Did we really recruit Carr very hard?? Never heard that before.
Jones tried to recruit Carr, who was living in Houston while his brother-David Carr-played for the Houston Texans. Carr said it came down to SMU and Fresno State, though he always wanted to get back to his roots in California's central valley. Jones apparently knew what he was missing. During the press conference leading up the game, Jones raved so much about Carr that some clarification was in order.
"I think he's the best quarterback we'll face this year," Jones said. "He throws the ball very accurately. He can run. He can move a little bit. I thought the quarterback from Central Florida (Blake Bortles) was probably the best one we played. I think Derek is ahead of him.
June always speaks positively about every team and player we play. That isn't going to change. He intentionally mentioned the UCF QB in the comparison instead of bringing up Manziel and Florence and knew the media wouldn't call him on it.
