Wilhite On Burrows Recruitment

[Baron Winnebago]

It also says recruiting rankings also have plenty of politics in it if he was a top 250 player.

I don't doubt politics are involved, but Dillman had the classic huge sophomore year and got rated highly and then just wasn't good at football/had a series of eligibility misadventures which resulted in him plummeting, at least on rivals.

Frost making the "is he better than what we've got" statement is a microcosm of his time at NU.

Not to defend Frost, but the way I understand it was a legit question, not a statement. At that point Burrow was a career backup, playing only garbage time at OSU. No one knew he was a future Heisman winner and No. 1 pick. Ohio State sure didn’t.
We did have something pretty special in a freshman 2AM. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for Frost to ask if this OSU backup was better than Martinez.

This has nothing to do with Dillman but I’ve heard where a player blows off the recruiting guys they magically go down in the rankings. If the player gives the recruiting guys a lot of love they tend to get a bump a lot of times. I don’t even follow it nearly as close as I use to because I’ve came accustomed to Nebraska putting together a top class in the west only to suck anyways.

Burrow transferred before the 2018 season, meaning Frost made that decision before AM had ever taken a snap. at that time he was just a HS recruit who missed his entire senior season to injury

Burrow had been ranked fairly highly as a recruit

Joe Burrow was a middling 3-star recruit. A 5.6 on Rivals, unranked nationally, the No. 24 dual threat QB. He met no definition of a "ranking fairly high" as a recruit.

Adrian Martinez was at Nebraska for 2018 spring practice, so Frost would have been very familiar with his capabilities first hand by the time Burrow entered the portal in May 2018. 2AM wasn't "just a HS recruit" at that time. Frost had seen him take plenty of snaps up close and personal all spring.

We should be happy Frost passed him up. Going to LSU was the best thing for him. Plus Burrow probably would have bought Frost another year or two and prolonged our misery.

I mean people around Ohio State's program thought Burrow beat Haskins out for the job. What he was rated in high school isn't super relevant for that.

Understood. I was specifically responding to the person who said he was fairly highly rated out of high school.

And if you're considering taking a transfer who has never really played in college, high high school rating is somewhat - though not super - relevant. It gives you an idea of his talent and athleticism.

Except Burrows was projected to be the starter over Haskins and other highly rated QB's until he was injured. If he is good enough to start over OSU's QB Room then that shows his talent and play. Plus Martinez was coming off of a major shoulder injury and to this day he hasn't made it through a season without missing games due to injury since his Sophomore year of high school.

I don’t remember Burrows ever going to be the starter for sure. I know he had a good spring. It seemed like Urb’s offensive staff dropped the ball there to a degree overlooking him while on the roster.

You might be right on the Starter bit. I can't stand OSU and really don't follow them. I do remember Joe was battling Haskins for either back up or starter and appeared to be ahead until he broke his hand. Some of the Ohio St players use to joke with Justin Fields that he got lucky Burrows broke his hand or Fields wouldn't have started at OSU.

The broken hand happened prior to when Haskins battled Burrow in the spring game. Burrow out played him in the spring but the OSU staff pretty much made up their mind Haskins was the man going into fall, so after spring ball Burrow let them know he was transferring giving Frost the first shot.

I get that but that was the prior season. Burrow still could have won the starting job in the spring but for whatever reason they were in love with Haskins who had real game experience when Burrow had a better spring.
