He seemed to go after quite a few Nebraska guys. Pelini screwed up by only offering preferred walk-ons to class c and d Nebraska kids. Iowa benefited from this by getting Nathan Bazata and Drew Ott- I'm sure there are others. But I don't think he neglected Nebraska to near the extent Callahan and Riley did. Quote Link to comment

However Pelini didnt respect Nebraska talent to a huge extent either. He and his coaches didnt spend very much face time around the typical HS hotbeds in Nebraska- most HS coaches will tell you that. 1 Quote Link to comment

Pelini didn't value instate talent. He always wanted to evaluate them at camp before he offered. NU lost out on Harrison Phillips because he slow played him. The kid wanted to come to Nebraska but didn't have an offer. Visits Stanford gets an offer and accepts it a few days later, then Nebraska offers. Only offers Ott and Bazata walk on stuff and Iowa offers full rides. He doesn't offer those guys but it reaching for guys like Donovan Vestal and Walker Ashburn. Only offers Noah Fant as a DE. Kid doesn't want to play DE wants to play TE. Riley tried to get back in on him, but it was too late. Going to be a second round draft choice. Doesn't offer but one of the Prater twins, they are a package deal. They go to Iowa. Sean Fisher's little brother goes to Iowa because dad a former husker can't stand Pelini. Callahan was worse, Riley wasn't here long enough to look down on Nebraska talent. Everyone of those guys that went to Iowa played quite a bit. Ott, Fant and one of the Prater twins was all conference. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
OTHusker Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 6 hours ago, Husker in WI said: It's not all about numbers, he mostly played TE and they moved him around as needed. At least on film he was a devastating blocker - against weaker competition sure, but he was destroying people when he was out there. Hickman had 1300 receiving yards and no rushing yards that I see, and most people are very excited about him. HS TEs just don't put up numbers. Yes he blocked well that Is very true the games I watched he played: tight end split end h back fullback widcat quarterback linebacker he he missed a lot of later season games long shot at best yes I can see why you wouldn’t want to pass on him and by some miracle he shakes the injury bug and blows it up his brother is a real baller too not as big Quote Link to comment

Harrison Phillips was a total whiff i agree prater twins from Omaha central jay ball drove those kids to ic not sure Iowa would have paid for an official they were a bit of a reach academically behavior etc think they were late adds Riley was totally incompetent pelini hated recruiting neither had it right when it came to Nebraska kids jmo Quote Link to comment

I thought I counted it correctly but Pelini is 3 not 2 and line 2 was just bad math. I counted six but thought it was 7..... Should've said "worser". I'll practice more. Oops, sorry for the capitalization and punctuation..... edit- I suck at haiku I am a lazy dumb a$$ I will try harder 2 1 Quote Link to comment
