Maybe not getting Brent Schaeffer wasn't such a bad thing ...
N.C. State thought it had quarterback Brent Schaeffer coming out of high school, only to lose him at the last second to Tennessee.
Then Schaeffer flamed out in Knoxville, got booted off the team and wound up in junior college in California.
The second time around, State was right there again for Schaeffer's signature, only to lose him at the last second to Ole Miss.
Schaeffer didn't exactly set the world on fire last season for the Rebels. Now, it looks like his days as a quarterback may be over. According to the Memphis Commericial-Appeal, Schaeffer's being move to wide receiver.
What does this mean for Wolfpack Nation? Not much, except that State fans can at least stop wondering about what "might have been" had Schaeffer ever shown up in Raleigh. Chances are, State probably would have been right where it is now - with a new coach at the helm and still looking for a QB to emerge from Philip Rivers' enormous shadow.
