  1. I’ve been out of the loop for a while.. quite the year! I’ve only been paying attention here and there with this class but one thing I noticed was the level/ ranking of recruit this class. I know stars aren’t everything but am I missing something? Are we in on some bigger fish I haven’t noticed yet? Just seems like a lot of .85 range dudes

     

    appreciate any education on this class!

    No my actual thought looking at his measurables from day 1 was he doesn’t fit the dB recruiting profile we have been targeting. What’s the shortest dB we have accepted a commit from? 

    I know he’s not from this class but don’t forget about Cam Taylor-Britt...

    I don't think it really says anything one way or the other.  Other than we are working on a lot of guys.

     

    Each school does things differently.  This staff has taken the approach of trying to get a lot of kids interested with offers to cast as wide of a net as possible.  All things being equal, that's probably a good thing.  One thing that would make it not equal is are you able to put the time and resources into really building a relationship with all those guys or are some of them slipping through the cracks such that that number isn't really as big as it would appear.

     

    It reminds me a lot of what I used to do in NCAA football lol I would offer as many kids as possible and see if I gain any interest. If not, oh well, time to move on. In reality I think it's the same way. Frost and co cast that wide net and see who might actually be interested in Nebraska, see who they gain traction with and build relationships from there. Because of the geographical location I would say these offers benefit us more than anything. It's the same thing in sales, the more calls you make the better chance you have to find people interested in what you're selling and then actually make a big sale.

    The Skutt kid on the other end?  The kid from Westside that has an offer from SDSU?

     

    I can't believe I spent time on this.  I'm ashamed of myself.

     

    Just go to the first page and rate the topic as a one star... Idk if it prevents this dude from creating topics again but damn I hope so...

    Watched his highlights on rivals and must say on a lot of the plays i wouldnt have known who to watch had they not circled him. Had everage speed at best. Most of his runs were mainly because he was physically bigger not more athletic than the defense. Defense highlights were more fundamentally sound than flashy, and that was against competition that looked very slow. I didnt even see a G5 player let alone a P5 player.

    Yup, couldn't agree more. He's a big guy playing B class ball in Nebraska (no offense) and he doesn't even stand out...

     

    yeah I'm sure the OP will remind me about the 79 yard punt uphill in snow with 45 mph wind in his face blah blah blah... He's not scholly talent, he might be a hard worker and he clearly chose to go to Wyoming to walk on instead of Nebraska to walk on... OP if you're mad we didn't push harder for Harsh to walk on then you clearly don't realize that our coaches aren't going to go out of their way for walk on kids. If there's mutual interest then sure we'll push for kids to come to NU but please everyone let this thread die. OP hasn't made any valid points about this kid other than he kicked one ball really far in the championship and he played really hard in that game as well..

    Neither.  I am the guy who was miffed that NU let one of their best prep athletes just walk.  But I should not be surprised.  

    BTW would you be willing to give me a penny a day up until the next time we see a high school kid come into Memorial and punt the ball 82 yds?

    (Under duress, in his own end zone)

    I mean if he just some JUCO level kid, that wouldn't be very long right?


    You clearly have some personal connection to the kid, the HS or something because you are way too up in arms about this.. You keep bringing up the state title and Harsh carrying the team. That’s great! He’s a big kid that plays tough. With his size he has the ability to use that to his advantage in Nebraska class B which explains the solid running numbers. He is not a QB especially at the college level, I don’t care what his coaches say. He didn’t do anything overly impressive on the defensive side of the ball either. He has fight and size and moderate athleticism. (Just because he had a monster punt doesn’t make him a freak athlete) 

     

    I hope he does well at Wyoming. I hope he proves me and all the others wrong. Maybe he’s a late bloomer. Maybe we can just let this topic die because he’s not coming to Nebraska (by his choice), not some Danny Woodhead (true miss) and he is NOT the next Jim Thorpe....
     

    PS - you can be mad at past staffs for their walk on and recruitment of Nebraska but you’re f#&%ing off your rocker if you think Frost and this staff aren’t doing an incredible job at working the state for scholly and walk on kids.

     

    Thanks for the entertainment, back to our regularly scheduled recruiting program...

    Brandon Reilly is on twitter suggesting bringing back Keith Williams.  

     

     

    It wouldn't be a bad hire at all for a WR coach. Pro guys love him and work with him in the off-season. He seems to connect well with college/ HS kids too.

     

    I wouldn't be shocked to see us promote Held to OC/ RB coach and then hire a WR coach.

    I just got off a long conversation with my best 3 sources.  Word is Walters is out, we have a new OC and wide receivers coach. 

     

    Btw, i feel i need to verify my sources, for some reason i feel that noone will trust me.  I have several, but # 1 is a guy named Jim Beamer, brother of Frank, the man responsible for  "Beamer ball".  Also I have a Native American friend from the Res in Cherry County....we will just call him Redman for now, but he has spiritial insight.  I also spoke with the always trustworthy Mary J. Blige.  Yes she is a singer but what many of you dont know is she also has connections to the football program at NU.  Anyways, Word is Walters is out.  I will get back to you on the replacement.  Peace and Love.

    Where's that damn eye roll emote when you need it!

     

    And even without confirming your sources, that's a safe assumption. That's why there was all this smoke and mirrors with an offensive analyst/ assistant position opening the past week or two so we can talk with Joseph and Helfrich (and others) about coaching at NU.

    That's also what I'm wondering..If Frost wasn't happy with his performance or if he was just trying that hard to get a different job and Frost felt that he has just as good or better options maybe he just said c-ya.  

    Gave him the ole Jamoi Hodge treatment :lol:

  9. I mean this is obvious.... we wanted to bring on Micky Joseph and/ or Helfrich to be an analyst/ assistant coach. Neither wanted that limited of a role. Walters saw the writing on the wall and decided its best to move on as well. Now we can offer either of the above an OC job with a higher salary.

     

    Makes total sense

    Joe Burrow conformed OBJ was handing out actual cash, that was funny and awesome.  NCAA can’t do s#!t if you don’t talk.

    Burrow didn't need to confirm s#!t.. OBJ was doing that on TV in front of tons of cameras and reporters.

     

    It will be real interesting to see what/ if anything the NCAA does about this. May need to "give the money to charity" :lol:

    This kids twitter is all GBR.  From Miami Northwestern.

    This Miami pipeline could be something special for us. If we can get Terrance Lewis in 2021 and the “best CB in the class of 2022” that would be incredible.

    He seems headed to Tennessee to play with his brother. Was committed there before Jones was let go and he is a legacy. Wouldn't Georgia block that, though? Being in the same conference? 

    Normally, yes but not when they’re being sued by the family. Allow him to transfer and maybe the case gets dropped vs the university

    Who is Brad Dickson?   Beyond being a comedian wannabe.  Lol

    He’s a f#&%.. has several tweets about Nebraska and Nebraska football. Probably thinks if he’s nice enough he’ll get a bunch of husker fans to follow him
