RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 This kid might be the cats meow but I was hoping to get away from jucos unless they were unbelievable! Or unless it was a desperate position of immediate need. Link to comment
Nexus Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 What's his eligibility? I'm guessing 3 for 2. He graduated in 2011 from Simi Valley High School in California. Played freshman year at JUCO in 2011. Assuming he doesn't redshirt in 2012 during his JUCO stint, then his eligibility will be 3 for 2. Link to comment
Omaha-Husker Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 This kid might be the cats meow but I was hoping to get away from jucos unless they were unbelievable! Or unless it was a desperate position of immediate need. Well TE is going to be a pretty major need losing two long time contributors at once. Link to comment
TJ Alum Husker Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 great highlight video! showed his blocking, receiving and running skills. I really like this guy. I would take him as a 3 to play 2. Especially like his penchant for knocking people backward at the end of his runs Link to comment

Well TE is going to be a pretty major need losing two long time contributors at once. yup. it is a major position of need. even if lil' cotton pans out, he will be a RSF in '13, so we'll have him, sutton and some walk-ons (along with whatever true frosh). i'm guessing we can find a servicable player out of that group, but a good juco would be a nice addition. i love our juco recruiting philosophy under pelini and a good TE prospect fits it fine for this class.

ADS Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Coach Garrison stopped by to see him, he is our #1 priority at TE as of right now. Link to comment

I think the staff has done a great job with jucos. There are ton of unkowns with highschool prospects, even the highly rated ones (e.g. how will they do away from home, was their competition just really crappy). With JUCOs, you only get them for a couple of years but there are a few less unknowns. If you're wrong, you're only out a scholarship for two years. If you're right, you get what will probably be their two best years of college ball. Beau's picked up offers from Florida, Georgia, and Miami (FL). Link to comment
MinnwiscowaSker Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Unfortunately we haven't been so lucky with JUCO TEs. Tyson Hetzer and Chase Harper never turned out. Then again we just haven't had great TE recruits coming in. Cotton and Reed are solid. McNeil was great for us, but other than that we've really missed. Let's hope we can nab Sandland and he can come in and contribute right away! Link to comment
Decked Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Will visit. Will be 1 visit out of 5 Visiting to Ole Miss, And Florida does not know who the other two will be yet though. Link to comment
Danimal Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Considering the series of whiffs and misses we had after the Reed/Cotton class we could really use a TE in this class that can play immediately. Link to comment
jsneb83 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Georgia has offered. "I do not care where the college is on the map," Sandland said. "Wherever I find the best fit and where I am the most comfortable, that is where I will sign, whether it is right down the street or across the country." Link to comment
