Paulus Decision tomorrow

Well the Greg Paulus saga will come to a end tomorrow. Paulus a former Parade All American High School QB and former point guard for the Duke Blue Devils is to decide between his hometown Syracuse Orangemen and the Nebraska Huskers to go play college football at for one year. Greg has traveled all over the country looking at school to goto. That is why this is such a weird story because one day he was working out for the Green Bay Packers then he was up at Michigan talking to Rich Rodriguez and after all that Syracuse came a knocking the some how Nebraska’s name got threw into the ring. The reason he can play is because he never redshirted at Duke and is graduating in four years and can get a special waiver from the NCAA to play one year of football.

Good for Greg on keeping his name relivevant because he sure fell off the Duke wagon when he lost his job mid way through his senior year. Paulus was the top QB coming out of high school at Christian Brothers Academy by Syracuse. He threw for 11,763 yards and 152 touchdowns in high school. He chose to play basketball at Duke instead. His little brother is a quarterback at North Carolina so the genes are their for him to be a QB.

But I don’t need this show to make it’s way to Lincoln. First is was former Miami QB Robert Marve and now it Paulus who have been down to Nebraska for a visit. We have had some questions about the QB position since Joe Ganz graduated but Zac Lee looks to have taken the lead for that position. Patrick Witt looked like the front runner heading into Spring ball but up and decided he wanted to transfer to Yale for academic reasons. We have plenty of quarterbacks at Nebraska with Lee, LeTravis Washington who was a linebacker but played QB in high school, Cody Spano tore is ACL in spring ball, Cody Green tabbed as the heir apparrent to the top spot because he was a top QB coming out of high school this year and looked good in the spring game and Taylor Martinez who is a wild card because he is suppose to be a safety but played QB in high school in California where he was tabbed as the best in California at that position last year.

In a nut shell I don’t want Mr. Paulus we already have enough talent for this year at QB. Thanks for the consideration and good luck playing for the Orangemen. They need all the help they can get maybe you can even impress some scouts’ in the NFL. If not there is always room for you on Coach K’s bench.
