papio2chi Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Interesting that we are looking/offering at TE (especially a JC TE) with the limited scholarships and the depth we have. Link to comment
Danimal Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Interesting that we are looking/offering at TE (especially a JC TE) with the limited scholarships and the depth we have. Ya, from what I understand we may not even take a TE this class. It surprises me we'd take a JUCO at a posiition we're pretty loaded at. Is this kid a better blocker than the guys we have playing now? Link to comment
caveman99 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Well I guess we are open to taking a TE since he appears to have a scholarship offer. Link to comment
hosker Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 how many years does he have to play? Link to comment
RedDenver Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Are we interested in him as a DE or WR instead of TE? Link to comment
Husker_x Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Talent is talent, but in a limited scholly class do we want to use up a scholarship at potentially our deepest position? If the guy's the next Chase Coffman, okay. Otherwise...I trust the staff, but boy I hope he's that good. Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Are we interested in him as a DE or WR instead of TE? He was listed as ATH for 2008, but he apparently played WR senior year in high school. He originally committed to Iowa State, but did not make the grade (or test score I guess) so had to go the JUCO route. With Chism gone, he probably isn't interested in ISU any more. Supposedly Texas was interested (for '08), but may have been turned off by the grades. Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted May 7, 2009 Author Share Posted May 7, 2009 Harper signed with Iowa State out of high school, but failed to qualify. "It's been good," Harper said about things since then. "They redshirted me. I was hoping to go with Iowa State, but I didn't qualify. I'm still going to get out next year and get three years of Division I." Harper added his first offer a while back, from Nebraska. While he had let NU tight ends coach Ron Brown know where he ended up out of high school, a recent conversation and a fondness of the Huskers dating back to high school has him thinking a lot about the Big 12 North school. "I talked to coach Brown today [Tuesday] as a matter of fact," Harper said. "He was just excited to recruit me. They really like me and how I would be a perfect fit in their offense. They explained how they wanted to use me. They plan to motion me around, as a real mobile tight end." Harper says that Nebraska was a school in high school he was hoping that would offer. So now that it's come, albeit later on, the excitement is definitely there. Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Baylor, Iowa State and Miami have offered. Link to comment
caveman99 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Coming on an Official Visit to NU on September 25th. The first scheduled official visit for NU thus far in 2009. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Lol suck one mizzou... now we might have a Chase of our own... Silly tigers, thinkin they can win by stockpiling all the Chases in the Big 12. Gotta love a tight end with that size... it's weird, but it seems like ALOT of JUCO guys have really good measureables. Anyway, anybody know anything about this kid? Anyone wanna dig up some stuff on how he was recruited coming outta high school? He signed with ISU outta HS but did he have any big time offers?

RedDenver Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Why are we recruiting a JUCO TE? We have 6 good TE's already, and none will graduate this year. What am I missing? Link to comment
redout22 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Why are we recruiting a JUCO TE? We have 6 good TE's already, and none will graduate this year. What am I missing? Yeah as much as I would love to see him come here we are stacked at TE. There is a lot of young talent there as well. Link to comment

Yeah as much as I would love to see him come here we are stacked at TE. There is a lot of young talent there as well. Because Chase Harper is a terrific athlete. The type you do not turn away just because. Link to comment
