Landlord Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Hopefully just because he's another in the family doesn't mean people will immediately be trashing him and questioning his offer for his time here. He has impressive film, I personally feel he has the ability to contribute nicely here, just as Ben has and Jake likely will. Link to comment
iruletheskool Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I'm happy and hopeful for him, but we all kinda knew it would happen eventually, so my shock and excitement levels aren't too high. Link to comment
zoogs Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Donno about Jake, haven't heard much about him but supposedly Sam's the most athletic of the Cotton boys. Link to comment

Stumpy1 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I believe Jake was one of the most impressive lineman during spring ball. So is Sam going to be offensive or defensive...He would be a great looking TE for us and that is one area we need people at. Link to comment
carlfense Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Cotton last name = automatic Nebraska offer? The coaches know infinitely more about evaluating recruits than I do . . . but my cynicism makes me think that there are better options than offering EVERY SINGLE Cotton boy. Especially in this small of a class. Link to comment

So is Sam going to be offensive or defensive...He would be a great looking TE for us and that is one area we need people at. We still haven't seen Jake in real game situations yet though either. For all we know, it could be just coach speak either to justify the scholarship or just Barney being proud of his kid. Remember Ben was really hyped last spring, but so far he hasn't lived up to all that hype. Not sure what I think about this, when we have so few scholarships to give in the first place. However, this probably fills one of the 2 TEs we wanted for this class, and maybe that's the biggest reason of all for why he got his scholly. We are very low in depth at that position, and maybe the coaches felt we weren't going to be the final choice for nearly the rest of the TEs on our board. Otherwise, if he was a bigger prospect, why wouldn't Sam get his scholarship earlier?? I think they wanted two other higher caliber TEs, but since so many TEs dropped us they felt it necessary to drop a scholly on someone to fill the hole. Anyways, it's never in my mind to tear down a kid, especially one I don't know much about. Although many of us are raising a few eyebrows over this, we still need to welcome him in with open arms. It's still a proud moment for him, and I wish him only the best. Welcome abord the new B1G Big Red Sam! Link to comment

lionsfan93 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I do trust the coaches here. They know its a small class and we don't have room to just through scholorships around. THey know what they are doing. Congrats to Sam and the entire Cotton family. Link to comment
zoogs Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ben has done quite well, I think. At least, he's a starter. I had a lot of questions about Jake, a guy we were literally competing against no Div1 schools that I can recall, so this does seem like a case where the family name has a lot to do with the offer. But that said, it also seems like there's a good chance each and every one of these boys are gonna earn it. Can't argue with that. Link to comment
iruletheskool Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 the kids didn't camp anywhere, so an offer from another big school was going to be unlikely. Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I think we got the point the first time rule. Link to comment
