I do not have any connection to this kid other than just the fact that we watched him in the Class B final and he is a hell of an athlete. So for the fourth time, what miffed me was Nebraska should especially be targeting good in state kids like him. I don't think anyone reached out like Craig Bohl did to this kid. When you are a lets face it struggling program like Nebraska is now, if you are bleeding even a few good kids from your own state it is too many.
The apathy wreaks of incompetence frankly. That kid showed everything you want on the field there in Memorial and they let him walk. I just dont understand it. It doesn't bode well for these coaches and sends a bad message.
Clearly the kid is a beast athlete. 6'2 230 lbs, accounted for all his teams scores against Skutt, coming out of western Nebraska. Multiple highlight reel runs, decent passer. I don't know his grades, could be good, could be bad, I just know what I saw on the field, the kid can definitely play. Nebraska needs to build these in-state kids. The difference between a kid that can do it and one that doesn't is often times the expectation level of his coach.
And he showed it there, on that field.
Dont get me wrong, I am not sitting here mad, take a chill, just dismayed.
this is just entertainment for me. Now if a piece of my peanut butter granola bar broke off and fell in the trash....then I would be pissed.
