Johnny Stanton leaving the Huskers

[RunMickeyRun02]

Sad to see him go, don't blame him in the least.

 

 

 

I'll be interested to see where he ends up, hopefully somewhere where I can still see him play. For example Cody Green turned me into a Tulsa fan, if for only a year.

Don't blame the kid for wanting to go somewhere where he will get to play-a lot. Unfortunately, it's not here at NU. Best wishes Mr. Stanton.

[Landlord]

He's heading back home to Saddleback College, for those interested.

 

 

This is a good move for him per his own happiness and goals. Nobody should be anything other than glad for him and appreciative of his time here.

Saddleback is Coached by Mark McIlroy

Mark is an excellent coach and a friend

He is who I learned how to coach the Fly Sweep from.

They are spread- throw and run and have a very good track record of sending kids to DI

That offense may be a fit for JS

Mark knows how to utilize various strengths and isnt afraid to run the ball a bunch and PA when he doesnt have a consistently accurate thrower

They will run the inverted veer off of Fly and even QB traps and powers with kids like JS

[Savage Husker]

Also where Drake Martinez played last year.

Super laid back guy

Im sure it was quite a change from BP days

I thought this was some kind of limerick or sonnet before i realized someone switched your period with your enter key.

Stanton was told he wouldn't be on the Fall 105, but would have been able to join after school started and keep his scholarship. How does this work?

I guess the 105 is a fall camp limit and which players make the cut is a total coaches decision, but Stanton could have eventually stayed on the roster anyway by not pursuing a transfer?

105 is just the limit- based on who they think can help them the most- get the most out of the earlier start

Been done before- there was a JC QB in the Callahan era they wiffed on- moved him to safety

He was on the team- just to complete his education

A deal is a deal at NU anyways

I laughed way harder

than I should have

at that.

I wish the young man all the luck. It was obvious he wasn't going to be able to make an impact here. He was being surpassed on the depth chart by guys younger than him. With the talent of the incoming QB recruits, it may have been an even more difficult ladder to climb.

 

I don't blame a kid for not wanting to sit around and stick out a situation like that. Especially if that kid believes he is good enough to make an impact elsewhere.

[stargazer]

He just wasn't very good... reminded me of Beck... lots of stars, flash in the pan. Recruiting rankings mean nothing.

[Sargon]

Also where Drake Martinez played last year.

 

So then he'll be at Michigan State in '16. That would be interesting.

 

Best of luck to JS.

[skullNbones]

Best of luck Stanton! I shall cheer for you. Hoping you'll always bleed Red.

 

Not sure why it has to be somebody's fault. It seems it wasn't meant to be.

 

In the Deed the Glory.

For those who thought Stanton was the man, was in the mix, was going to play

You were wrong

Very evident by his lack of mention this spring and his poor play in spring game

Lack of accuracy is not easy to fix

Did you know he was a bust from the beginning or what

I said here several times that he had accuracy issues, which are the most difficult to fix

I also said since he didn't get in at the Spring game until very late and when he did he looked bad meant he wouldn't be playing QB here at NU

Several disagreed with that and said all it was going to take was some QB whispering- that his Elite 11 pedigree proved he deserved a shot etc

I countered that Harrison Becks QB camp ratings didn't mean much either and that JS wouldn't be taking any QB snaps at NU

Long term- Riley will not value or chase down QBs who run well and don't have consistently accurate arms

 

From what I saw he was definitely behind TA, Darlington and Broekemeier. Broekemeier is a much better QB than most are giving credit, he's no Matt Turman, kid can play.

Im not impressed with Bush (his tilt on the ball is awkward) or Fyfe, but even at that, being 4th best and not making the 105- he was done a long time ago.

Oh so you thought he was a bust in April when four other QBs played in front of him. Wow how observant you are. There's no way you thought he was going to be a bust when he was first recruited.
