I wonder if we will see a situation where a school will cancel the football season, those players will be given a free transfer option and we might be able to fix the WR position if something goofy like that were to happen.

I don't think that would benefit us.

This is part of why I was asking for more context to the "huge get" type comment.  I kinda like how @teachercd put it ... feels like a "used car" to me more than a "huge get".   No offense intended to Ezra Miller at all.  Enjoyed your input @Ziebol.  Certainly a fresh scenery will be good.  I'll be watching to see how his feet and quickness in that area can be transformed. 

You can say used car about 99% of transfers, this situation is not that. It’s a huge get because you are getting a 4 star recruit to essentially walk on and use a scholly on a different position this year. You are pulling a kid out of Iowa who was the #2 player in the state when he was recruited. You are getting a kid who many experts have said is a p5 starter and NFL upside talent to come in for no risk at all. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if in the future you see Miller-Corcoran-Jurgens-Piper-Benhart as the OL of the future.

Can you share why this is a "huge get" in your opinion?  I realize the phrase is not original to you.  I read that he was the #1 OL in Iowa that year.  I also read that of the class that was committed at that time, he was vocal more and recruiting others to the team.  I still can't understand if he really had back issues at all ... or it was a cover-up for what some say are the racial issues from that particular coach.  Anyway, if he is a "huge get", just curious as to why and how much better you and others think he is over Mbow.

Here's an old article I found that stated a bit of info on him ...
https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/football-recruiting/2017/06/26/iowa-football-recruiting-2019/429066001/

Additional question to others ... it doesn't appear that we offered this guy ... but he was the #1 OL recruit in Iowa and we give out 400 offers per year it seems ... so just wondering if we offered or he was locked up early before we could offer?
 

1. His upside is leagues above Mbow

2. He is a walk-on so there is 0 risk. 

3. He is coming from our “rival” and was a kid who was basically all Iowa.

4. It has been confirmed it was a mental break he needed. Lot of stuff happened to this kid in a short amount of time.

5. #1 kid in Iowa who was a Hawkeye fan and shut it down early = no posting of other offers

Huge get. This explains the cooling on Mbow.

Most athletic RB in NU history?   Skill set is unreal.   Guess I would want to hear some sort explanation / definitions etc.  He does look like a very good RB but geesh!   That may be a slight over statement at this point.  Highlights are nice but not enough to rate him up there is the stratosphere imo.  

He is worth a scholarship surely.  The RB room has some real talent potential based on the reports etc but to say we have the RB corps to rival the mid 90s is a big leap of faith. 

No disrespect - hope they are right but !   

What? Wiltfong says recent years. Not in history.

CB from BC. Confidence 7.

CB from Clint Brewster. Confidence 7.

Odd offer list for his rating thats for sure. Makes me think he is either way underrated or those offers are not legit commit accepting offers.   

2021 ratings are really odd as a whole. 

Need to get him here for a visit. I think we can win with one with Washington possibly not having room for him.

247 rankings are all pretty bad this year. 

Per 247 not a real offer.

The only thing I got out of this is that there is a grown a$$ man who thought it would be funny to make a fake Bob Barker account to tweet at 'croots.

One thing to remember, and this is not directed at anybody in particular, if the kid goes somewhere else don't bash on them. Don't follow recruiting if you can't handle decommits.

 

 

But how will he know that we didn't need him and that he can't handle competition if I don't tweet at him?

Per Iowa 247 writer, Iowa is most likely out.

Dang. Why wait a month if you’ve already made up your mind? Is he 1000% committed?

Two national Rivals' guys - including the big man himself - say he is still a Nebraska lean.  LSU and Michigan still pushing.

247 article from Fong says just as much. Loves the staff and their approach. Knows the players that we have coming in and the talent, names Manning, that we have coming in as well.

As long as we are bowling I will be content. Anything more and I will be doing back flips.

With all the bad Iowa publicity going on right now I wonder if the door can open back up for us here 

We will get better WR's in this class. I am sure the door will be open, but I think we will have those spots filled by the time the season starts.

Next man up
