I've been getting a kick out of these "No Rattler" posters on this and other forums. They'd be foaming at the mouth to have the #1 QB in his class even remotely interested in Nebraska. To all of a sudden act like he's no good is just classic Nebraska fan crimson colored glasses. Seriously, how can anyone be above a former 5* qb considering we're coming off four losing seasons in a row? It just mind blowing.
Absolute 100% guess here based on nothing other than reading crap.
I would love to think that this is the case. Not sure why else he would cancel, other than maybe Whipple said no thank you.
No one is saying Rattler doesn't have the skills, he's uber-talented. I think there are major red flags about his attitude and mental side of things. If he's focused and willing to do the work necessary, I'd take him in a hot second, but if he's going to go all Terrell Owens headcase, I'd pass for a guy that can fit the team better.
You are right if you only go off what you mentioned, but there is more information available. He was featured on a Netflix series called QB1: Beyond the lights. That show follows around 3 high school QBs their senior year documentary style. That showed Rattler as a VERY talented prima donna with significant character issues that divided locker rooms. Numerous stories over his duration at OU indicate his character has not changed. Combine that with only seeing him play terribly in the NU game while surrounded with an extremely talented supporting cast would point to him being overrated. It seems like you don't agree but it isn't obvious that the juice is worth the squeeze.
Correct me if I am wrong (which goes without saying on this board...ha), isn't Hummer younger? I thought someone was saying that he was probably a recruit to build depth for the future.
