    Oh, and I refuse to "follow" anyone on an app with "twit" embedded in its name. It's almost like they're making fun of the people using it. So I don't know if Bell's statement was on there or not.

     

    As for what Bell and the rest of the players did or didn't see in Martinez, I don't know that, either. Bell says he like what he sees in Armstrong. I can live with that.

     

    Fun fact: The inventor of twitter hails from Columbus Nebraska.

    Columbus sucks lol

    I'm going to say this one more time. At the HS where I teach, there's a kid named Lowell Narcisse who is currently a sophomore. He is currently ranked as the #3 dual-threat QB for the 2017 class. About 10 years ago his first cousin, Chad Jasmin, played for us and was the #1 RB in the nation and Nebraska recruited him hard, but he ended up choosing Clemson and eventually played for the Seahawks. Anyway, I've known this kid since 7th grade and since I taught him, he knows all about Nebraska football. My classroom is filled with Nebraska football memorabilia and ever since I've known him I've been drilling Nebraska football into his head. During his 8th grade year his career took off and I knew the kid was going to be something special. I immediately contacted their coaching staff (Aaryn Kearney, to be specific) and told them about him. They asked me to send video, highlights, etc. and I did. Then, last year, he became our varsity starter as a freshman. The prior year we didn't win a single game. With him at the helm -- as a freshman -- we went to the state quarterfinals where we lost by 1 TD to the eventual state champions. Once again, all during his freshman campaign I emailed the staff, sent his stats, highlights, etc. and told them they needed to get on him immediately because he is difference-maker. Once again I was told that they'd "keep and eye out for him" and made no efforts to contact him, none whatsoever. Then, over the summer he attended the LSU and Mississippi State camps, and apparently performed extremely well. Illinois immediately made him a full-ride offer without ever even seeing him play. Les Miles and Frank Wilson from LSU came to our school to check him out. Once again I contacted the staff and asked what was up. I was suddenly told that they were "extremely interested" and would make contact. Unfortunately, by that time every other team in the SEC and elsewhere was extremely interested, too. Finally a couple weeks back he came to me and said, "Hey coach, I finally received something from Nebraska." He sounded really disappointed, especially after everything I'd been telling him about the program. So of course this season, as expected, he's been lighting things up, averaging over 400 all-purpose yards per game. He's scored at least 4 TDs in all six games this season. I basically gave the coaches a goldmine of a present, and they dropped the ball. This is why we can never catch up to the big boys, and never get ahead, because we don't do the little things that other teams are willing to do to give them an edge. I doubt they ever even looked at the film I sent, or any of the other stuff. I'm sure they just brushed it off and waited for the recruiting services to mention his name. It's a damn shame.

    I understand what you are saying but Teach is right. They get thousands of tips about kids all the time and 99% of them don't pan out. Your kid sounds legitimately good I hope they can still get in on him

    Sadly, probably too late now. Here are his stats, as a sophomore, through 6 games.

     

    110/180 1620 yds. 16 TD/3INT

    79 carries/663 yards/7 TD

     

    And say what you want, but other teams apparently took the time to check into it... All they would have had to do is watch the tape and they'd have seen.

    You're mad because we waited until a kids SOPHOMORE year to offer him? Wow. That's pretty damn early to get in on someone if you ask me. If he feels disrespected because we weren't the first to make contact, then that's BS and you know it.

     

    The entire nation was laughing at USC/Kiffin for offering someone in 8th grade. Kids develop diff. and might not turn out to be anything by the time they are seniors. Btw, what ever happened to that kid? Did he end up going to USC? Serious question.

    The kid has yet to play any high school ball apparently

     

    Edit: he has played, im looking for stats

    Tony Stewart ‘Runs Over’ Opposing Driver During Altercation, Killing Him (Video)

    You know. My initial response to this situation was that I actually felt more sorry for Stewart than I did the guy's family. Tony has to live with actually being the one who hit when the spoiled brat shouldnt've been there to begin with. Now it comes he was tokin' away on race night? Or at some point there in to where he still had enough in his system to impair judgement? He then gets in a sprint car to fly around a dirt track at 120mph. I'll tell you right now, Kevin Ward was FAR more dangerous that night than Stewart.

    +1 Count, that's how I felt too
