Orangebloods has learned that John O'Korn, former #UofH QB reportedly considering Texas transfer, will not be targeted by #Longhorns staff.

 

[jekelish]

TOS mentioned that Sam Clausman, who by the way is from Aquinas (along with Byrne), is planning on talking to O'Korn to talk to him about SU.

Yes.

End of the weekend? You really think that quickly?

The one thing that has to play in our favor is that, with Florida's new coaching staff, he probably doesn't have THAT much of a pre-existing relationship with their coaches, right? Meanwhile, he's already got a good relationship with Shafer/Lester and two guys he went to high school with are headed here as freshmen next season.

if he transfer here does he count against this years class or last years class because he will be a January enrollee?

Last year's class as long as he enrolls in January.

Because we're running out of room in this year's class.

thats what I thought if we get him makes up for losing Alin

It has to happen fast Monday is late enrollment deadline at UF and it is 1-20 at SU

O'Korn was listed as a pro-style QB when being recruited, He has good size and runs a 4.7 forty (1/10th slower than Mitch Kimble). He looks like a departure from Alin, AJ and Mitch. I am somewhat confused with respect to what Lester really wants in a QB. That makes me a bit confused as to what offense he wants to run. Perhaps, that's what he means when he says its "variable". Still, this group of QB's don't seem to make any sense to me. Since O'Korn would have to sit next year, does this mean he will lean more towards Austin Wilson who is almost identical in size, height an speed?

I would love to get O'Korn and see what happens.

Since Lester took over the offense the only QB he recruited was Dungey. I think Dungey and O'korn have similar playing styles and similar statures. So I think so far he has been pretty consistent in the QB's he likes.

 

[RoofBeam]

Not sure what kind of QB Dungey will become but if O'Korn goes to SU he will be the best qb on campus next year (too bad he wouldn't be playing).

Lester recruited Kimble.
EDIT - Dungey is a dual threat.

 

[Cusefan78]

For some reason I thought he could play right away

Lester was good, he probably wants someone like himself. Only natural

he also mentioned Nassib would be a perfect fit for his offense

 

[WickedOrange]

No way he comes here and next week my daughter will tell me she's dating Chad Kelly.

Because that's just my luck as a Cuse football fan.

I am getting a good feeling about this one...
