S Aaryn Bouzos

[huskers1]

That article that Nexus posted got me really excited about this kid. I also think this is the exact type of recruit that Pelini wants, hard hitting, tough guy who will play through almost any injury. It also showed me that he understands the tradition and expectations we have here when he was talking about the state of nebraska and the rest of husker nation. Sounds like the work ethic and measurables are there as far as speed and hitting ability go, it appears he just needs to have a little better fundamentals.

I also think Aaryn is being recruited specifically to play the peso, and not a traditional safety position. His 4.5 was actually electronically timed (I think it was a 4.53 or 4.57). People get tired of hearing "trust the coaches", but they see things in kids that those of us with untrained eyes do not. Only time will tell.

This was my thought as well. A hard hitting, in the box safety who plays bigger than his size, but also has plenty of speed to cover well if he's coached up a little bit.

I didnt see D1 talent cause they got killed by a team who got only had one legitimate d1 player. i mean how hard is that to understand? im only saying all this because unlike any of you i see who these guys play and know what type of players play here. nebraska offered him and thats why he's getting looked at..its the same old story. when lazarri got offered, all of the sudden every coach felt like a genius and looked at him but it was too late. My first impression is that our coaches didnt do their homework and didnt look at the fine print. they saw hard hitter from california...didnt see that this kid plays in a terrible division, finally played a team in a higher division and got smoked and got thrown all over. i mean cmon if you knew what i knew, how could you not have doubt? and about their conference in california....its a joke. to even downplay it by saying its not the top is a joke. sorry to break your heart on that one. the fact is, there are plenty of safeties who are worthy of a scholarship and have fewer question marks and this is what we get. kinda disapointed but then again im not on the coaching staff. most of you guys sound like you are or know so much cause none of you guys are asking questions or seem to care cause whatever the coaching staff does is correct. in my opinion thats very closed minded and ignorant. i cant speak for any kid in any other state because i dont live their but this guy is in my backyard and that gives me the edge. but if this kid gets offered then why not thatDaniel Davie kid in nebraska? hes way faster than this kid and has better measurables. but wait cause nebraska's perception is that they dont have legitimate d1 talent throughout the state and you cannot project those kids..well in division 5 and lower in california, its the same way..the talent level drops quickly and with that offer to be thrown out so quickly told me they didnt evaluate every aspect.

you are not evaluating the correct aspects of recruiting.

YOU DO NOT RECRUIT MANY PLAYERS THAT ARE GOING TO WALK ONTO CAMPUS AND START ON DEFENSE DURING THEIR FIRST PRACTICE!

i understand what you are saying about him not looking like a D1 safety to YOU but do you honestly think that you know more about playing the safety position than does the staff and The University of Nebraska? imma answer that one for you: no you do not. typically players are not at optimal size coming out of high school. players also do not usually even have all of the fundamentals down coming out of high school.

you cannot expect a 5 star recruit from every one of our 20 or so recruits each year and to do so is as you say "ignorant".

if you want all 4 and 5 star players then by all means start following Texas, USC, or Florida because im sure they will do it for ya!!

Ok Bo Pelini? how do you evaluate talent. cause i guess getting thrown on by a better team with less d1 talent is not apart of the process? yes he's only one guy but besides the hit, he did nothing. top dogs show up every game. and thank you for putting words in my mouth cause everything you said that you implied coming out of my mouth didnt. as far as the size goes, i didnt say he had no size, i mean he's no corey cooper but hes not off by a lot. and next time when you mention three teams to compare nebraska with, dont choose the teams that have won 5 out of the last ten national championships, you only made my point, so actually thanks

me thinks you need to work on your reading comprehension skills before i will continue to chat with you. (ie. didnt compare nebraska to anyone. re-read.)

I live in Whittier, between La Habra High School and La Mirada High School. My kids have gone to La Habra High School and my younger ones will go to La Habra High School. La Habra is a powerhouse for their division and won the state championship for their division this past year and 3 of the last 4 years. So it is not surprising that they laid the wood to La Mirada last year or any other year. La Mirada is in a smaller division and they won their division but to say La Mirada/La Habra only a had one D1 player(la habra) in that game may not be accurate.

As of this morning, Luatua (OL) from La Mirada got an offer from Bama. He is going D1, if not Bama, someone else will sign him. Max Gama from La Mirada has signed to go to Wash St. Aaryn Bouzous is signed on with NU. So from last years team La Mirada has 3 D1 players and we are 3.5 months away from the start of the 2010 season. They may have 1 or 2 players get scollies, so that would be/is impressive for a small school to send that many kids to D1 schools.

Vince, I agree with some of your points and it looks like you do go to a lot of the games and see them live but so far La Mirada is sending 3 of those juniors to D1 schools, that is impressive. Some of the top talent goes to the private schools around this area. Bishop Amat(Hacienda Heights), Servite(Anaheim) but those schools cost money and not all kids can go there based on the financial status of the family. So La Habra and La Mirada still have some talented kids but not a lot of 4 and 5 star type talent.

My son plays on a travel soccer team and two of his teammates are going to school at Bishop Amat and Servite. Those are based on a combination of being a good athlete and having the financial ability to send each kid to private catholic school. If Aaryn was playing for Servite or Bishop Amat he may get more attention and play against higher competition but he would still be from La Mirada.

So I think we do have talented kids in this area and I am excited one is going to Nebraska!!!

i was reffering to la habra only having one legitimate d1 kid in Quezada, other than that nobody was too impressive alone.

haha read your last sentence.."if you want all 4 and 5 star players then by all means start following Texas, USC, or Florida because im sure they will do it for ya!!" Using three other teams in your argument, automatically makes you comparing them. You're referring Nebraska does not get the 4-5 star players those teams do. which is COMPARING. all your argument did was was strengthen mine, you brought up the last 5 national champions besides LSU.

we need another guy with the "ooooo" sound in his name

That's what I was thinking..."They're not booing, they're BOU-ing..."

Hey, can some of the posters with local connections comment on the kid's current ht/wt? Wonder if he really exploded in this past year or if he's still 5'8.5 and 140.

His coach says he is a legit 5-foot-10 and 182-pounds.

 

[dylan]

His 4.5 was actually electronically timed (I think it was a 4.53 or 4.57).

not that it matters a great deal, but i think the number i heard was 4.52 electronic, which is plenty fast.

It doesn't matter if UCLA or any other school offers this kid he's an Nebraska lock so how do you like them apples UCLA

 

[girlknowsfootball]

This kid's only 17... he's got room to grow... he'll be 5'11" or 6'0" by the time he plays for us. I'm excited about this get... he's gonna be a great team player with a lot of big plays in college.

Vince you really think the only reason they do so well is because they recruit 4-5 star players? Do you really think Kiffin is going to go into USC and dominate the way Caroll did? No way. Yeah recruiting really helps a lot. Get good talent and its easier to be good, but look at Callahan. He had great recruiting and yet couldn't coach. Look at Kiffin at Tennessee. Obviously he didn't wait around long enough to use his recruits, but Tennessee didn't have bad players and yet he couldn't coach them worth a darn. Rick Nieuhisel (spell?) at UCLA. He has always been a great recruiter, but can't coach... want proof look at what he did to Colorado and what he is about to do to UCLA. A couple great classes for him so far, but I am willing to be he coaches those kids into losing seasons and probably NCAA sanctions because of how he recruited them there. My point being you don't have to have 4-5 star recruits all the time to win. It really helps, but in the end the coaching is what gets the job done.

Just watching video and doing some research, I'm not going to say that I don't have concerns about this kid. That being said, I would guess that whatever division he plays in is more competitive than Nebraska class C-1. Crick didn't dominate each and every game and he is doing pretty well for himself in big-boy college football. From friends in the Sutton area, they say that Schoff is a bit soft and he will likely be the highest rated 2012 Nebraska kid. Andrew Rodriguez was called lazy and he was highly rated and heavily recruited (and held his own against the best players in the country in the Army all-American game).

As for offers, sometimes kids just fly under the radar. Zach Domicone had no big offers much later in the recruiting season than this. Nebraska offered, then Oklahoma, and he ended up at Ohio State. I don't think Sam Acho had a major offer until the end of the summer. Nebraska offered, then USC, and he is making quite the name for himself as a Longhorn.

As for Davie, I hope he gets an offer. I'm sure if Bouzos was from Nebraska, there would be a lot of gnashing of teeth by some of the local skeptics. Maybe it is just human nature to question the kids that you know best.

I also think Aaryn is being recruited specifically to play the peso, and not a traditional safety position. His 4.5 was actually electronically timed (I think it was a 4.53 or 4.57). People get tired of hearing "trust the coaches", but they see things in kids that those of us with untrained eyes do not. Only time will tell.

Word is that after his camp performance interest was picking-up quite quickly on Bouzos with Arizona, UCLA, and ND getting into the mix. I think if the kid left himself on the market longer and hit the summer-circuit he'd have accrued a pretty decent offer-list.
