MinnwiscowaSker Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 I'm glad we took Suh over some other in-stater...A+ job on missing the core concept of what I said. @Warrior10...So because he wasn't born in Nebraska (although he currently lives in the state) we shouldn't count him as an in-state recruit worth trying to keep? @Decked...no one, certainly not me, is saying the "...staff is stupid..." And if it is a genuine tie (in terms of talent) between an in-state and out-of-state kid, I would hope the staff would go after the in-state kid first. So you'd take him over the top ranked DT in the country, because he lives in Nebraska? If "talent" is equal...YES! I agree with this, if they're equal. But that's not the argument you laid out in your "cold take." If Williams was a top 10 DT in our back yard, I'd agree with you. Fact is he's not and we already have one three star NE DT verballed in a small class. Let's go get the best talent we can! Quote Link to comment
GBRFAN Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Talent or no talent - who is to say that a kid that grew up here wants to stay here or wants to be here more than a kid from the coast. This is silly - some kids look at this as a chance to "get away" for kids from Nebraska that is to go see the ocean / bigger cities - kids from other places may be trying to get away from the troubles that surround them and their past and want to come here. When NU starts dominating like they did in the 80's and 90's then young Nebraska boys will inspire to only play for the big red - we are not there yet!!! Quote Link to comment

Apologies...that's what I meant. If they're EQUAL, then go with the in-state kid. It made sense to me last night when I typed it...I knew what I meant. Quote Link to comment
Frostberg Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 "A source with knowledge of the situation projects the Hawkeyes next two commitments will come from Crystal Lake (Ill.) Prairie Ridge athlete Samson Evans and Lincoln (Neb.) Southeast defensive tackle Bryson Williams" Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Congrats to Bryson, but as Mav said somewhere this is the worst Class A distance in 20 years 1 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 On a kind of related note, all the money they've dumped into Burke over the years and they can't do any better than manual boards for field events. Slackers. Quote Link to comment
