OU went for him over Cornwell. I know that OU has turned into a spread offense. Is Hansen that type of QB? If so, then I understand the choice...
I just noticed that both Rivals and Scout have him considerably below Cornwell, much lower on Scout. Also, he seems to be called a pro-style QB, so I don't really understand. Schools rarely let legacy-hood affect their decisions in the long run...He's a legacy, which appeared to be a big factor.
Also, Cornwell not being an Oklahoma native didn't put much pressure on either side.
Yup..I read with him being a legacy..Some bigtime money boosters really pushed for him being the QB in this class..How true that is..I dunno..With the way "Big Game" Bob is letting his football program slip into mediocrity..I can believe him allowing boosters tell him how to run his football program..He's a legacy, which appeared to be a big factor.

I've always said that the two positions hardest to evaluate are OL and QB. With both of them, you need to have them on campus for a year or so before you know what you've got. I've done a little research since I posted this and it looks like Hansen is also rated as a pro style QB. However, he's picked up a lot of yardage on the ground, so he's obviously more dual threat that Cornwell...Stoops is starting to get competition from Baylor and TCU for the Texas kids. As far as rankings, who knows? I remember P. Sims being highly ranked coming out and he hasn't done much.
Mack started a thread about a month back about the 2010 QB class. That entire class seems to have been overrated, not just Phillip.Stoops is starting to get competition from Baylor and TCU for the Texas kids. As far as rankings, who knows? I remember P.

It doesn't really take many not to work out when you can only sign 25. It's going to hurt this current class, if we can't get Paige and Foster in. At least, Foster has completed his work. Paige is still taking an online course and won't know until July. Of course, the Clearinghouse will scrutinize that closely also...Mack started a thread about a month back about the 2010 QB class.

And yet, spring before last, I thought he had passed AJ and would be our QB...Mack started a thread about a month back about the 2010 QB class. That entire class seems to have been overrated, not just Phillip.
I was told the day after the second scrimmage of 2011 fall camp that Sims looked much better than AJ in both scrimmages.And yet, spring before last, I thought he had passed AJ and would be our QB...
Stoops knew we were on him and his ROI would be horrible :wink:. Did not want to get shown up with us coming into his backyard and getting the best player in the state.Hansen certainly seems like a good prospect -- he's a pretty skilled runner and looks to have nice touch on the ball -- but it definitely was curious that OU had a guy with NFL measurables in their backyard and didn't seem that interested.
Yep after A-Day I thought Sims deserved it. But you could tell a HUGE difference between the two once the real pressure hit.And yet, spring before last, I thought he had passed AJ and would be our QB...

Cornwell can move too. He had over 700 yards rushing last year.I've done a little research since I posted this and it looks like Hansen is also rated as a pro style QB. However, he's picked up a lot of yardage on the ground, so he's obviously more dual threat that Cornwell...
