gobigredkent Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 How many walkons do you guys think we'll have this year. I'm guessing they won't have 30 like last year. Quote Link to comment
kstatehater Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 How many walkons do you guys think we'll have this year. I'm guessing they won't have 30 like last year. I'd guess 5-15...... No idea, but they have said that last year they were looking for quanity(quality obviously was part of it too), but this year they don't want as many, but they want them all to be high quality. I know one of the walk-ons from last year, not to take anything from him, but I'm not sure if they would go after him this year.... Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Saw this in the main forum: Josh Ryba Didn't see anything on Scout or Rivals, but apparently he wrestles at 285 and is pretty good. I can't imagine pinning a guy in 17 seconds. Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Another post in the main forum. Apparently, Colin Kannne has been extended an invitation to walk-on. DL Colin Kanne Millard West 6-4 235 Sr. No Scout or Rivals profiles. Quote Link to comment
glm09 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 P.J. Mangieri out of Peoria, IL is one that is being talked about. He visited this last weekend. He has a rivals page, but i can't get the link to work. he is 6'4" 220 and listed as an offensive guard...with that size i wonder what they have planned for him. DE maybe. Quote Link to comment

Ohio Pete Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 From OWH: Football: NU adds Kellogg, NickensBY NICK RUBEK WORLD-HERALD STAFF WRITER As signing day gets closer, some Nebraska seniors are filling in the recruiting cracks. A pair of 2009 prospects accepted walk-on opportunities from Nebraska this week, while a third accepted a South Dakota State scholarship. National signing day is Feb. 4. Quarterback Ron Kellogg Jr. of Omaha Westside and Alliance's Brodrick Nickens, an offensive lineman, selected Nebraska. Pierce safety Eric Koehlmoos is the South Dakota State commitment. Kellogg, the son of former Kansas basketball star Ron Kellogg, picked the Huskers over scholarship offers from North Dakota and Northwest Missouri State. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Kellogg won MVP honors at the Nebraska quarterback camp last summer. He joins a Husker team that returns five players at the position and adds four-star recruit Cody Green. Californian Taylor Martinez, recruited as an athlete, also has been quoted as saying NU coaches would give him a look at the position. Westside coach Marty Kauffman said Kellogg is "very coachable." "He's a very accurate passer and seems to be able to do the different reads," Kauffman said. "(The Nebraska coaches) liked what they saw from him." Nickens, a 6-foot-6, 285-pound tackle prospect, had offers from Wayne State and the University of Nebraska at Kearney. Divison I schools Colorado, Colorado State and Wyoming also pursued him as a walk-on. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound Koehlmoos, who was offered by a Wyoming staff that was replaced in Laramie, also received walk-on interest from Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska. "He was injured five games this season and even when he came he was only around 80 percent," Pierce coach Mark Brahmer said. "They wanted to see more of him as a walk-on. Eric really liked South Dakota State. The staff there was on him from the very beginning. I know they were extremely surprised and happy to get him." Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Kellogg wasn't receiving any interest at all from other schools. From the sound of it, I don't think he can beat out Green, Spano or Martinez. always need QB's though...never know when injuries will strike Quote Link to comment
glm09 Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 What is the walk-on policy at other schools? Obviously the walk on policy of the 90s was very unique, however is the walk-on program under pelini happening at other schools around the nation, or will it continue to be something Nebraska does better than most other places?
