QMany Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 The incident -- in which Stringfellow's lawyer, according to the Seattle Times, said Stringfellow was just protecting a teammate who was a Broncos fan -- is not indicative of the player Duffy calls "String." "He was awesome in my program," Duffy said. "He's a really good kid. String, I can vouch for. He's babysat my kids." Duffy compared Stringfellow to Enunwa -- who recently completed his eligibility at Nebraska and was selected in the NFL draft by the New York Jets -- in terms of size and physicality. "But String is more experienced than Quincy was," Duffy said. "String was a three-year starter, whereas Quincy was just scratching the surface in his senior year. String was involved in a million 7-on-7 games. His experience level, coming out of high school, was much greater than Quincy's." http://www.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/recruiting-nebraska-still-in-running-for-stringfellow/article_9d2dd97c-e127-11e3-a02d-001a4bcf6878.html Link to comment

Big body guy and explosiveness, talk about stretching the field. He would be great for our run game in both blocking and forcing the safeties to respect the deep ball. Link to comment
caveman99 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I have yet to see anything stating that he has been given a release from UW, did I miss it? I understand that he will have to sit a year, but what is the deadline for him to officially sign with NU to be on the 105 this summer? Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Last I knew he didn't have his release but it was in the works at Washington. I don't think there's a deadline other than being here when camp starts. Link to comment

I don't think there's a deadline other than being here when camp starts.I'm almost positive I saw a husker online article that stated he has been released but he is finishing a week or two of school then he will announce his decision.

Savage Husker Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I bet Peterson at UW won't release him until their quarter is up, which is mid June. Correct me if I'm wrong, just my speculation, but probably why not much is being said. What are the rules for contacting a kid under scholly at another program and can the kid contact other programs? I assume this is why only his HS coach is speaking in his behalf? EDIT: My b, was in middle of post before above post about being released. Link to comment
QMany Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Often, a coach will wait until the semester/finals are completely done. It gives the kid a break from relentless calls. I'd assume that is why his HS coach is the point-man. That doesn't stop the kid from reaching out. Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 He is a student (at least I hope he is) and needs to finish what ever classes he is in right now before he can leave. Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 http://bit.ly/1hixboX I'm told by two sources that the administration's hesitancy may be an issuesmh. You hire Bo to represent your football team and make decisions about who to recruit, based, in part, on how they will represent the university. Let him do his job and bring in who he thinks will help him win games. Link to comment
dylan Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yup. Let him make these choices and take responsibility for how they turn out. Damn shame. Link to comment
caveman99 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Sounds like he's ours.So the Admin hurdle has been cleared? Link to comment
