I would think LB would be better than RB, and I could see him in the rotation there in a couple of years. 49 minutes ago, Decked said: Really no risk here either way. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Fong says were "expected" to make a push for Dylan Edwards. Kansas State, Kansas and Texas A&M said to also be after him. I still think he ends up somewhere else - probably Kansas State - but I like that we're at least trying. 1 Quote Link to comment

RedDenver Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 21 hours ago, Decked said: Depending on how you want to disperse it amongst your scholarship guys. Right now we don’t have a ton of extremely valuable guys. The elite level players where you are spending big bucks on. Other than DR & maybe Banks. Keep in mind the roster is 100+. 85 scholarships. We have supposedly a pot of 10 million. The more elite players you have the more you’ll pay. and please keep in mind it’s housing, food, clothes, books/tuition. And cars for guys too. It gets expensive fast. I get what you're saying, but my point is that regardless of whether the official NCAA count has a guy on scholarship or not, we can still add scholarship guys to the roster using NIL money. It makes the distinction between scholarship and walk-on far less meaningful to the point where I'm not sure we as fans can make any meaningful distinction since we don't knowing what those players total compensation is.

Most walk-ons are good HS players. But, they don’t have the elite athleticism that good scholarship players have. That isn’t case here. I could see him either never getting the size needed or the mental side of the game and not doing much. Or, I can see a staff like ours taking him in and he becomes a contributor in a couple years. Either way, I’m glad we have him to see how it plays out. 1 Quote Link to comment

Either way, I’m glad we have him to see how it plays out. The Jeff Simms debacle aside, I have appreciated Rhule & Co.’s eye for talent. I trust them. Low risk, maybe a good reward on this one. Time will tell. Either way, it brings a Nebraska boy back home. I like all the attention on in-state talent and think it will pay off on and off the field for the program. 1 Quote Link to comment
MyBloodIsRed16 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Move him to safety. You are telling me with his numbers he's not a better fit at safety than Hartzog? 1 Quote Link to comment

I think he's more of a straight-line guy which makes it tough to play DB. He'll lose some speed as he puts on LB weight, but he doesn't really need to run a 10.5 there to be fast.

I haven't watched him play. just my thought that if he's that athletic maybe don't try to have him be an undersized LB but a normal sized S/SS. I also think we have enough guys waiting at both those position he will just end up a depth piece. He only had one tackle at Montana so I wouldn't even say he's a special teams guy Quote Link to comment
