Not really sure what happened with him or O'Korn. Guess they won't be doing spring ball, which wouldn't really matter since they have to sit a year anyways. Maybe they are waiting until after signing day, at which point more teams would have a better grasp of their needs at the position, giving them more options.
I have no idea, just putting out possibilities.

15 years, eh? So we're gonna go ahead and ignore the kid who plays for the Giants and set just about every passing record in SU history, I guess.
I am. you can choose to consider him whatever you want... one good season vs scrub teams doesnt equate to a game changer to me.
how many 10 win season did he lead us to again? Right...

How many 10 win seasons did Donovan McNabb lead us to, again? Oh, that's right, ZERO.
I guess we can't consider McNabb the real deal, either.
McNabb who, by the way, got to throw to guys like Marvin Harrison and Kevin Johnson. Nassib was throwing to Van freaking Chew.
I love McNabb, he's my favorite football player of all time. But give me a break. He was surrounded by 10x the talent Nassib was.

Also, "one good season."
Nassib's numbers in his three seasons as a starter:
56.4%, 2334 yards, 19 TD, 8 INT
62.4%, 2685 yards, 22 TD, 9 INT
62.4%, 3749 yards, 26 TD, 10 INT
Don't let the fact that he had one stellar year block out the fact that he put up very good numbers in his sophomore and junior years.
I'd kill to have another Ryan Nassib on the roster.

Great article brother! I always liked Nassib. Kid has a good head on his shoulders too.

I think it's safe to say most of us didn't see that coming. I know the NFL can find you if you have talent - but a school in Canada????

He spent a full year at Penn State so probably wanted to get as far away from that cult as he could.

He was the "player to be named later" in the Paul & Gary Gait deal.

You're assuming we offered to take him ... but it sounds like we didn't express much mutual interest based on what some have said. Did we even offer to take him on?
Fair point.

Except I'm making the assumption that we didn't ... but I also wonder if he is doing this to get around having to sit for a season as well ... if it allows him to do that it makes perfect sense ... if it doesn't then I have no idea What he is thinking.
