REDFANATIC Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Need this kid! Think we wiffed on '18 O'line recruiting so far. Going to have to stock pile line men in this class. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Now in Florida and the state heavyweight wrestling champ. Sounding like he's pretty interested in Nebraska still. Was originally listed as a tackle but now all the services have him as a guard - maybe he quit getting taller. 1 Quote Link to comment

There has been zero activity with this guy since Frost’s staff arrived in Lincoln. Why are you assuming he is at the top of Nebraska’s OG list? 1 Quote Link to comment

Why are you assuming he is at the top of Nebraska’s OG list? It's these kinds of posts that fascinate me. Hmmm, well ... another moderator, @Mavric, posted an update on July 4th of the Current Scholarships/Commits. It is taken from the ***2019 Recruiting*** thread. As I've followed this position, it seemed we had a need both in the short term and the long. My perception and understanding was that Desmond Bland met that need in the short term to replace Farmer or Foster next year. On the list below we have Mavric has WIlliam Putnam on the list as the other OG/C for that position. I assumed since Putnam was on this list and he was around the #5 ranked guy at that position (247: #133 Overall; #5 OG; ) that he was probably at the top of the recruiting board. FYI, why would NOT have him at the top of our board? Thus, Mr. Moderator ... what's with the jab (it feels like one) at a fan asking for the guru's who are "in the know" if there is any update on this guy? It's been around a month or more since Bland committed and I was just curious if there was any updated info. As you even stated, "There has been zero activity with this guy since Frost’s staff arrived in Lincoln." To me ... that is very weird seeing that he is a guy who has been in for a visit and loved it, has a relationship with the former Husker OL Brian Pruitt and we already wiffed on that position last year. I'm curious to ask why are you implying I'm "assuming he is at the top of Nebraska's OG list" when as a fan that is the only understanding to come to based off the posted information from moderators like Mavric. Do we have an issue to work out in private or am I just reading something into this? Hmmm. I'd love to be educated, taught and informed ... please do so.

What a bizarre response. It's on the moderators list. Their are two guys on the list for OG, one is committed (Bland) ... the other has had no update (Putnam). I had no idea that Putnam was on the list until I read it on the ***2019 Recruiting*** thread. So, I'm curious as to why he is asking me. I'm just a fan reading the board. Yes, of course moderators can do that. I simply stated where I got the information ... from the board and a fellow moderator (Mavric). I've expressed no opinion at all on that. Bizarre response? Hmmm ... I don't know what you read that was bizarre. All the best to you. Quote Link to comment

If there is information it is usually shared pretty fast, not 4 months. 1 Quote Link to comment

However, I asked why would you assume Putnam is at the top of Nebraska's board, not Huskerboard's board? Obviously, as fans, we look at stars and rankings more than the coaches, who do their own evaluations. So, to say "look at those stars" means little as it pertains to a true argument to convince me that Nebraska is interested. Second, my post is not to dog you specifically, but to ask the question, "where is the evidence that Nebraska under Frost is interested in Putnam"? Your post prompted me to look for any news that Nebraska is making in roads with Putnam, I can not find anything. Maybe there are reports offered by recruiting services with a paywall (which I do not subscribe to), but beyond that, there is nothing to validate your comment. Quote Link to comment
NoLongerN Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Thanks for the last two posts. Appreciate your input. I use Huskerboard as my fan site and it's where I get all my info ... so yes, I assumed that Putnam is the next guy on our board ... both Huskerboard and Frost's. I'll move forward with a deeper understanding of your point Tom. Looks like Murphinator info might be even more solid then I had thought and I should take it that with no action he is actually off the list. And FYI, I will always be a star gazer on 247: #133 Overall; #5 OG; until another prospect gets put up on the board and his film is lights out. Until then, I don't have any problem looking at 247, Rivals and ESPN ... if they each have this guy in the Top 150 and Top 5 at his position ... I think it's fair to say that he is a good player. He is wanted by the top programs around the country. Quote Link to comment
Warrior10 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I don't think Putnam is on the coaches board because I don't think Putnam has any legitimate interest in Neb at this time. Quote Link to comment
