Ohio Pete Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Quick question. I always had the understanding that ESPN and Scout worked together when evaluating prospects. So why does ESPN have him as a 3 star/78 OVR, while Scout has him as a 2 star? I know some of you don't like this star business, but I am a sucker for it.

caveman99 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 well to me it doesn't sound like were allowing his commitment.. especially with the commitment of kenny bell coming up. its too bad we have to offer guys like jake cotton... Really? You think Jake Cotton is the reason the staff MAY not take his commitment? It is about numbers by position. If the staff sees Harold as a TE or DE prospect like everyone thinks, then NU is full. Chase Harper at TE and a multitude of DE prospects have already given verbals. This has nothing to do with Jake.

HSKRNOKC Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 He drug his feet and now may not have a spot. The chance to jump on was there to take.... Quote Link to comment
MadcatNU Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Is there any chance Cotton or Evans could be talked into a grey shirt, or even Mobley himself? Seems like a good athlete to completely pass on. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 This may have nothing to do with Jake but other prospects may. Or Jake may greyshirt. Every recruiting class has different kinds of recruits in it: blue chip guys, strong prospects, solid prospects, "fills a need", projects, etc. Jake I suspect is the kind of prospect that could conceivably fit the "deserves a spot in the class" profile. But that's one spot that is now taken up and can't go to a strong prospect. Especially in a "picky" year like this year, filling too many spots in the class with guys who would have walked on. Imagine if we fill up one of those last spots in the class with Bronson Marsh. That said, it matters less if Jake doesn't actually fill up a spot as some have speculated. I don't remember though... ANYWAY. If it's true that Mobley decided to commit, thinks he's committed, but doesn't know there's no spot for him anymore, there could be some really hurt feelings about to come...I hope that isn't the case. A lot of things said, including sign-and-place for Mobley or some NQs...kind of confusing right now. Quote Link to comment

miamihrrcns2001 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Ft. Scott is becoming NU's farm team. No kidding, I was just thinking of that the other day. Just wish that if that were the case, Owa, Seastrunk, Seantrell, and Prater all suddenly decided to show up on campus to be a... Greyhound? LOL Quote Link to comment
huskers1 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Sounds fine to me. If he can go to Fort Scott, redshirt his first year and put on about 30 lbs or stay the same weight and get faster and get to NU w three years to play that would be a pretty good situation. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Ft. Scott is becoming NU's farm team. If true then we will be in good position for future Juco players because some of the best in the country come from there. Quote Link to comment
Overland Park Husker Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Ft. Scott is becoming NU's farm team.

Nice to have a relationship with the coaches there. Quote Link to comment

This has nothing to do with Jake. maybe im not understanding your point. but to me, your helping my point. if we don't offer a scholarship to Jake Cotton, who is a DE prospect, we have a scholarship open for Harold Mobley, a TE/DE prospect. how does my comment not make sense? i'm saying if we left a spot open at DE rather than give it away to a kid that probably walks on anyways, Mobley is ours. he's a good prospect and a team outside the top 25 in recruiting should not be passing up on him.

Nexus Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Regardless I'd like to see him N, even if he has to go through JUCO first. With his size and stats, I could see him fitting into the LB position since we're already stacked at TE and DE. Otherwise WR would be the logical choice on Offense. He looks like he has D-1 potential. I think Bo could make good use of him somewhere on the field. The kid seems like a baller. Quote Link to comment

Cotton will probably outgrow DE, he had a ridiculous growth-spurt. I can see him filling-out to the 300lbs mark. I think he'll be a DT or OT in the end. Quote Link to comment
