I heard the LSU qb wanted to be a Husker. cause he's dad was a Husker and he like Nebraska Football.

But from there I never got the complete story about what went wrong. I think it involves a coach who played at ohio state, Bo P. and some how burrow went to ohio state.

Can someone explain how this all happened?

Burrow wanted to play here so badly that he offered to be a walk on. But BO and Tim Beck laughed at his face and told him to get his weak *** sauce out of here.

Riley winked at him on Facebook but it wasn't enough to win him over.

Plain and simple I don’t believe Burrow ever wanted to come here. He had bigger programs recruiting him. He’s a perfect example how our past is irrelevant to this generation.
Someone else who knows the story can explain better but I believe it went like this:

Bo passed on him bc he was on his way out and knew we had no chance.

Riley tried to recruit him but it was too late in the game.

Scotty had a chance to get him but claimed our QBs were better (AMart and Gebbia).

Exactly. Better tell this to @cornhustler who has no idea why the far past is irrelevant.

I’ll do this again, why not.

Joe Burrow absolutely wanted to come here, bad. But Beck and Pelini had no interest at that time. Burrow even came to a camp and they didn’t even talk to him. Why? Because they were all in on a transfer student from Sweden playing JV football in Texas. You heard that right, playing JV. Fast forward and Bo gets fired and Riley is hired. Riley cuts ties with the Swedish kid, who end up playing H-Back an North Texas and OSU hires Beck as their OC. Riley tried to flip Burrow, after all Beck was the one that didn’t want Burrow in the first place, but fails. Fast forward and Burrow never gets a shot at OSU, so he decided to transfer when Frost is hired. Frost decided to roll with true Freshman Martinez instead and Burrow ends up at LSU.

Something to keep in mind is that it never seemed like Borrow would be the superstar he is now. He was a 5.7 3-star recruit out of HS and never sniffed the field at OSU. I wanted us to go after him because he was a legacy and seemed to fit what Beck and Frost want to do, but never dreamed he might win the Heisman.

^THIS^
And like I said in a previous Burrow post, he had stated after signing with Ohio State that it was his “dream to play for Nebraska”, but it didn’t work out and that he was happy to be a buckeye.

Burrow wanted to come here. But in the end I’m glad he didn’t, because he would never have had the success here, that he is having at LSU.

Nebraska has made many recruiting mistakes from not recruiting Burrow to not getting Duggan who is in our back yard. We are a mess right now.

Just noticed the OP called him Jaime. I seriously think he butchers these names on purpose.

SF wasn't in the picture for NU when Burrow got out of high school

Mistakes were made. Bo and Beck blew him off as a walk on type prospect. The family was hurt and then Urban came calling.

Burrow completed like 90% of his passes his senior year of HS and BoBeck recruited a guy that played JV his senior year.

I love revisionist history, Dillman was a 5 star QB who tore his Achilles in his junior year, before that he was rated as the #2 dual threat QB, one spot ahead of some kid named Kyler Murray. Nebraska thought he would heal and get better, instead he gained weight and lost speed, then was dropped as a recruit.

Joe Burrow would have got his *** kicked behind our line. Would never sniff Heisman consideration here.

Heisman no, but he would absolutely hit our open receivers all day. And he would know when to run with the ball. The kid has a very high IQ

Martinez was considered a Heisman contender after last year behind our line. Now he can't even execute a swing pass half the time.

I’m not sure about that. He made impressive decisions with defenders in his face all day. Nebraska would be a much better team with Burrow as QB... not that Frost would of played him anyway.

NU had no shot at Max, he was recruited by our current staff, but was always headed south. Fact.

I have been as critical as anyone of this staff, but that response on his recruit (or lack there of) is just flat out a false statement. Dead issue. He was never coming to NU.
