Well he will have to preform at a high level to make it back to a BCS school. I don't know if it's worth the risk.

i'd bet he has his eyes pointed towards Manhattan. Family relationship of some sorts, i'd guess, and an offense that can use a tebow-type QB. i'm sure it is no coincidence that he ended up at this juco.

What happens when he rides the pine down there too?

he obviously wants to be a QB. the worst thing in life is having regrets.

i think he is trying to live life without the regret of not giving it his all to make this happen, and that is not a bad thing, IMO.

Papa Derby is friends with Bielema

Bielema recruited Coffeyville CC when he was an assistant at K-State and has connections there,.

Bielema tells the Derby's to go there for a year and he will be a spot waiting for him at Wisky.

He will have to give up his moped. However he gets this.

could be.

but someone at KSU is probably still friendly with Derby, still recruits Coffeyville and runs an offense that would fit Derby's skill set.

I hope AJ does well and gets his shot. It's too bad it didn't work out here for him but I agree, there's nothing worse than not going for what you really want. It'll suck to see him at Wisky (if that's true) but I hope he eventually ends his football career with no regrets.

After watching his throwing motion and accuracy, I can only hope Bielema is successful in landing him and keeps him at quarterback.

Naw, Wisconsin will need someone.

At least he will be playing fb and not sitting on the bench.

Coffeyville is going to offer competition as well. My son was recruited to play there and we watched them play Butler CC in October. CCC had some huge kid from New York playing QB. He was about 6'5" and 230 pounds...looked like Vince Young, but looking at the roster, I don't see much behind him...only one other QB from a kansas high school. Butler had the kid that previously backed up Scheelhause from Illinois (Chandler Whitmer). Both QB's were absolute studs.

This is one of the very best juco's in the nation, but also has a reputation for being a pretty rough town and rough place to go to school.
