np_husker Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Danny Woodhead - North Platte Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Not that I disagree with Woodhead, but if we're going to list him then we have to list Ed Thompson from Cambridge. He was an All American in D2, and he broke nearly all the QB records at UNO. Also, we'll have to list Strand from Imperial as he holds quite a few of the records at Chadron and was also an All American D2. We should also list Coleman from McCook. He was an All American at Kearney and holds quite a few records. I guess I was assuming we were listing D1 athletes. Quote Link to comment

junior4949 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I just remembered a couple from years ago. The first was Tom Kropf. He was recruited to play basketball and football at UNL, but I believe he finished his career at Kearney. He then was drafted and played pro bball at the Nuggets and I believe the Bulls. The second was Bill Jackman. Initially, I believe he played college bball at Duke but ended up coming back to UNL. He started either 2 or 3 years at UNL. He attended high school at Grant.

Pedro Guerrero Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Larry Station LB Iowa Hawkeyes. He went to one of the Omaha schools. You think he is one of the in state boys that got away? http://hawkeyesports.collegesports.com/spo...on_larry00.html Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Wasn't there a kid with the last name Billips or something like that, that ended up going to Iowa State about 5 years ago? We recruited him hard as I believe he was a 4 star recruit, but we wanted him to play defense and he wanted to play offense. He ended up playing defense for Iowa State. He went to a Omaha school. I know he started for a couple of years for Iowa State. Quote Link to comment
