Mavric Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Kid would play as a TrFr IMOI think we need to rethink our position on telling kids they could project to play right away. I know Bo was big on telling kids they aren't promised anything and I actually found that to be a positive. No BS. But as hard as it is to get these kids to even consider NU, I think telling kids if it's the truth, that we could definitely see them starting as a true freshman. Whether it's because of depth or because of a system change or that after watching the kids film, telling him he could transition quickly into the offense as a true freshman. Based on comments from several recruits over the past few weeks, It definitely sounds like we're doing just that. Difference between "could" and "will". Although, to be fair, there is a difference between promising playing time and saying you can earn some playing time if you work hard. I don't think it's a lot different from what Pelini's staff was doing. Quote Link to comment
RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Yeah. And that's good to hear. There's also a difference in landing highly ranked recruits that are ranked so because they are college ready. I think if we get lucky with a few more true freshman each year as far as production on the field(Ex.DPE) then mYbe we would become more attractiv to highly ranked recruits who project to be immediate impact type kids cause we can tout our use of true freshman.

Agree. And we've actually had a decent amount of true freshmen play over the last several years. DPE, Joshua Kalu, Kieron Williams, Nate Gerry, Josh Banderas, Kevin Maurice, Maliek Collins, Cethan Carter, Terrell Newby, Aaron Curry, Imani Cross, Ameer Abdullah, Braylon Heard, Aaron Green, Jamal Turner, Ciante Evans, Tyler Moore and Andrew Rodriguez are some of the more recent ones.

StPaulHusker Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I am sure there are a lot of examples of this but if he flips to Michigan after one OV there and an in home after committing to Riley at OSU and again at NU, then I see this as a serious problem for our program.

ADS Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Texted on of the guys from RSS that he has "nothing to say right now" regarding his recruitment. Quote Link to comment

I see it as a serious problem for the kid. I mean sh#t, our staff has put in a ton of time on the kid even before they got to NU. If the kid isn't going to come I don't think you can blame this on the staff. Harbaugh is the hot sexy choice right now. He was in the NFL and he's so great and he gives reach arounds. I mean, come on, it's just the flavor of the day and some kids fall for it. 2 Quote Link to comment

I just said that if something like this happens to Nebraska, that's a problem for the program Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Keep in mind Snyder is from the Bay Area, so he may hold Harbaugh a little higher than most. Although it would totally suck to loose him this late after committing to Riley and crew twice. Quote Link to comment

Red Five Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hopefully the Michigan coaches played the same card on Snyder they did on Neal... Quote Link to comment
SouthLincoln Husker Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I hope we keep him, but I like his maturity. He is not out there playing the social media game. Quote Link to comment
Amac3309 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hopefully is good for us @DaishonNeal90: Great talk with Matt! Quote Link to comment
