Husker_x Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well...huh... I guess he doesn't want to play football at a serious school. Quote Link to comment
hskerholic Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I thought that this kid was gonna be our next commit? Quote Link to comment
HuskerRob Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 well, i think everyone can agree that this latest commitment comes as a bit of a shocker. Quote Link to comment

Reebsker Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Committed to Vanderbilt. Per Rivals. wow.......no sh#t?? not an easy place to get noticed??.......wow. I wonder if Emory Blake being interested turned him away? Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 He'll learn quickly that going to Vanderbilt was the wrong choice and that their football isn't on the same scale as Nebraska's and he had a good chance of early playing time at Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
BigWillie Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 I liked Brady as a prospect, simply because he did one thing better than most of our WR's we currently have -- catching the ball. But I'm not for sure our coaches or even Kansas coaches felt the same. Vandy was a clear 3rd in this race for the last few weeks, so it makes me wonder if both coaching staffs backed off a bit. In any case, you cannot go wrong with an education from Vandy while getting to play in the SEC. Not a sexy school, but you'll get TV time, even if you are getting blown out, plus you will get a GREAT education. Quote Link to comment

Bingo. I think he could have been an early situational receiver with opportunity to earn more playing time. Now he is going into oblivion. Bad choice IMO. Hopefully this means we are into some better guys at WR as I am quite surprised he went Vandy over NU and KU. Quote Link to comment
hosker Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 how solid of a commit is he for vandy? Quote Link to comment
BigBL87 Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I read on a board elsewhere that the thought is that he did not pick Vandy over Nebraska, but rather that Nebraska had withdrawn their offer. The poster (a mod on that board, a reputable one at that) said that it seemed that coaches were thinking that he didn't have the speed to play WR at the Div. I level, and that they were only planning on taking one TE, namely Kerr. That situation seems to make sense with the sudden change and all. Anyway, take it for what its worth. Quote Link to comment
MadcatNU Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Don't think we are getting the full story. Be quite the coincidence if both NU and KU backed off at the same time and all of a sudden. On the other hand, Vandy is a very good school. If academics were the issue, then it would make sense. But this is a 180 from the way things looked for the last few weeks. Don't know about the TE thing either. Kerr visited the same time as Brown. Sure seemed like the coaches were prepared to accept both at that point. strange Quote Link to comment

If he cares about such things. Quote Link to comment
