ttheKid1*18 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 The thing that will be the biggest selling point for him is qb. That is the position he really wants to play, so we will see what the coaches for us and OU say to him. Should be interesting Quote Link to comment
BigRedfxtoy Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Add to the fact that he will not have a reciever that can dominate all DBs like he does now. Jump balls will not get it done in D1 football. (Maybe with Mo. LOL) He is more of a risk than most imo. He may not make it anywhere at QB. At this point, I think, the only reason he needs to to come to Nebraska is beause he is in our own back yard and you don't want people pissing and moaning bout us letting one go. Besides he is not tuely "N" in his heart. We would be a "well I guess I will go there" option and we don't need that. Like Callahan said last year " we want people here that want to be at Nebraska". I want kids that have the desire and the passion to be a Husker! JMHO Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 He is a great kid, and everytime he sees me, he says what's up man. How ya doing. But I don't know if he is going to be a d1 qb. He has some positives, but he needs to improve his passing considerably if he wants to be the quarterback for the Huskers. Right now, he can dominate because he is a superior athlete compared with the rest the high schoolers. I don't know if he would fit in in the wco here at Nebraska though, but we'll see.

husker rob Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 i would love to see him here at NU and get a shot at playing the position that he wants to play. that might not be the case for him but it could very well happen. maybe he comes in, redshirts hones his passing skills and then competes for pt. it is going to depend on him and his desires about playing as a true freshman. i have not seen this kid play, the only info i know about him is from this board, and with what is being said about him here is that he is not going to be ready for a year or 2 Quote Link to comment

That said, will he put in the work? I think he will, just by seeing him work out in school, and seeing him at practice. We will see though. Quote Link to comment

I've seen him play a few few times and agree he is a heck of an athlete but has much work to be done as a QB. He definately needs to redshirt and hone those skills. But if he can get it to click it would be awesome to have such a great athlete at QB. Quote Link to comment
Washusker Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 What if he moves to WR?? Or CB? Rivals has him at 6' 2". He'd be really good at either spot with some work. But alas, if he wants to be a QB, he'll have to go somewhere else, probably. Quote Link to comment

But alas, if he wants to be a QB, he'll have to go somewhere else, probably. I'd agree that he could be a good one with some work at WR or DB. Not sure about QB, he is real raw and not sure if his abilities would be suited to this offense. Quote Link to comment

Hunter94 Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 i really don't think cally sees this kid as having the talent to play qb in college....he may be living/playing off his athletic ability in high school, but the next level is a huge jump... Quote Link to comment

Couldn't have said it better myself. He is dominating right now because of his athetic ability. Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 may not be able to play qb, but his size and speed might be a good saftey/return man Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 I asked him if he was going to Nebraska, and he says he doesn't know, and he's gonna let it play out. The way he said it though, I think we could see him with a red N on his helmet come fall of 07, but don't mark it down just yet. Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Does he still have an offer? Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 Does he still have an offer? I'm pretty sure he does. Rivals still has our name on his college choice list. Quote Link to comment
