nuhuskeralum Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Chad and Chris Kelsey, the Makovicka's, and Crick just to name a few didn't play great competition either in high school. If the kid has the size, speed and intelligence to go with a strong work ethic and a desire to be the best who cares if it was class B football. 3 Link to comment
Walleye Hunting Husker Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If he does end up committing to us and becoming a husker what are the chances we redshirt him? Does anyone think he won't redshirt due to our lack of depth at DT? Link to comment

Very few DTs out of high school are ready to play signification number of snaps as true freshman. Link to comment

In an ideal world you would like to redshirt every OL and DL incoming freshman. Of course there are exceptions like Andrus Peat for Stanford and Moss and Curry for Nebraska that physically were ready. Link to comment
girlknowsfootball Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 So this guy is between us and Mizzou, correct? He loved Mizzou on his visit. But hasn't visited us yet. So Here are my thoughts... What did he love about Mizzou? - team is a family - coaches are down to earth - campus is nice He says Kansas isn't really an option for him anymore and he may not even visit Iowa. He says Mizzou is the team to beat because of how "together" their program is. From his comments about that school I really think he's gonna be blown away by Nebraska. We have 2x better facilities including a stadium that will hold 92,000 next season. Our team is a family. Our coaches are down to earth and approachable. We are a much better team and have been consistently and will continue to be. I mean go down the list... everything he liked about Mizzou, we can trump. Link to comment

And yet it sometimes it comes down to the player seeing a liscense plate to make the decision. Hard to know what goes on in the minds of teenagers. Link to comment
ObamaRocks91 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Chad and Chris Kelsey, the Makovicka's, and Crick just to name a few didn't play great competition either in high school. If the kid has the size, speed and intelligence to go with a strong work ethic and a desire to be the best who cares if it was class B football. If that is directed towards me, someone asked the level of competition and I answered the question. I have repeatedly stated he has the measureables and will be a good player, just don't expect him to look like he does on film the second he walks on campus. Give him two years to get his technique straightened out. If that isn't directed towards me and just a general comment, I agree with you. Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Reminds me alittle of jared crick coming out of cozad high school. Both great smaller school athletes with wrestling back grounds. Hopefully he turns out to be as productive. Would be a geat get imo! Did Crick wrestle earlier in high school? He played basketball his senior year and Cozad was not very good... Link to comment
Dagerow Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I don't post much, but I got to say this is one of the prospects I really like. I don't care what his competition is the kid is a beast. Link to comment
nebraskafaninwi Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Anyone know if this is a full weekend visit? I know the normal process is eating dinner when they arrive on Friday (if they arrive on that night), go to sleep and then on Saturday go to the campus area to see facilities, talk to players, meet some coaches, etc. Link to comment
HuskerFowler Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Wouldnt surprise me to hear of him committing sometime this weekend, or beginning of the week. Link to comment

I was under the impression that this visit was to seal the deal on his commit. So if he commits, how many more DTs do we sign? 2 (with one probably being a JUCO athlete)? Link to comment
