I understand the concept spoken in the posts but I just don't see how BC was a desperation move being that we were recruiting him even before the Gabbert situation. True, he may have never gotten an offer had we kept Gabbert (I think Watson said that Gabbert was going to be the only QB for that class), but a relationship was build over time and he had an committed to USF. The dominos fell and we got him on board. Yes he had a peer at WKU but really can you compare anything about that program to NU. I don't know too many young men with even decent talent who would turn down an offer to NU for WKU because the coach is an alumni of the school they are leaving. Maybe we got lucky the way everything fell in to place right on time with USF, Gabbert, etc, but not desperation. Having a back up is not desperation.
