Pedro Guerrero Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Have some of you people been at practice to actually know how good (or bad) this guy is? I am curious as to what you are basing your speculation of greatness off of. Rivals rankings out of High School? Media reports? Spring Game? Quote Link to comment
Tomhusker64 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Mostly just two fingers crossed and blind faith. And watching some of his film from different camps he attended while in high school. Quote Link to comment

They're basing it on the fact that he's a back up and had a lot of stars coming out of high school. Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Well and he's freakishly strong. So the hopes were high for the kid. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Of the OL positions, I'd think those who play center would benefit the most from wrestling. Quote Link to comment
hskrfan4life Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Maybe put him on the field. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Maybe put him on the field. Sean Callahan said today that he really needs to be one of the starting guards next year. Says he has all the tools. Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Maybe put him on the field. The guy obviously has some competitive juices that aren't being met on the football field right now. Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 “I’m going on two months right now and everything is going great,” he said. “My conditioning is back up close to wrestling standards. My quickness and balance are improving. That’s what I needed to work on for football. Things couldn’t be better for me right now. “Whenever you’re going up against a defensive lineman they’re going to try to throw you off or shake you off, you’ve got to be able to shift back in position. That was a big part of the balance I needed to work on - with wrestling it’s really helped me so far. My balance has improved so much. It really helps with pass blocking because you’re able to transition your weight back and forth. I’ve noticed it while doing my drills." The decision to allow Farmer to join the wrestling team after the conclusion of Nebraska’s season wasn’t one made lightly. Mike Riley and Mike Cavanaugh talked with the lineman, they spoke with Manning and all sides came to an agreement it might be worth a try. Manning was intrigued - one of his assistant coaches had told him about Farmer when the lineman was dominating Illinois in 2013-14 - but how long would he be willing to stick it out. Could he regain the form, while also realizing the sheer difference in high school to collegiate level? Nearly two months in the answer is a resounding yes. 247 Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Farmer thinks he has stuff to work on? Maybe he should stop lying to himself and start reading HuskerBoard to gain some inside knowledge on himself. 5 Quote Link to comment
