I wonder how serious Texas State is about giving him a chance at qb.  Could be a recruiting ploy you never know in this day and age.   He is going to have to make the best decision for himself and look at what Texas State has to offer.  If he takes up their offer and they decide to switch positions later after he is on that roster hope he understands that or he could bank on being a qb and leading the team to a bowl game.  That's the best possibility for him as a qb.

Considering what the New OC at Texas state has done with the past 3 qbs at UIW, I would bet they offered him to play Qb.

Extremely well in recruiting?? Recruits want to know what that coach can do to develop them,what's this guy gonna say??? He's never coached or played the position . I really hope I'm wrong with this one but if this is who was hired I'd think a lot of guys said no first.

This is not a talking down Question. But have you went through the kids of today being recruited process? 

I like the hire. We need kids that can play and be coached and developed. We don't really know what this kid is good at but I'm sure he has something about him that Rhules knows will fit the program.

I keep seeing he is a high energy guy. WR's are high energy divas and relate to younger coaches at Camps, practice and in general. Send this guy along with the other Texas coach we hired to the camps in Texas and i bet we see a difference in the WR talent we start bringing in.

Facial hair checks out for a S&C coach. 

Has them crazy eyes too 

He got to work with Damien Jackson this season also.  That dudes beard and hair is nutts.  

Very very long shot.. But Rhule is a developer right.  What is and a BIG IF Smothers fits in this scheme and shines.

Darnay turned out to be a really solid player so the juice was worth the squeeze with him.  The other two...not so much.

He still in the league. Yeah i would say he did fine.

Understandabl!. Lol  I think that I've gotten way to much rest of recent.

 

Seriously, looking at Malik what stands out to me is his legs. Long and quite a distance between his knees and ankles. And his hips...They have a lot to do with mobility  Anyway, he has a unique build to me. It's been said that he possesses a fast straight line running speed though lacks agility and he struggles with change of direction a bit. 

 

I'm not sure how much those aspects of his game can be improved upon. It's less of an issue having an O-Line that's operating well of coarse. He certainly has speed. I'd like to see how he can scramble with better competition. His throwing accuracy can be improved upon. Just not sure how much the other elements.

Have Fun. Maliks team is in the gold. Him Achane (A&M's RB) and a couple others..  Beasts.....

Nebraska prides itself on being a boss. 

 

An Innovator.  

A leader.

A trailblazer.

 

There is no place like Nebraska.

 

When I see these two uniform examples, I wonder "Why the f#&% are we not going forward with exciting uniform changes each week ??!!?!!!"  

 

The players would love it, college football would love it, the recruits would love it, and the newer fans would love it too!. 

 

I think there is no better time than now to rebrand our image. Keep the 70's - 90's in our hearts, but now, put both feet into the 21st century.  

 

Time to start winning and looking awesome !!!!

 

 

Red Cleats and these are even more FIRE!!!!

He had really good HS numbers, but has not played much college ball.  Rhule likes mobile QBs & it sounds like he can play other positions.

Watched him play 3 times in HighSchool.  Had really good numbers in a horrible district.  
 

Transfered to FT Bend Marshall who basically had an all state track team on offense.  Check out their 4x100 and 4x200 team highlights from his years if your bored. 
 

But you can’t take away he can fly and sling it. Would definitely need a bit of development.

Pretty negative....not all wrong, but a long way from being right.  Iowa landed a back up QB and a back up TE.  They have also lost arguably their best WR coming into the season... a key CB and key LB.  Not sure they are in a tremendously better place overall than they were when the season ended.  We knew it would be rough here after the change, but this staff is recruiting it's tail off and we are not stuck in the mud by any stretch.  Things will shake out as they may....but we wont be in a horrible spot..... maybe not great, but probably as well as expected after a change.

Both Michigan players start at Iowa next year lol. Mark it.  I guess i was just hoping to see a little more incoming movement for us they we have so far. 

I know we will be better off next year solely due to the fact Rhule will have the guys we have left better then Frost ever did.

If Haussmann wants to go to Iowa so be it. They are going to continue to get worse as long as Ferentz is calling the shots. Their defense will not be able to overcome the offensive ineptitude they continue to put on display. Best of luck to him. He won’t beat us once before he graduates. Iowa is going to fall behind rapidly in the West in the upcoming years

Everyone mad at Haussmann for going to iowa.  But right now as I see it Iowa is getting better while we are stuck in the mud.

Apparently has a prior relationship from Matt Rhule from when he was recruiting him to Baylor and we are making a push.  Extremely fast and athletic.  It seems that some other teams may be more interested in him as a receiver but really wants to play QB.  I feel like we've got enough projects at the QB position as the room sits now and we've been down this road with Luke McCaffery so personally I don't like it on the surface.  Unless we plan on going back to running the option. 

 

Watched this kid play a few different times.  Was playing in a district that was horrible on a horrible team.  You could tell he was a different caliber of player.  Would probably be a nice Qb in Rhules offense. 

Well per Rhules past college track record we will win 1 or 2 games next year. So any thing more then that is a WIN.

Dumb question but who is Hales?

Truth. Heck of a lot easier to teach a kid to catch than to teach them how to run a 10.2 100m. 

I really cant disagree with any thing you guys are saying. My only fear is some times you just cant make a track athlete good at football lol.

Devon Allen. Track speed gets him shots but he cant get on the field.

That's a fairly high 3 star rating for not being rated before. 

Only thing Ill say here is he played in the Middle of the Classes 4A football in texas and some of the Teams HISD schools are HORRIBLE.  Rhule will need to develop him for sure.

Plays in the same division as 5-star RB Rueben Owens. Fun highlight tape, trying to figure out why he doesn’t have much of an offer list. Lots of clips of him at WR, maybe a case of him looking better as a RB once he finally got reps there?

Bay city is terrible here in texas lol..

This kids a baller. Played High school ball right here in the Houston are. Had one of the coldest 99 yard TD runs in the state championship games. I could see him here. Rhules type of Qb.

Its hard to believe he was playing with a torn labrum. If he did that show how dumb our staff was to not have either of the back up Qb's ready. 

I like Casey but lets start fresh with a new Rhule type Qb. I dont think Rhules Qb is on this roster currently unless he rolls with Smothers.

I think this does a hand full of things both good and bad.  I think it sadly unifies the fan base, those who were for mickey are more than likely at a cross roads with what happened (even if hes guilty or not).  I think with the university it unfortunately means ties need to be cut, no matter what this is not a good look, and like someone else said on another thread, bad pr guilty or not is still bad pr.  This is a bad look no matter how you slice it.  It think it puts extra stress on Matt Rhule and his new staff,  They will now need to start from scratch fixing all the bad pr this now caused and try to salvage not only the relationships with the new recruits but also the players that want to stay here.  And last but not the most important,  i think this kills next season.  With mickey out and the bad pr we will lose recruits and we will lose players already here.  Matt and staff wont be able to recover in enough time and next season is worse than this one.  Just my thoughts.

Rhules track record has us set for a 1-2 win season next year anyway. So as long as hey gets 2-3 wins hey hes ahead of schedule.  Sucks for MJ and the kids they may or may not leave but MH will get guys here eventually.

That's true too just like his record of 47-43.

Well i mean based on his track record we will be either a 1 or 2 win team next year.  Just saying
