The point is that without Held's recruiting, NU would probably be in a very difficult situation at the I-back and Duck-R positions. 3 out of the 4 top I-backs are guys Held recruited (the other was a walk-on), and the top 2 Duck-R positions are also Held recruits. Just because you want to be a whiner and say "those guys haven't proven anything yet", it doesn't discount Held's ability to bring in talent for his position group.
No - it actually doesn't. Perhaps you should sit down and have an honest conversation with kids 13-17 years old. I think you'd be shocked to find out what exists on their phones. Not saying its right but it certainly doesn't fit what I think most legislatures are trying to do by making child porn a felony.
I'm whining? I remember a kid who not too long ago was gonna be the best thing since sliced bread. I believe his name was Tyjon Lyndsay. He didnt do a thing but someone brought in his "talent". McQuitty was a 4* and hasn't seen the field as well. My point was that at this point they are just talent on paper until they perform on the field. I wasn't bashing Held's recruiting.
If no one transfers after this season, there will be at least 14 defensive linemen returning for next season between scholarships and walk ons
Neal was a big talent coming out of Omaha Central. I am not sure what derailed his college career, but he may have been recruited as a 4-3 DE, and couldn't find a fit in the 3-4 scheme. That's just a guess. With 20-25 scholarship players recruited each year, and only 44 players on the 2-deep, around half of the guys recruited will end up as non-contributors.
