HUSKER FREAK Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Really thought we should of offered him. Agree. The 2012 class was too small. If he graduated in 2011 or this year, he would have gotten an offer. It "could" have been small - but it wasn't...because Peat chose Stanford. We ended up with something like 4 or 5 scholly's for walk-ons. There was plenty of space for this kid. I'll take a 320 pound athletic wrestler out of Nebraska most days. I understand the "wait and see" approach the staff took. But they should have offered towards the end. Absolutely!! Quote Link to comment
Comish Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Obviously recruiting is an inexact science. BUT, to pass on a local kid they must really have felt he was lacking somewhere. Got to chalk this up as a whiff for the staff........... Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Has he played a down of football? Not to be too down on South Dakota State, but it's South Dakota State. All we know about him right now is that he tests real well and he's slated to start at a FCS school. SDSU might have graduated a Senior Center last year and Shoff is the first guy up because they don't have anyone else. Physical testing does not equal success on the field. Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have watched this kid play sports since he was in Jr. high and I will tell you he is one of the most athletic kids I have ever seen. It was a pure whiff on our part for not offering him. Quote Link to comment
