Some of the kids on the opposing defenses look like they must have gone to husker tackling clinics

[I am GLORIOUS]

I've never seen this kid play. Obviously he's talented, but would he have put up similar numbers against tougher competition in Texas or California or Louisiana or Florida? Apparently the recruiting analysts think not. Maybe he's only a 2-star due to his academics and people thinking he wouldn't qualify?

Can people on this board find any good?!?!? Do you all find the need to be pessimistic Debbie downers.

[Lyons in the Sea of Red.]

He deserved an offer, without a doubt. You don't let that kind of potential leave the state.

He was low rated because he didn't attend many camps or really get any interest due to his grades.

Glad to get some Omaha kids offered and back on the squad.

Having read all the not so friendly comments about the kid through November bashing him because his grades were no good and defending his elementary teachers, it is amazing to see the dramatic turnaround in opinions the minute he seems to have qualified and is apparently offered a scholarship. Just amazing.

 

I am wondering if most of those defending the unknown teachers and public education system as if no child left behind somehow suggested that the child refused to get on the bus of his own free will. LOL Public education, particularly the k-12 variety, is just not very good in America. When large percentages of kids drop out (somewhere around a third of all the students I would guess) and another third of those who do graduate and are awarded diplomas can't do 10th grade level basics, there are major issues that need to be addressed.

 

While students fail to achieve and 'thrive' as some educators may like to say for many reasons, to say that teachers have no fault is nonsense. 'Social promotion' happens all the time and it has for many many years and maybe as long as there have been schools I suspect. Instead of 'No child left behind' (a very laudable objective of saying we insist that each and every student is important enough to be sure they get all the attention and focus necessary to help them keep up and 'make the grade' and learn successfully) should really have been "Every child passes" really. Very few are not promoted.

 

While there may be a majority of parents who would be unhappy that there son or daughter is being 'held back' by the teacher because they are not doing grade level work, most of the upset would likely be because the parents are unhappy with the teacher's work product and or the school in general. The parents have a very important role to play in raising their children and being good role models and encouraging their kids to go to school, listen and learn etc is critical. Certainly parents ought not to disrespect the teachers and school nor ever discourage the kids from doing his or her best. But parents are NOT supposed to be teachers and certainly are not to be doing the child's homework nor should they be 'tutoring' and or offering evening classes in 'homework' assistance.

 

Most schoolwork should be done in school on school time. Tutoring and assistance of the kids should be done by the teachers, not the parents. I have seen and heard numerous teachers state "it is not the teacher's job to teach but rather to enhance what the child has learned at home"! This is just NONSENSE.

 

I suspect if this young man has managed to get his academic house in sufficient order as to achieve the required grade averages in required courses and acceptable ACT test scores, then he can thank a couple of very dedicated high school teachers or other people who took the time and effort to get involved and steer and push and encourage and guide him in the right direction. Maybe his parent(s) (it's always hard to predict if there are none, one or two in today's dysfucntional society) did their part as well. It's good to see someone did but let's not let the teachers and schools off the hook - there are far too many failing students to blame the kids and presume the teachers are innocent. The burden of proof rests on the school and teachers involved NOT on the child.

Congrats to Jaylin for getting his academics in order! He wanted to play at Nebraska and worked hard in the classroom to get that goal. Now keeps those grades up in the 2nd semester.

Get an in state 2* to commit: "Wow, a 2 star..."

So people on the internet overreact and make ridiculous claims.

 

Wierd.

He had 2900 yards and 50 TDs this year. 2900 yards and 50 TDs! Let that sink it.

 

As far as I can find, Calvin Jones, Ahman Green, or Keith Jones never put up numbers like that.

What ever happened to Okafor after he left Nebraska?
