.

[Mean Machine say what]

along with UNLV and Memphis. Kansas was mentioned earlier.

 

[patdog]

and it's hard to imagine he wouldn't have more talent/experience around him on either of those two offenses, not to mention weaker defenses to play against. But the other factor is what are their QB situations like? If either has a solid returning starter I doubt he'd wind up there.

Here's a thread about Masoli from the K-State board. http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=173&f=2670&t=6161948

I remember back from the Cam Newton saga when K-State was in the mix that they basically had nothing at QB for this year. They were just as head over heels for Cam as MSU fans were. They appear to be a delusional bunch over there. Some are arguing that he should go to K-State b/c he'd be riding the bench at Ole Miss behind Stanley...it that doesn't make you laugh I don't know what would...

Hint: It's not LSU

Lost Jarrett Brown, their starter, and the other guy doesn't appear to have a whole lot of experience. Then they have Barry Brunetti.

K-State doesn't appear to have a clear cut starter either. Their stats from last year were pretty ugly. As a team they had only 8 TD passes, and the guy that they have as the starter threw 4. Then they had 7 INT's as a team.

If I were this dude I would go to West Virginia. But that's just me.
