Mavric Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Apparently this is where Warren is this morning. Quote Link to comment
QMany Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 He visited USF last weekend and Georgia Southern the weekend before. Only started playing football in the last year or so. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 This is one of those players that I just have to trust the staff that they know what they are looking for and think they can make him into a good player. He hasn't been playing very long and obviously hasn't been heavily recruited. If he comes to Nebraska, great. We have had players before that weren't heavily recruited and came in to be good contributors. Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Warren got everyone psyched out. Bobbed left and went right. You are good, Warren. Very good. Quote Link to comment

We have had players before that weren't heavily recruited and came in to be good contributors. Possibly, but this looks like a pretty big stretch. I think the recruiting misses at DE last year and this year are going to come back to haunt us. We're offering warm bodies at this point. Quote Link to comment

But, I'm not willing to say it's just a warm body until they are on campus and getting coached. We won't know for a few years. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 On film he looks pretty damn athletic. Needs some work on technique but he seems like a viable option. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 The previous staff actually had an eye on him this past summer. I'm guessing Warren had already been talking to him and that's why he went this morning. Got back in touch with him after other offers fell through. Probably a boom-or-bust offer. 6-5 and a basketball players screams athletic potential but obviously very raw.. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 ALL DAVIS D-LINE!!! LETS GOOOO!!!! I like his height. Get him a couple years in the weight room and see what happens. 2 Quote Link to comment

It has worked out before. Quote Link to comment

I just wonder at what point (is it plan H?) do we have to admit our recruiting misses at DE are going to come back to haunt us. It's hard to be successful when you're offering guys with Sun Belt offer lists over the last two years, even if one of them turns out to be a diamond-in-the-rough. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Meh...I'm not going to stew about it. Things like this are why I absolutely hate coaching changes. It is extremely difficult for a coach to get that first recruiting class. Next year is going to be a big year for recruiting. Quote Link to comment

It is extremely difficult for a coach to get that first recruiting class. Next year is going to be a big year for recruiting. Next year could be 25+ class depending on attrition. Already 20 Seniors. Who knows what could happen with underclassmen and Armstrong leaving for the NFL early. Quote Link to comment
