As I understand it, Hackenberg was a 5 star recruit and one of the top H.S. QBs in the country and O'Brien got him to commit to a team on probation that wasn't even bowl eligible. While that shows his recruiting chops, I don't think it says much else. Was there other 5 star QBs that he turned away because he didn't think they were tall enough? All Hackenberg tells me is he likes well regarded QBs. And if going with Hackenberg was enough, then every college coach in the country only wants big QBs because virtually all of them would taken Hackenberg.
