The Front Row

not a surprise. don't think Oregon is really in it. Louisville was always going to be tough for any school to beat, but if a school does beat them for Quick's services it will be Ohio State.

The good recruiting news keeps rolling in!

Louisville gets a lot of Thursday and Friday night games as well, not real prime time.

If Louisville goes to the Big 12, I think teams like Texas, Oklahoma, Ok State and a few others just beat them like a drum, they are just better across the board and draw better talent.
If Louisville ends up in the Big Least, what a chump conference that is becoming.
No way Louisville wants to fall to the SEC, they would be cannon fodder in that conference.

I think once Quick sees Meyer's offense unfold this year and put up huge points, and chuck the ball around a lot, plus comes up to the Shoe for a big weekend visit like the Nebraska night game or Michigan, all bets are off and OSU will be in the drivers seats.
Heard some Louisville recruits and current players putting some things about there for Quick about OSU, once the product hits the field and he goes to Columbus for a big weekend, things change.

The Big East use to be something when Miami and Va Tech were in it, now without WVU it is almost garbage. Losing TCU to the Big 12 before they hit the Big East was a killer. Do not be surprised to see them lose their automatic BCS qualifier.
I hear all the home stuff, but kids want to compete against the best and get prepared that way for the NFL, Louisville in this new world order, slighty above the best MAC teams Big East is a junk conference.
If Boise St. is truly in, they could own this pathetic conference.

Shhhh. Don't bring that up to this 83, full blown homer character. My guess is if Quick does pick Louisville that 83 will change his tune on Quick very Quickly. Quick will go from being an SEC speed WR to being a scrub within moments in 83's eyes.

I believe at least one of his parents has come out and said they prefer Quick go to a more nationally elite school. I don't remember if it was in an article or reported by someone on this site (big difference I know).

Nope, not falling into your junior high games, yee of 18 post.
Quick is elite, darn elite wherever he ends up.
Maybe in the end, he just wants to get a little further away from home as well, sometimes that happens as well.

And to the person that noted that with Quick's parents, they did say they wanted him to be in a big time setting, venue and arena.
Louisville is improving under Strong, but that and the Big East is not big time.
OSU in the Big Ten, with upcoming OOC games with California, Va Tech and North Carolina, plus at Navy and Cincy, and the Big Ten title game, plus the Horseshoe compared to Papa John's, that is big time.
How many WR's has Louisville put in the league the last decade vs. OSU?

Home schools always scare me, for some kids they are just prefer being close to home, they don't care about then number of NFL players or prime time games or what conference they will play in. Most elite kids will go the route of the football powers but for some they would rather be an hour or in Quick's case a few minutes from home. I also read that he really likes the idea of playing with Teddy Bridgewater. I really like this kid and hope the draw of The Shoe and the shot at playing for National Championships wins out but who knows.

I know what you're saying about the draw of home. But that being said, the allure of playing with Bridgewater over Braxton? Definitely homer-colored glasses.

The only good thing about losing Quick to Louisville is that he'd never come back to haunt us in a big game.

Exactly. Bridgewater is miles ahead of Braxton in the passing department. Remember they were both top 5 QB recruits.
