You're talking about Nebraska's WR, right?

I'm not sure that he would've been much of an improvement over BJ.

Not looking for him to start over BJ...

a big problem is the fact that BJ has never had to face competition.... Carnes would have pushed BJ.

I was talking to Bull-By-Marriage about this the other day. A big mistake made by the coaches was taking away BJs only competition at the position. While we needed the numbers at WR, we could have had a QB competition every year with Landi as the number 2 guy. It would have been a fun 3 years of the two of them competing.

Remember the 1st spring game when BJ and Landi were first here. Didn't see a big difference between the two at that scrimmage. At least Landi was tall enough to see over the middle.

Taking away? Do you guys still not realize that he was going to Nebraska anyway? Carnes just wanted USF in his back pocket in case Nebraska didn't come through. USF coaches didn't want to be used. Wake up a smell the coffee.

Nope. The Nebraska offer came very late when their other options dried up. Carnes had committed to USF, then Nebraska became interested very late after they lost other recruits at the position. USF needed a QB signee, and were about to dropped at the last minute by Carnes. They dropped Carnes because they did not want to play the same games with another commit that Carnes was playing with them. Go look it up. As I recall, Carnes ended up signing with them after Signing Day, because Nebraska hadn't offered yet. But he wasn't going to sign with USF as long as Nebraska was a possibility.

The competition that I was referencing was Landi.
